A new marine animal species has been discovered. Locomotion is via a muscular foot. Digestive, nervous, excretory, reproductive,

and respiratory systems are located in a visceral hump. The visceral hump displays torsion. The species has a coiled shell, and a head with tentacles and eyes. What phylum and class of the superphylum Lophotrochozoa should this species be classified in?

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.

Answer:

Phylum: Mollusca

Class: Gastropoda

Explanation:

The superphylum Lophotrochoza consist of animals with lophophore or trochophore larvae. It consist of five different phyla including phylum Platyhelminthes, Rotiferas, Nemertea, Mollusca and Annelida.

Out of all the five phyla, the molluscs are the only group that are predominantly marine with muscular foot, a visceral mass that houses the internal organs and a mantle that sometimes secrete calcareous shells.

There are 7 known classes in the phylum mollusca. These are;

  • Aplacophora
  • Monoplacophora
  • Polyplacophora
  • Bivalvia
  • Gastropoda
  • Cephalopoda
  • Scaphopoda

These classes are often distinguished based on the presence or absence of shells and the type of shell if present. The only class with coiled (planospiral or conispiral) shell whose locomotion is via a ventral foot is Gastropoda.

Hence, taking the characteristics of the animal species discovered into cognizance, it should be classified in the phylum Mollusca and Class Gastropoda.

Answer:

RNA molecules are made of nucleotides. (Ans. C)

Explanation:

RNA, which is also known as ribonucleic acid is found in cytoplasm of the cell, and synthesized in the nucleus. It is shorter, and a single stranded molecule. It is composed of one or more nucleotides which are linked together by phosphodiester bonds.

In RNA, the ribonucleotide contains pentose sugar ribose, four nitrogenous bases (A,U,C,G), and a phosphate group. RNA plays many types of role in cells, but mainly involved in the translation process, and it's regulation which is known as protein synthesis.

That population will have less variability in size which has slower rate of mutation or has experience less mutation.

<h2>What is mutation? </h2>

A mutation refers to a change in a DNA sequence of an organism. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes that is made during cell division, exposure to radiation or chemicals which is called mutagens, or infection caused by viruses.

If mutation occurs slowly or not completed, it will leads to less variability in size so we can conclude that the population will have less variability in size has experience less mutation.

Answer: The attachment listed some cell organelles,although there isn't a specific question on then but am going to be defining each of them and state their functions as well.

1. The Nucleus; The is command centre of the cell, it is made up of nuleolus, chromosomes, nucleoplasm,nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina.

it contains the genetic/hereditary materials that the cell is made up of.

The Nucleus plays a great role in the control of growth and development of the cell.

The nucleus also coordinates some of the the activities of the cell like cell division and protein synthesis.

2. Cytoplasm; The cytoplasm is one of the cell organelles,it is the liquid portion of the cell,it consists of cell contents between the plasma and the cell membrane. The fluid cytoplasmic material is where many cell organelles are found/suspended fluid. Most activities carried out by the cell occurs in the cytoplasm.

3. Endoplasmic Reticulum; The Endoplasmic Reticulum is one of the cell organelles that have the structure of a network of flattened sacs and tubules and play a crucial role in plant and animal cell. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks attached ribosomes in them thus giving it the smooth appearance.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum functions in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in and out of the cell and also the production of lipids.

4. Golgi Body; One of the plant organelles that plays a role in the sorting and organizing the proteins produced and processed by the Endoplasmic Reticulum. these proteins are sorted and packed in vessicles to be used by the body.

5. Mitochondria; (a double membrane organelle). It is otherwise known as the powerhouse of the cell,it produce/generate energy in the form of ATP needed for cellular respiration. These energy produced is used for other cellular metabolic activities.

6. Lysosome (Animal) Chloroplast (Plant); Lysosomes are found in most animal cells, they function by digesting good and garbage,they contains acids that aids this function in the stomach of the cell and when the lysosome is diseased or explodes,the cell stops functioning.

The Chloroplast on the other hand is found in the cells of plants and algae,they play a crucial broke in photosynthesis by capturing the energy from the sun and turning the captured energy into usable forms like sugar,glucose and other organic molecules.

7. Cell Membrane; The cell membrane is the cell organelle that forms a boundary between the cell and the sorounding environment.

The cell membrane as well controls the movement of cellular materials in and out of the cell.

8. Nucleolus; The nucleolus is one of the cell organelles where ribosomes are made. The ribosomes are small grain-shaped organelles that make protein and they are found in the surface of rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. Nucleolus are small and round in structure and are found in the nucleus,

9. Vacoule (Plant Cells) Centrioles (Animal Cells); The vacoule is a storage chamber(reservoir) for wanted and unwanted materials in the cell, the vacoule is found within the cytoplasm and it is enclosed by a membrane that typically contains fluid.

The centrioles on the part of the animal cell is a cell organelle that has a structure of a two hollow cylinders,ring of microtubules next to each other(the centrosome).the centrioles are located just outside the nucleus of the cell.

Centrioles function by producing the mitotic spindles for cell division, and also assisting to pull chromosome pairs apart to opposite end of the cell during cell division.

10. Cell Wall; A protective semi permeable rigid outer layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms.

The cell wall houses the organelles of the plant cell.

The cell wall functions by giving the cell strength and structure,it's semi permeable nature filters and selectively allows certain materials in and out of the cell.
