Answer:

Facultative anaerobe

Explanation:

Facultative anaerobes are the organisms that are able to grow both in oxygenic and anoxygenic environment but usually prefer oxygen to grow when it is present in the environment.  

Facultative anaerobes in absence of oxygen can switch to fermentation to form ATP and perform a metabolic function but they prefer aerobic respiration when oxygen is available. Bacteria living in our intestine are facultative anaerobes. The growth of these organisms is higher in aerobic conditions than anaerobic conditions.

Therefore the correct answer is a facultative anaerobe.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

multicellular.

Explanation:

Organisms exhibit various levels of organization of the body. It includes cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level of organization. The unicellular organisms have single cells as their bodies and therefore do not have the genes that regulate the various parts of the body rather than the individual cells. Prokaryotic are unicellular organisms only and do not have multiple cells in their bodies. Therefore, the mentioned genes are the regulatory genes that coordinate the functioning of various parts of the body of a multicellular organism. For instance, the genes involved in regulation of blood glucose levels.

Ivan

Answer:

The correct answer is D. How closely related the two species are to each other

Explanation:

Genome maps of every individual is unique. Genome map is the order of sequence of nucleotide which is present in an organism. Comparison of genome map allow the scientist to know how much closely related two organisms are.

The map of two individuals of the same species is almost the same. Similarly, the two same species have a more similar genome map than two distantly related species because they share most recent common ancestor.

For example, humans and chimpanzees are more similar than other apes so  96% of the genome are identical between them. So the right answer is D.
