Answer:
1. Nucleoid
2. Plasmid
Explanation:
Prokaryotes are groups of organisms characterized by the lack of a membrane-bound nucleus in their cell. Due to this, the genetic material (DNA) of prokaryotes are found naked i.e. not housed. The DNA of a prokaryote is arranged in a single coiled chromosome located in a region of the cell called NUCLEOID.
However, some prokaryotes e.g. bacteria carry genes on extrachromosomal pieces of circular DNA called PLASMID. Plasmids carry certain genes like antibiotic resistance genes.
Krill, snails and abalones are primary consumers
Answer:
(a). soft substrates
Explanation:
Mobile organisms can be measured by both direct and indirect methods. Direct methods may involve observing the actual behavior (e.g., scoring via timing). Moreover, indirect methods are those where the technique used depends on the species being examined, collecting information such as through recording of tracks in the soft substrate (e.g., mud, sand, snow), presence of fur/feathers, droppings (mammals), etc. For example, indirect observation of insects may involve the determination of exoskeletons, sounds, etc.
