Biology

The difference between a multicellular organism and a colonial organism is that colonial organism consists of individual one-celled organisms that can, if separated, survive on their own. On the other hand, cells from a multicellular life-form cannot live independently (they are all connected to function together).

Volvox is not considered multicellular because its cells are not aggregated into organized tissues and have no organ and organ systems.

The difference between a multicellular organism and a colonial organism is that individual organisms from a colony can, if separated, survive on their own, while cells from a multicellular lifeform (e.g., cells from a brain) cannot.

Volvox is indeed multicellular because they are a bunch of unicells forming colonies. But they did not give rise to land plants. Another group called the charophytes did! They are green algae, multicellular and possessing some similarities to land plants. For example, they have sporopollenin on their walls.

Why is avian influenza (H5 N1) rarely transmitted from poultry to humans? Why is it is often lethal
Olin [163]

Answer:

Lacks the right key to unlock many cells.

Explanation:

Avian influenza (H5 N1) rarely transmitted from poultry to humans because it lacks the right key to unlock many cells in the upper respiratory tract so due to this action the virus is rarely transmitted to humans. Sometimes it is lethal to humans due to absence of antibodies for this type of virus. It is rarely spread from person to person due to inability to enters the other human body.

Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is a really important figure in genetics, his work on pea plants provided us with many of the fundamentals of genetics that we still have today!

Mendel proposed 3 laws:

1. The law of dominance - this law states that where there are two different alleles (heterozygous) the organism will always express the dominant trait over the recessive trait

2. The law of segregation - this law states that offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, because allele pairs separate in the process of meiosis, such that each gamete contains 1 allele of each trait. When the zygote is formed, it contains an allele from each parent.

3. The law of independent assortment - this law states that traits are independent from one another at the time of gamete formation. The genes are segregated separately from one another, as the presence of one does not impact the presence of another.

This example shows that all combinations of the height and color allele are possible, and therefore nicely demonstrates the law of independent assortment
