The correct answer to this question is:
“The prediction is useful because it explains what observations will be made if a hypothesis is true.”
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
A tunicate is marine invertebrate animal which is a part of chordates. They have notochords and dorsal nerve chord. The subphylum of the organism is called as Urochordata.
The adult urochordates lack notochord but the larval stage of the urochordates have notochord. This is because it helps in swimming of the organism which is required only at the larval stage.
The adult stage of the tunicates is sessile and they do not swim so they do not require notochord.
Options are not provided in the question. I found the answer on the Internet.
Yes, deletion of the possible control elements can cause reduction in reporter gene expression. Due to deletion of a control element, the activator cannot bind to the enhancer. This causes reduction in the gene expression.
Answer: Deletion of element no. 3 causes a reduction in reporter gene expression.
Ans is option C. They both need an energy source in order to survive.
Energy is an absolute necessity to survive on this earth. All living organisms need energy be it anaerobic or photosynthetic. Photosynthetic organisms can make their own food in the presence of sunlight by photosynthesis and harness energy from it. Anaerobic organisms can also make their own food in the absence of sunlight with the help of inorganic molecules like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), sulphur (S) etc.
Its just that anaerobic organism's way of harnessing energy is different from those of aerobes/photosynthetic organisms but they need energy source for sure.
