I recall that Professor Kwang had observed amoebas that had cannibalized bacteria cells. The bacteria were slaughtering the amoebas, but somehow some survived. This particular group of amoebas contained bacteria that thrived inside it. Hence the name, endosymbiosis. However, this lucky group and it's offspring could not survive without bacteria.

In 1987, Professor Kwang Jeon of the University of Tennessee observed a number of amoebas (single-celled eukaryotes) that had ingested bacteria cells. The bacteria were killing off most of the amoebas, but a small number of the amoeba survived and returned to their normal modes. However, the invading bacteria were still present within surviving amoebas. Jeon continued to experiment with the amoebas and discovered that these surviving amoebas, and their offspring, could not survive without the bacteria. Jeon's discovery and experimentation proves it is possible for a cell to become dependent on an invading organism.

3. Under which type of change would more organisms be able to survive? Why?

marin [14]

Most animals are well adapted to their biotic and abiotic conditions due to behavioural, physiological or structural adaptations that increase their chances of survival and reproduction. I looked it up for you

The movement of tectonic plates is driven byA)high pressure within the Earth.

Alisiya [41]

For much of the last quarter century, the leading theory of the driving force behind tectonic plate motions envisaged large scale convection currents in the upper mantle, which can be transmitted through the asthenosphere. So letter C. is the Answer.

A horticulturalist wants to produce geraniums with specific characteristics. She knows that the trait of red flowers is governed

likoan [24]

The answer is A -The red geranium is heterozygous for red flowers (Rr).

We know that the red flower, to be red needs to have at least a dominant allele, so it could be either Rr or RR.
Let's try both scenarios.
If the white geranium (rr) is being crossed with RR, all the offspring would be red with genotype: Rr.
On the other hand, if the flower is Rr and it's being crossed with rr, that would result in half of the new generation plants having red flowers and the other half white flowers.

Describe key differences between metaphase and anaphase

torisob [31]

in metaphase the chromosomes are lined up on the spindle fibres across the middle of the cell. and during anaphase the chromosome copied are separated and moved to either end of the cell on the spindle fibres. basically the chromosomes are in different positions
