Answer:

++

Explanation:

This is an example of ecological interaction where the actions of one organism is benefitting the other i.e. both organisms are benefitting from the relationship. This type of relationship is referred to as MUTUALISM.

In this example, the cellulose-digesting organism lives in the guts of the termite. The termite benefits from this association by getting its ingested cellulose (in form of wood) degraded or broken down. Termites feed on wood and naturally, they don't contain the enzymes that helps it digest it, hence, they depend on the enzyme secreted by these organisms in their guts to digest cellulose.

The cellulose-digesting organism gets shelter, protection and food in return as they cannot survive outside the termite's guts. Hence, it is a win-win (++) situation for the two organisms.

Write a paragraph explaining how eukaryotic cells arose from prokaryotic cells.
timurjin [86]
Cells are divided into two main classes, initially defined by whether they contain a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells (bacteria) lack a nuclear envelope; eukaryotic cells have a nucleus in which the genetic material is separated from the cytoplasm. Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells; in addition to the absence of a nucleus, their genomes are less complex and they do not contain cytoplasmic organelles or a cytoskeleton (Table 1.1). In spite of these differences, the same basic molecular mechanisms govern the lives of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, indicating that all present-day cells are descended from a single primordial ancestor.

The Ability to roll the tongue is determined by dominant gene while the recessive gene results in the inability to roll the tong
Rashid [163]
The wife and husband are heterozygous, therefore, they have one dominate allele and one recessive allele. The little boy inherited both recessive alleles so he can't roll his tongue.
T = Dominate allele
t = recessive allele
