Which is the best example of commensalism?
Strike441 [17]
Commensalism is a situation in nature where there is an association between two organisms that benefits one but does not help nor harm the other.

Let's go through each example in order to find one with commensalism.

A). Honey bees that feed on the pollen of cornflowers and help the flowers reproduce. 

This is not a form of commensalism as both organisms mutually benefit from the association.

B). Barnacles ride on a gray whale's back to obtain food, and the whale is not harmed.

This is a form of commensalism. The barnacles benefit from riding on the whale's back as they obtain food. The whale is also unharmed in the process.

C). Squirrels and chipmunks eat the same nuts in a forest where food is scarce.

This is not a form of commensalism as neither organism benefits. There is an increased competition for food that harms both of the organisms.

D). Prairie dogs often collect and eat food in groups so they are better protected from enemies.

This is not a form of commensalism as the interaction of the organisms is within the same species. In order for commensalism to take place, two different species must interact. 

The best example of commensalism is B.

Describe what is happening in each of the phases of cellular division with what you observe from the photomicrographs in the lab
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Interphase - There are 3 subphases called - G1 , S and G2 . In these subphases, DNA material is duplicated, and essential proteins for cell division are formed.

Prophase - the nuclear envelop and nucleolus disappears and condensed DNA forms chromosomes that are short in size.

Metaphase - the form of two sister chromatids are arranged in the middle of the metaphase/equatorial line. Two centrioles are found at two poles of the cell which initiate the formation of spindle fibers.

Anaphase - spindle fibers are formed and can be observed. These fibres attach with the kinetochore present in the centromere of chromosomes and these chromatids now start separated by pulling and pushing force of spindle fibers in opposite poles

Telophase -  chromatids reach at destination pole and then nuclear envelop starts creating again in both poles. Nucleolus reappears and now in a cell two nucleus are found.
