2 answers:

8 0

Because the parasite needs the host to remain alive, it is typically advantageous for the parasite NOT to kill its host, however there are examples of when death of the host occurs. An example of this is seen in the photo below. In the photo, a tomato hornworm is covered with cocoons of pupating braconid wasps.

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.

Compare the normal allele for hemoglobin with the sickle cell allele. How does this difference affect the person’s red blood cel

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited condition in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen through an individual's body. The red blood cells of a healthy individual are flexible and round, and they move through blood vessels with no problem, transporting oxygen successfully. However, a person with sickle cell anemia has rigid, sticky red blood shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These cells often get stuck in small blood vessels, which can slow or block blood flow and oxygen delivery to different parts of the body.

The sickle cell anemia trait is found on a recessive allele of the hemoglobin gene, while the regular red blood cell trait is found on the dominant allele. This means that a person must have two copies of the recessive allele (one from their mother and the other from their father) to be born with this condition. People who have one dominant and one recessive allele or both dominant alleles will have healthy red blood cells.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

phospholipids, sterols, and triglycerides

Explanation:

Phospholipids make up the outermost layer of cells in the bodies of both animals and humans. They create a protective layer around the cells to help maintain them.

Sterols are a subset of steroids, a type of hormone.

Triglycerides are the fats and oils that you are familiar with in foods. This type of lipid can be saturated or unsaturated, which is part of what makes them solid or liquid, respectively, at room temperature.
