Answer:

Rats - Virgin Island

Hemlock - Asia

Zebra moulds - Great Lakes

Explanation:

An alien species is one that was introduced into a new environment, but does not have harmful effects. Such alien species are considered invasive species as they begin to have harmful effects on the new habitat. Invasive species can cause damage to the ecosystem, economic harm or human health effects.

Three invasive species are as following:

Rats that came on board ships to the Virgin Islands infested the islands' sugar cane fields and caused significant crop damage.
The woolly adelgid hemlock is an invasive Asian insect which rapidly kills infested hemlock trees.
Zebra moulds in the Great Lakes can easily cover submerged surfaces, obstructing water intakes at water treatment plants and power plants

Sergio039 [100]

In this cross the trait of long tail fins is associated with the “Y” chromosome of the male.

Thus the alleles of the male are represented by XY” where X chromosome has no trait of long tails find

And the allels of the female are represented by XX, as they do not have long tail fins.

When these two are crossed , the following punnet square is produced

X Y”

X X X X Y”

The XX is the female while the XY” is the male offspring.

A spectacular marine animal has a network of glassy spicules that forms a sac-like structure. This animal does not have true tis

Answer:

Sponges use choanocytes or flagellated channels to get nutrients from the feeding cells to other parts of their body.

Explanation:

Sponges are marine animals with a sac-shaped body. The epidermis is composed of polygonal flat cells called pinacocytes and pores protected by porocytes. Under the epidermis, there is a protein matrix called mesenchyme, which is composed of spicules and amibocytes. By the interior side of the sponge, there are the choanocytes. These are ovoid cells that can be shaping the spongocoele (internal cavity of the sponge), with an extreme attached to the mesenchyme and the other extreme projected to the spongocoele, or can be grouped in spaces called flagellated channels.

These animals depend on water to get oxygen and food to the inside of the sac and take excrements and reproductive cells to the outside. Sponges feed on small detritus particles and suspending organisms that get near the animal by water streams produced by choanocytes.

Particle size is essential. Only the small ones can get through the flagellated channels, where they get stuck to the choanocytes and are encapsulated by the cells. If the choanocytes are too small, the particle is transferred to the amibocytes for digestion. These last ones also act as food storages. Excrement products are dragged by a water stream.
