One example of ecological interaction in the ocean is the relationship between boxer crabs and sea anemones. In this unique rela

tionship, the crabs "wear" the stinging anemones on their claws as an extra level of protection from predators. The anemones are then free to eat any leftovers from the crab's meal.
Part A: Identify which type of symbiotic relationship the above example is. (1 point)

Part B: In a parasitic type symbiotic relationship, one species of the pair is harmed. Make a fictional change to one of the members of the boxer crab/sea anemone relationship so that it becomes a parasitic relationship. Describe what that change is. (3 points)

Answer:

Explanation:

The ecological interaction between the sea anemone and monster crab is said to be a mutualism.

Mutualism is an ecological interaction between two or more species where all the parties benefits.

The sea anemone-boxer crab relationship as described is a mutualism. The anemone provides protection from predators of the crab using its powerful stinging claws. This prevents the crab from enemies. The anemone in return is able to get nutrient from the leftovers of the crab. Both organism serve a need for another and depends on one another for life.

2. For a parasitic situation to surface, one fictional assumption would be that, the boxer crab keeps getting protected by the stinging claws of the Anemone. The boxer crab on the other hand does not leave any leftover behind for the anemone to feed on.

In parasitism, only one specie benefits while the other loses from the relationship. If the boxer crab feeds without leaving any remnants, the sea anemone would get no nourishment. This might hamper the survival of this specie.

How do scientists use seismic waves to determine the interior structure of Earth?
Rom4ik [11]
<span>Much of our understanding of the basic structure and composition of Earth and the other planets in our solar system is not strenuously debated. We can infer a surprising amount of information from the size, mass and moment of inertia of the planets, all of which can be determined from routine astronomical observations. Measurements of surface chemical composition, either by direct sampling (as has been done on Earth, the moon, and Mars) or through spectroscopic observations, can be used to estimate elemental abundances and the degree of chemical differentiation that occurred as the planets condensed from the solar nebula. Remote observations of the gravitational field can be used to understand how a planet's mass is distributed, whereas the strength and shape of the magnetic field provides some constraint on the structure of a metallic core. The specifics of structure and composition, however, are much more debatable. And it is these details that tell us a much more extensive and ultimately more interesting story about the internal dynamics of the planets and their evolution. As a result, trying to determine them is frontier research in almost all fields of earth and planetary science.

In fruit flies, one genotype for red eyes is written XRXR. The R stands for the dominant allele for red eyes. What does the X st
Reil [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is : the female chromosome

Explanation:

  • According to the question, it is mentioned that R is a dominant allele, responsible for the red eyes.
  • RR is a genotype for Red eyes.
  • A fruitfly has a diploid genotype which means each trait is represented by a pair of chromosomes.
  • In the above question, the dominant red eye colour trait is represented by the pair of chromosomes RR.
  • Therefore, XX must represent another trait.
  • By convention, a pair of X chromosomes (XX) represent a female and a combination of X and Y chromosomes (XY) represents a male.
  • Given XX genotype represent a female fruitfly chromosome.

The use of restriction enzymes is evidenced by the statement 'cut site mCYCF3E 685' (Option A).

<h3>What are restriction enzymes?</h3>

The restriction enzymes are proteins (enzymes) that cut specific sites in the nucleotide sequence.

In this case, the enzyme cuts the gene mCYCF3E at the position number 685 (nucleotide base).

In conclusion, the use of restriction enzymes is evidenced by the statement 'cut site mCYCF3E 685' (Option A).
