 1. Plants, unlike animals, cannot move.  <span>Living things move primarily to replenish their energy and find security by hiding from predators. Plants are able to do both quite fine while stationary as they are capable of mobilizing their inherent resources, plus those available from soil with the help of sunlight to make food</span>                                                                                                                                                                    2. Desert plants have needles instead of leaves to help prevent water loss and discourage animals from eating the plants. Desert plants tend to look very different from plants native to other regions. They are often swollen, spiny, and have tiny leaves that are rarely bright green. Their remarkable adaptations to the challenges of the desert climate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              3. As mentioned in the video; horseradish is spicy because the radish plants stores toxins in its roots for protection. The pungency of horseradish is essentially a defense mechanism against herbivores. Plants do not have legs, therefore, they have evolved to protect themselves; for example the defensive poison by horseradish gives it's hallmark pungency.

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Question 1. option A. "Move".

Question 2. option B. "Water".

Question 3. option B. "Toxins".

Explanation:

Question 1. Plants unlike animals, cannot move. Plants are organisms that adapted to produce its energy from carbon dioxide and sunlight by photosynthesis. Therefore, plants do not need to move to gather its energy unlike animals that function as consumers in the food chain.

Question 2. Desert plants have developed needles to prevent losing water and discourage animals to eat them. Cactus and other desert plants use needle as defense from animals, and also to prevent losing water from the extreme high temperatures. Needles are covered with a waxy coating that prevents transpiration.

Question 3. Horseradish is spicy because it contains isothiocyanate, a toxin that when oxidized by air and saliva, it gets the sense of spiciness we experience in our tongues. Horseradish stores isothiocyanate in its roots and is it used for protection against predators.

Which term refers to a change in one species that results from a change in another species that it interacts with?
Mrac [35]
The answer is coevolution.

Coevolution is a change in <span>one species that results from a change in another species that it interacts with. For example, some species of orchid and African moth coevolved. That was a consequence of African moths' dependence on flower nectar and the orchids' dependence on moths' help in pollination. This two species coevolved, therefore the orchids have deep flowers while African moths have long proboscides.</span>

Aliun [14]

Mutations can be categorized based on the kind of effect they have on an organism. Blue eyes in humans are a result of a mutation in the OCA2 gene, which controls the production of pigment melanin in the iris.

This mutation is an example of a neutral mutation. Such mutations have no effect on an organism’s survival.

Which of these are true regarding eukaryotes? (choose all that apply)
OleMash [197]

Answer:

b. During replication there is both a leading strand and a lagging strand .

c. Each replication bubble has two replication forks.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication to replicate the long chromosomes at a higher rate.

The two DNA strands have opposite polarity, that is, 5' end of the one DNA strand is present opposite to the 3' end of the other DNA strand. DNA replication occurs only in 5' to 3' direction and the direction of the movement of the replication fork is also 5' to 3' direction.

To allow the DNA replication in 5' to 3' direction on both strands, one strand is replicated discontinuously in the direction opposite to the movement of the replication fork.

The discontinuously replicated strand is lagging strand while the other one is the leading strand.

DNA replication in eukaryotes occurs bidirectionally as two replication forks are formed at each replication bubble, one at each end of the replication bubble.

The presence of multiple origins of replication and the bidirectional process allows the replication of large eukaryotic DNA at a considerable fast speed.
