Organisms can form several types of symbiotic relationships. From the descriptions, determine if each of the symbiotic relations

hips is an example of commensalism, mutualism, or parasitism. 1. Hermit crabs protect themselves from predators by living in shells discarded by snails. 2. Ticks attach to humans in order to eat human blood. Ticks can also infect humans with Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme's disease. 3. The coralroot orchid is a reddish color and is unable to photosynthesize. These orchids take carbohydrates from pine trees through connections formed between their roots and the roots of the pine trees. 4. The bullhorn acacia grows special tissues in which ants live. The ants find a safe place to live and attack any animals that attempt to graze on the acacia. 5. The Leucochloridium worm infects snails and is able to control the snail's behavior, creating a zombie-like snail. The worm forces the snail to attract predators to itself so that the worm is eaten and passed to its next host. 6. On the Galapagos Islands, there are finches that remove parasitic insects from tortoises. The finches gain a meal and the tortoises are ridded of parasites. 7. Cattle egrets follow cattle and other large grazing animals and eat the insects stirred up by cattle's hooves.

Answer:

From the questions, here are the answers.

1 is commensalism

2. Parasitism

3. Parasitism

4. Mutualism

5. Parasitism

6. Mutualism.

7.Commensalism

Explanation:

Hermit crabs protect themselves from predators by living in shells discarded by snails and Cattle egrets follow cattle and other large grazing animals and eat the insects stirred up by cattle's hooves relationship is commensalism because commensalism is a symbiotic relationship that take place between two organisms in which one benefits and the other is neither harmed or does not benefit. Hermit crabs benefit by receiving protection from snail shells and snail does not benefit and not harmed. Cattles eagret feed on insects on cattle hoolves, cattle is not harmed or does not benefit

Parasitism

2. Ticks attach to humans in order to eat human blood. Ticks can also infect humans with Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme's disease. 3. The coralroot orchid is a reddish color and is unable to photosynthesize. These orchids take carbohydrates from pine trees through connections formed between their roots and the roots of the pine trees and The Leucochloridium worm infects snails and is able to control the snail's behavior, creating a zombie-like snail. The worm forces the snail to attract predators to itself so that the worm is eaten and passed to its next host are parasitism relationship because parasitism is a relationship that exists between two organisms in which the other called the predator infect , harm or cause damage to the host organism. The above are parasitism relationship because they cause damage to their host.

Mutualism

The bullhorn acacia grows special tissues in which ants live. The ants find a safe place to live and attack any animals that attempt to graze on the acacia and On the Galapagos Islands, there are finches that remove parasitic insects from tortoises. The finches gain a meal and the tortoises are ridded of parasites exhibit mutualism relationship because mutualism is a symbiotic relationship that exists between two organisms in which both benefits from the relationship. The Acasia and the ants receive protection from the relationship. The finches and tortoise benefited from their relationship.

What role does the MutL protein play in DNA repair? (5 POINTS) It performs a proofreading function, similar to DNA polymerase, a
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

It recognizes and binds to a pair of "mismatched" nucleotides, preventing their translation.

Explanation:

Mut L protein is involved in mismatch DNA repair. MutL protein is complexed with MutS protein and the MutL-MutS complex recognizes all the mismatched base pairs present in the newly formed DNA strand. The complex can not recognize the "C-C" pairs. MutH protein joins the complex.

The MutH protein also has a site-specific endonuclease activity and cleaves the unmethylated DNA strand towards the 5' end of the guanine base in the GATC sequence to mark the strand for DNA repair. In this way, MutL protein, along with MutS and MutH proteins mark the mismatched DNA bases for repair so that they are not translated into a faulty protein.
