Answer:

Fungi are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms, while bacteria are single-celled prokaryotes. The cells of fungi have nuclei that contain the chromosomes and other organelles, such as mitochondria and ribosomes. Bacteria are much smaller than fungi, do not have nuclei or other organelles...

Bacteria and Fungi come under different categories; the former one is the prokaryotic cell while the latter one is Eukaryotic cells. Apart from this, there are many differences between them like bacteria need a host to live, and they can be autotrophs as well as heterotrophs, whereas fungi grow their own and are heterotrophs which depend on others for their food. Bacteria do not have nuclear membrane enclosing nucleus, while Fungi (eukaryotes) have well- defined nucleus surrounded by the nuclear membrane.

True or false the consumption of irradiated food during pregnancy can cause birth defects

guajiro [1.7K]

Consumption of irradiated food during pregnancy can cause birth defects is false.

<h3>What are birth defects?</h3>

Birth defect in pregnancy are the structural or functional abnormalities occur during intrauterine stage. It can be detected either prenatally or in infancy state.

The primary causes are genetic, Socioeconomic, Environmental and other factors.

Chromosomal abnormalities and single gene defects are the major genetic abnormality based birth defects, such as Down syndrome and cystic fibrosis etc.

When parents are related by their blood group can also leads to high risk of rare genetic birth defects.

Hence, the statement is false

Identical population-splitting events occurred simultaneously on two neighboring islands, Islands B and C, which are each initia

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

This is due to the event of Speciation that happened for the rodents in Island B but not for the rodents in Island C.

Explanation:

Due to splitting of the population,

The sub-population of rodents formed in Island B are B1 and B2.
The sub-population of rodents formed in Island C are C1 and C2.
In case of Island B, each of the B1 and B2 sub-populations that got split from each other developed certain mutations that were necessary for them to adapt to the particular diverse environment each of them were exposed to, through the period of 50,000 years. These mutations were so varied that reproductive isolation was generated between them that resulted in each of them to develop into different species.Hence, speciation happens here and B1 and B2 are incapable of inter-breeding.
In case of Island C, each of the C1 and C2 sub-populations that got split might have got exposed to similar environmental change or no environmental change or the environmental change might have been too small to cause drastic change in each of the sub-populations. As a result of this the two sub-populations might have acquired certain mutations to adapt to the environment each of them were exposed to, through a period of 100,000 years. These mutations might not have been too variable or contrasting to cause reproductive isolation between C1 and C2. Hence, no new speciation happens here and C1 and C2 are capable of inter-breeding.
