Answer:
Parasites would not want to kill their host cells immediately because they want their food source or keep getting food, not to kill their food source (host cell). Parasites live on another living host cell for their survival, they depend on host organisms to gets an energy source, without the host cell they can't live, develop and multiply.
Mostly, if the host cell dies then the parasite also can't able to grow or reproduce and it will also die. So that they don't want to kill their host's cell immediately.
Answer:
E) In both mosses and ferns, moisture is required for sperm to reach the egg. In mosses, gametophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle. In ferns, the sporophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle.
Explanation:
The *sporophyte of fern plant is dominant over the smaller and nutritionally independent gametophyte*. The sporophytes are photosynthetic, long-lived and highly branched. *Sperm cells of fern possess whip-like flagella in their cell walls that enable moisture swim to reach the egg*
*In Mosses,the gametophyte is more prominent (dominant)* just like in lower plants. These organisms *require external water(moisture) in the form of dew or rain to move their sperm during fertilization*.
Therefore, *In ferns, the sporophyte is dominant over the gametophyte*, while *in mosses,gamatophyte is dominant over the sporophyte.* Both require moisture for sperm to reach egg.
Answer:
The correct option is A. they evolved from land mammals.
Explanation:
Evolution can be described as a process through which organisms in a species change over a period of time due to the natural selection of the environment. Those organisms that have many similarities in their functions or structures are considered closer to one another and have the same common ancestors.
The properties mentioned in the question about cetaceans resembles the properties of land mammals. For example, cetaceans lack gills and breathe air. Land mammals also do not have gills and need to respire for living. The cetaceans have fin bones which are similar to the limb bones in the land mammals. Hence, these observations show that cetaceas have evolved from land mammals.
Answer: Survival rate up to start of April = 76.67%
Explanation: size of colony = 150mice.
Size of colony in February =125mice.
Size of colony in march = 115 mice.
1. Survivorship rate in February
= Size of colony / size in February *100.
= 122 / 150 * 100
= 83.33% to the nearest hundredth
2. Survivorship rate in march
= Size of colony / size in march *100.
= 115/150 * 100
= 76.67% to the nearest hundredth.
The answer is C. Population size
