The correct answer is - b) parasitism.
The kudzu is a plant that has adapted to get stuck to the other plants, usually trees and bigger shrubs, and get nutrients and water through them. In this way, the kudzu shows elements of parasitism, as it is using a host plant in order to satisfy its needs.
The native plants and shrubs will have a big problem with an introduction of the kudzu in their environment. They will not have a defense mechanism, and the kudzu will spread out very quickly and suck the nutrients and water out of them, hindering their growth and even killing them over the coarse of longer period of time.
This would be a prime example of parasitic relationship between the kudzu and the native plants.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Blood cells are typically too large to pass through the glomerular filtration membrane. However if they do, this can be indicative of problems with the filtrate.
Answer:
Meiosis is a special type of cell division in sexually-reproducing organisms used to produce the gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. It involves two rounds of division that ultimately result in four cells with only one copy of each chromosome.
Explanation:
Answer:
A) Bacteria cannot carry out RNA splicing to remove introns and so produced a much larger protein.
Explanation:
Human is a eukaryote and has both introns and exons in its genes. Transcription of human genes forms a primary transcript that undergoes post-transcriptional modification.
One of the important even during the post-transcriptional modification is the removal of introns and joining the exons together to make a mature mRNA which in turn serves as the template for protein synthesis.
<em>E. coli</em> is a prokaryote and does not have the enzymatic machinery required for the splicing of introns.
Cloning of a complete human gene into the <em>E. coli</em> cells would not form the respective human protein since the bacterial cells would not be able to splice the introns from the primary transcript.
