Flowers of orchid species Ophrys bombyliflora look and smell like female bumblebees. This attracts the male bumblebees flying ne

arby to the flowers. Thus, pollen sticks to the head and abdomen of the bumblebee, which causes pollination. This orchid species is only pollinated by these bees, which is why the species is known as bumblebee orchids. What mode of evolution is represented by this example?

The mode of evolution that is represented by this example is called coevolution. Coevolution is the process in which two independent species influence the evolution of each other. This process involves natural selection. There is nothing working as a forcing agent. Since this orchid named bumblebee orchid is totally dependent on a single species named bumblebee for its pollination and this evolution process, so this process is called coevolution. Various other organisms also follow this method of pollination to continue their cycle of evolution.

Regarding horizontal gene transfer between bacteria by conjugation, transduction, or transformation:
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.  

In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.  

a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.  

b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.

Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs both have a length of 5.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Hypotenuse = 7.07 units.

Explanation:

The sides of the right angle triangle are the opposite and adjacent side; which are both equal in this case.

Given the following data;

Opposite = 5 units

Adjacent = 5 units

To find the hypotenuse, we would use the Pythagorean theorem given by the formula;

Hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

Hypotenuse² = 5² + 5²

Hypotenuse² = 25 + 25

Hypotenuse² = 50

Hypotenuse = √50

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Hypotenuse = 7.07 units.
