D.  Predators

Predators keep populations of other species in check.  This was pretty clearly demonstrated in Yellowstone National Park after the wolves were eradicated there.  The deer populations increased to the point that the aspen trees nearly disappeared due to the saplings' being eaten by deer.  Since the reintroduction of wolves to the park, the aspen trees have begun to flourish once again.

Which of the following pairs of protists and their ecological roles are correctly matched?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The correct pair is A: "apicomplexans—parasites of animals"

Explanation:

  • Euglenophyta is a group of unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. They are small, free-living forms, or parasites that present different feeding mechanisms and behaviors, such as heterotrophy, autotrophy, or mixotrophy.
  • Dinoflagellates are unicellular, flagellated, free-living protists that might form colonies. Most of them are autotrophic organisms but some of them are heterotrophic, or mixotrophic. In these last cases, dinoflagellates can feed on other dinoflagellates, protozoans, or diatoms. They can also be parasites.
  • Entamoebas are endoparasitic organisms with no mitochondria as an adaptation of living in environments with low oxygen concentration.
  • Apicomplexa is a unicellular, protist group. They have medical and economic importance as they are<u> animals</u> and human parasites. They have an apical complex that helps them to fixate to the host cell and release a substance that provokes an invagination in the host membrane. This invagination allows the parasite to get into the host cell.

In squash, yellow seeds are dominant over green seeds. If two heterozygous yellow seed squash were crossed, what are the genotyp
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The result of cross two squashes with yellow seeds is an offspring of squash with green seeds -dominant caracter- heterozygous and yellow seeds squashes in a genotype proportion 1:2:1  and phenotype proportion 3:1

Explanation:

The cross of two heterozygous individuals for a characteristic results in an offspring that will have both characteristics in pure and heterozygous form. It is a cross monohybrid which complies with the principle of independent segregation exposed by Mendel.

For the characteristic "seed color" the green color would be G and yellow represented as g.

At the cross of two heterozygous squashs:

- Parents: Gg X Gg

- <u>Punnett's Square</u>:

Alleles    G         g

G           GG       Gg

g           Gg        gg

Offspring:

  • A pumpkin of green seeds GG (25%)
  • Two pumpkins of green heterozygous seeds Gg (50%)
  • One pumpkin of yellow seeds gg (25%)

Genotype proportion 1:2:1

Phenotype proportion 3:1
