Answer:

The number of genes partially explains how an organism has evolved and how it gained complexity.

Explanation:

The number of genes of a bacteria versus an eucaryotic organism is quite distinct and so is their complexity. A prokaryotic organism like a bacteria has a set of genes necessary to exert their basic functions and the number of genes compared to a eucaryotic cell is 3-30 times smaller, which defines a direct correlation of number of genes and complexity. However if we consider only eucaryote organisms and their complexity there is no such direct correlation between number of genes and their complexity when, for example, we compare the number of genes of humans (approximately 18000) and the number of genes of the <em>Trichomonas vaginalis, </em>an anaerobic, flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis. The number of genes of <em>T. vaginalis</em> is far bigger than the human cell, however the human complexity is far more advanced than the parasite organism.

Answer:

Which statement about biological literacy is inaccurate?

Assuming that all bacteria can infect you because your mother told you so is an example of biological literacy

Explanation:

This not accurate as regards biology as science does not give room for guessing or assumptions, every hypothesis must have passed through rigorous processes such as observation, experiment, criticism, validation before they are either accepted or rejected in science. So the Assumption that all bacteria can infect you because your mother told you so is an example of biological literacy is not just an illusion but also a mockery of science. Every scientific studies must be validated before being published for the general public.

What is the major cause of phytoplankton blooms in the Gulf of Mexico?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Excessive nutrients from fertilizer run off.  

Explanation:

Scientists have suspected that phytoplankton blooms might be connected to agricultural run-off. They got some evidence from a recent study by comparing the timing of irrigation along the west coast of Mexico and phytoplankton blooms in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. During the comparison, they had found a close correlation. Phytoplankton blooms occurred in the Sea of Cortez shortly after the irrigation. This happened because of carried fertilizers after irrigation and other agricultural run-offs into the sea.

The bloom detected in the Gulf of Mexico on December 13 might be similarly linked to agricultural run-off.

MATCH THE DEFINATION!
Sonbull [250]

Answer                           The definitions are matched according to the terminology given below.   Ribosome                                This organelle is the site of polypeptide assembly. This two part organelle is found in endoplasmic reticulum.   Lysosome                       The cellular digestion and disposal of biological molecules occur inside this organelle.    Mitochondrion                         Aerobic respiration occur in this organelle.   Endoplasmic reticulum                             This generally play role in cell defence.
