Answer:

It is an environmental pollutant. It might disrupt sexual reproduction in marine organisms.

Explanation:

It is a pathogen. It might disrupt growth and development in marine organisms. - false. Estrogen and similar synthetic compounds cannot be classified as a pathogen. Pathogens are microorganisms that cause disease. Estrogen is a hormone, not a pathogen.

It is an environmental pollutant. It might disrupt sexual reproduction in marine organisms. - true. In this case, synthetic chemicals that mimic estrogen function have leaked into the environment, meaning it is an environmental pollutant. Because estrogen is a sex hormone that exists in all vertebrates (not just humans), its artificial existence in the environment will cause effects in marine life when exposed to it. This could interfere with sexual reproduction.

It is a genetic factor. It might be toxic to marine organisms and lead to death, changing the population structure - false. Although esrtogen can impact gene expression, it will not be considered a genetic factor. It would also unlikely be toxic to marine life, as they also possess estrogen.

It is both a pathogen and an environmental pollutant. It might lead to food shortages - false. Estrogen cannot be classified as a pathogen.

Mendel observed a 9:3:3:1 ratio of offspring when studying different traits. What would he have concluded if he had observed a 3

ANTONII [103]

Answer: Mendel would have concluded that one pair of factors (genes) is responsible for two different characters in plants.

Explanation:

The 9:3:3:1 ratio observed by Mendel helped him to form his Law of Independent Assortment which states that the inheritance of one pair of factors (genes) is independent of the inheritance of the other pair.

Also from his previous studies, he obtained a 3:1 ratio for a single gene expression, flower color, which enabled to form the Law of Segregation, which states individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring.

However, if he had observed a 3:1 ratio for two traits, he would have concluded that inheritance of characters occurs in pairs i.e., that a pair of alleles is responsible for two different characters in plants.

Why are viruses referred to as obligate fuasites?

Elena L [17]

Answer:

b. They cannot reproduce outside of a host cell.

Explanation:

Viruses are parasitic organisms that need a host in order to thrive and reproduce. This means that they cannot replicate outside of a host cell, but can only do this by parasitizing it. They have to find a host cell in order to continue their life-cycle or else they won't thrive. The word "obligate" means being restricted to a specific mode or function in life. This shows that the virus has a restriction when it comes to reproduction. It cannot reproduce without finding a host cell.
