The correct answer is B. Wasps lay eggs inside hornworms and after the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae feed on the hornworm.

Explanation:

In biology, parasitisms occur as one organism obtains one benefit from another organism that is known as a hostage, while the hostage is damaged or negatively affected by the parasite. This type of relationship can be seen in the case of lice as these organisms live on blood-warmed animals and feed on the blood of the hostage; additionally, the hostage is damaged not only because lice feed on its blood but because it can transmit certain diseases.

According to this, the statement that is an example of parasitisms is "Wasps lay eggs inside hornworms and after the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae feed on the hornworm" because in this case, the wasp is benefited by laying eggs inside a hornworm as this allow larvae to survive; also the host (hornworm) is damaged as it is eaten by the larvae.

How do mutations increase variety
Rzqust [24]
Genetic mutations increase variety by adding uniqueness to the world. Genetic mutations can come in all shapes and sizes based on the chromosomes in cells. Perhaps someone was born with one blue eye and one green eye, or perhaps they have hair a certain, unusual color. Genetic mutations add variety to the world by making sure everyone isn't the same!!

Explain how modern classification is different from linnaeus methods, and why scientists changed it
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The answer is that the criteria of classification change with the improved understanding of organisms around us. During the time of Aristotle, not much was known about the living organisms. So, he classified them as he observed. Plants were classified into herbs, shrubs and trees; very much like what’s taught to a second grade student. Animals as Enaima and Anaima based on the presence or absence of RBCs. After him, Carolus Linnaeus tried his hand over classification. He came up with the 2 kingdom classification: Plants and Animals. He considered only a set of morphological and physiological criteria to decide the kingdom to which an organism belongs. It includes presence of cell wall, mode of nutrition, contractile vacuole, locomotion and others. Based on these criteria, he included widely differing organisms into a single kingdom, for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, and higher plants were included into plant kingdom just because they have cell wall as a common aspect. Then came, Ernst Haeckel, who came with a third kingdom of Protista to include unicellular organisms. Copeland gave a 4 kingdom classification segregating unicellular organisms into 2 separate kingdoms based on their nuclear structure. R.H. Whittaker came next introducing the most accepted 5 kingdom classification system. You should understand one thing that man’s knowledge of classifying organisms improved with the improving technologies available to him, which he exploited to very effective extent. Carl Woese gave the 6 kingdom classification and 3 domain system based on the 16S rRNA sequence.

Our understanding of organisms around us is improving day by day and the system of classification will also change further in pace with the improvement in technology.

I hope this helps! :D]

Which of the following provide the most readily available energy?
emmasim [6.3K]
<span>The answer is a. carbohydrates. The amount of potential energy in the molecule depends on the number of C-H bonds in the molecule. Carbohydrates have more C-H bonds. Thus, they can serve as energy storage. Other macromolecules have less C-H bonds. Thus, when energy is needed immediately, complex carbohydrates break down to simple carbohydrates and the energy is released.</span>

The rain forests of the world trap a large amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Every year, however, more rain forest is
IrinaVladis [17]

Carbondioxide, being a green house gas has the property of trapping the heat from the sunlight and thus increasing the temperature of the place. As more and more rain forests are cut down and burned, there is an increase in this green house gas in the atmosphere thus leading to a steady increase in the temperatures.

As we look at the graphs that are given, we can see that the graph C shows the steady increase in the temperature as the time passes. Hence option C is the right answer

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

agouti - aaBbCc

solid color - AaBBCC

agouti black - AAbbCc

albino - AaBbcc/Aabbcc/AABBcc

Explanation: All the phenotypes that contain cc will be albinos, so they won't present any pigment deposition. Agouti black depends on the A gene to be homozygous and the B to be recessive, so the phenotype AAbbC_ is the correspondent. If A is not homozygous and B isn't recessive, we have agouti color. If B is homozygous and A recessive, we have a solid color.
