Answer:

<em>A. Both are eukaryotic</em>

Explanation:

Despite the fact that termites are insects that eat wood, termites are not equipped for processing wood all alone. Endosymbionts like trichonympha that live inside the digestive tracts of the termite help with converting over the wood into nutrients that the termite can process.

Trichonympha have the enzymes that can convert cellulose in wood into starches and sugars that the termite can use for their nutrition. In return, these living beings profit by the nonstop supply of energy rich cellulose and an appropriate domain in which to live. Both trichonympha and termites show mutualism.

What evidence is there that the 15 species of finch all evolved from one common ancestor?
antoniya [11.8K]
Darwin’s Finches: Darwin observed that beak shape varies among finch species. He postulated that the beak of an ancestral species had adapted over time to equip the finches to acquire different food sources. This illustration shows the beak shapes for four species of ground finch: 1. Geospiza magnirostris (the large ground finch), 2. G. fortis (the medium ground finch), 3. G. parvula (the small tree finch), and 4. Certhidea olivacea (the green-warbler finch) the Grants measured beak sizes in the much-reduced population, they found that the average bill size was larger. This was clear evidence for natural selection of bill size caused by the availability of seeds. The Grants had studied the inheritance of bill sizes and knew that the surviving large-billed birds would tend to produce offspring with larger bills, so the selection would lead to evolution of bill size. Subsequent studies by the Grants have demonstrated selection on and evolution of bill size in this species in response to other changing conditions on the island. The evolution has occurred both to larger bills, as in this case, and to smaller bills when large seeds became rare.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Becuase fom a vaccine you are recieving antibodies by another animal or human donor.

D is unlinkely since it describes how the mother is nursing the baby, so nothing directly mentioning of the baby recieving any antibodies. The other options also talk about how the body creates its own antibodies, which isn't passive immunity.

Los dominios biológicos son los taxones de más alto nivel, por encima de los reinos y abarcando todos los taxones, caracterizándolos de la manera más generalizada posible, dentro de la clasificación científica. Hay tres tipos de dominios llamados Archaea, Bacteria y Eukarya. Entre ellos, el dominio conocido como Archaea es el que engloba a los organismos procarióticos, unicelulares y patógenos, es decir, capaces de provocar enfermedades en el ser humano.
