Natasha2012 [34]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: A. they are overcrowded

A limiting factor is the factor which affects the growth, abundance and distribution of population of species in the living environment. It is of two types: density dependent factor and density independent factor. The density dependent limiting factor results in the change of the per capita population of the living species, with the increase in the density of the population of species. Density independent limiting factor affects per capita population of the living species, irrespective of the density of the population.

Parasitism is a phenomena in which one organism feeds over the body of other to meet it's food, energy requirements and to grow in numbers.  Parasitism is a density dependent limiting factor because more denser the population more profound will be the effect of parasitism. As, parasites will get more number of hosts to acquire their food, and the infection will be transferred easily among large number of individuals in the population.

Hence, overcrowded population of host organisms is most likely to be parasitized.

It is possible for a mix up to occur between fictitious and factual information.

In my opinion yes, because sometimes fictitious information can have information that may seem factual or possibly have something in it to make it look factual.

Explain the distinct differences between a bacterium and an animal cell.
Vesnalui [34]
Bacteria cell has chromosomal and plasmid dna and is prokaryotic (without a nucleus). Animal cell is eukaryotic (with a nucleus).

Bacteria cell has cell wall and cell membrane, but animal cell only has cell membrane.

Bacteria cell has no mitochondria, animal cell does.

Bacteria cell has flagella, animal cell doesn’t.

A chemical mutagen that is structurally similar to a nucleotide but has different base-pairing rules is called a ________.
OLga [1]

Answer:

Nucleoside analog

Explanation:

  • Nucleoside analogs are the mutagenic chemicals that have a structure that is similar to the normal bases of the nucleotide and thus can be incorporated in the DNA during the process of replication, however as it has different base-pairing rules than the normal nucleotide base it can lead to mutations.
  • An example of a nucleoside analog is acyclovir which an analog of guanosine.

Using at least 3 steps explain how to make a wet mount slide with an Elodea plant​
Masja [62]
Step One - Obtain a clean microscope slide.

Step Two - Place a drop of liquid on the slide. This is the “wet” part of the wet mount. The liquid used depends on the type of cell being viewed:
If examining a plant cell, tap water can be used.
If examining an animal cell, physiological saline (or contact lens solution) must be used, because if plain water is used, the cell will explode from osmotic pressure. Unlike plant cells and bacteria, animal cells have no cell wall to structurally support them.

Step Three - Obtain the specimen to be used. Some introductory biology classics for viewing include:
Skin of an onion bulb: In order to view the cells, a very thin layer of skin must be obtained. Take a single layer of onion and bend it towards the shiny side. After it snaps, pull gently, and a transparent layer of skin, similar to Scotch tape, will appear.
Elodea leaf: Elodea leaves are two cell layers thick. The cells in one layer are smaller than the cells in the other, so elodea leaves can be used to better understand a microscope's depth of field.
Cheek cells: Human epithelial cells can be obtained by gently rubbing a toothpick on the inside of the mouth, and then swirling the toothpick in the physiological saline on the slide.
Pond water: Obtaining some water from a pond makes wet mount preparation a breeze, since the water and the specimens are both included.
