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.

A woman who is a carrier for colour blindness (X-linked recessive) has children with a man who has normal colour vision. A. What
viva [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Genotype of the  woman is XCbXN

The man XNY

Since the allele for the color blindness is carried on one of the X -chromosomes of the  carrier mother, then  the male children will be color blind or carrier deopending on the defective gene they inherited. Since they will receive the defective or normal  allele from the  mothers,but the female will carriers or normal because they will inherit either defective allele or normal allele from the mother,but normal  X allele from the father.

Assuming the colorbind gene was inherited by One of the boys, and the girls take the defective genes

1. XNY vs XCbXN.Then the one of the  boys will be colorblind  and the one of  girls will be carriers. XNXCb, XNXN, XCbY,XNY  50 %

2.If the two boys take the effective genes from the mothers. and none of the girls take the defective alelle

Then the two boys will be colorblind and the girls will be carrries XcbY,XcbY and XNXN XNXN.(normal girls).

The proportions that will be  the females  since the girls can only take the defective allele from one of the normal and defective allele from the mother. Assuming the girls  take the defective allele from the mothers and take normal from the father,they will all  be carriers,since the X of the father is normal.

They can not have a color blind girl.Since the father is normal It takes two colorblind X-chromosome to give a girl.
