Assume that some members of an aquatic species of motile, photosynthetic protists evolve to become parasitic to fish. They gain

the ability to live in the fish gut, absorbing nutrients as the fish digest food. Overtime, which of the following phenotypic changes would you expect to observe in the population of protists?a.) gain of meiosisb.) loss of mobilityc.) loss of chloroplastsd.) no changes would be expectede.) gain a rigid cell wall

Answer:

The correct answer is C: l<em>oss of chloroplasts.</em>

Explanation:

The parasite would lose chloroplasts. As they absorb nutrients from the fish digest food in the gut of the animal, parasites do not need to photosynthesize any more. There are some parasites in the fishes digestive tract that conserve their motile capacity by keeping their flagellum or cilium. Some species get their membranes thicker for protection in their interaction with the host, and they can also secrete a special capsule.  In general, these organisms reproduce asexually.

Antibiotics are powerful medicines that fight bacterial infections. Used properly, antibiotics can save lives. They either kill bacteria or keep them from reproducing. Your body's natural defenses usually take it from there. Antibiotics do not kill viruses.

Form a hypothesis about the relationship between vegetable mass and salinity of the solution
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

HYPOTHESIS: IF the salinity of the solution decreases, THEN the vegetable mass increases.

Explanation:

Hypothesis, in an experiment, is a testable explanation or prediction made to solve an observed problem or answer a question. It shows how one variable called independent variable affects another variable called dependent variable. It is usually written in the "IF, THEN" format.

In this case, the question states that there is a relationship between vegetable mass and salinity of the solution. This means that the question has been asked that "Why is the vegetable's mass affected by salinity of a solution". Hence, a hypothesis can read:

IF the salinity of the solution decreases, THEN the vegetable mass increases.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: If every gene has a tissue-specific and signal-dependent transcription pattern, how can such a small number of transcriptional regulatory proteins generate a much larger set of transcriptional patterns? Would be:

Because transcriptional regulators, which are the ones responsible for initiating, and stopping, transcription of RNA into protein, often work in pairs, one goes with the other, and thus increase the regulatory capabilities over gene expression so that the genes translated into RNA and then transcribed into aminoacids in protein chains, actually code for the correct protein types.

These regulators will both stand, as appropriate, on a specific gene to promote its transcription, or prevent it, depending on the different signaling mechanisms received.
