Answer:

horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) can be defined as a non-sexual process that enables the exchange of genetic information between genomes. Although HGT mainly occurs between prokaryotic genomes, an increasing number of examples involving eukaryotic host genomes have recently been described. <em>Agrobacterium</em> bacteria are capable of transferring and integrating DNA into the genome of eukaryotic cell hosts by the HGT mechanism. The transference of genetic material via <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated transformation is widely used in biotechnology to generate plants with desired genetic sequences. In the last years, it has been shown that various bacterial species including <em>Bartonella henselae</em>  <em>Rhizobium etli</em> or even <em>Escherichia coli</em>, are able to genetically transform eukaryotic cells under laboratory growth conditions. The genetic phenomenon of horizontal gene transfer has evolutionary significance since it enables to bypass barriers between kingdoms in order to acquire nucleotide sequences that may eventually have some adaptive advantage. Moreover, the mechanism of horizontal transfer challenges a narrow vision of the eukaryotic genome as a fixed entity.

Answer:

Mollusca Phylum

Gastropoda class

Explanation:

The Mollusca Phylum is one of the most noticeable phyla that includes a wide variety of forms.

The ancestral Mollusca used to habit the pre-cambric oceans. It was bilaterally symmetrical, with a well-defined head that had tentacles and ocellus. Its ventral surface was plane and muscular, shaping a reptant foot. The dorsal surface was protected with a convex and oval shell.

The Gastropoda class is the richest class among all mollusks. This class experienced a characteristic torsion in their shell. This twist also involved the visceral mass, the mantle, and the mantle cavity. But by the time that this torsion occurred, the shell had already experienced a turn into a coil shape, which was then followed by its torsion.

The typical gasteropod´s shell is a conical structure composed of several tubular spirals containing the individual´s visceral mass. The biggest spiral ends as an opening from which the head and the food protrude.

How can the over harvesting of a single species affect an entire ecosystem?
tamaranim1 [39]

Summarize how the overharvesting of a single species, such as a baleen whale, can affect an entire ecosystem. Overharvesting the baleen whale would affect the entire ecosystem by changing the relationships among the organisms in the food web.
