Although choanoflagellates are fundamentally unicellular organisms, they possess genes that code for cadherins and integrins. Wh

ich of the following hypotheses regarding the function of these molecules in choanoflagellates is supported by laboratory experiments?
a. Cadherins and integrins are used for cell adhesion during the formation of temporary multicellular structures to defend against predators.

b. The genes are not actually expressed and are simply vestiges of an ancestor that used cadherins and integrins for adhesion.

c. Cadherins and integrins are used for cell adhesion during the formation of complex multicellular structures that are resistant to freezing temperatures.

d. Choanoflagellates use adhesion molecules to help capture bacterial prey.

e. Choanoflagellates are parasites and use cadherins to attach to host organisms.

Heat Transfer discussion based question
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Thermal energy flows from a warmer material to a cooler material.  When thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases. There are three ways heat is transferred into and through the atmosphere: Radiation, conduction and convection.

Radiation is when energy, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, is emitted by a heated surface in all directions and travels directly to its point of absorption at the speed of light; thermal radiation does not require an intervening medium to carry it. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules. Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it.

dlinn [17]

The oak tree fungal pathogen, Phytophthora ramorum, has migrated 800 kilometers in 15 years. West Nile virus spread from New York State to 46 other states in 5 years. The difference in the rate of spread is probably related to the mobility of their hosts

<h3>What is West Nile virus ?</h3>

West Nile fever is brought on by the single-stranded RNA virus known as the West Nile virus (WNV). It belongs to the same genus as the Zika virus, dengue virus, and yellow fever virus, Flavivirus, and is a member of the family Flaviviridae. Mosquitoes, primarily Culex species, are the main vectors of the virus. Since birds are the major hosts for WNV, the virus continues to spread via a "bird-mosquito-bird" cycle. The virus shares genetic ancestry with the family of viruses that cause Japanese encephalitis.

The virus causes disease symptoms in both humans and horses, and symptoms are hardly seen in other animals. In Uganda, the human sickness was first recognized in 1937, and in the second half of the 20th century, it spread to many other countries.

You want to test whether duration of light exposure affects fish reproduction. What would be your control group and experimental
Triss [41]

Answer and Explanation:

During an experiment, data from an experimental group are compared with the data of a control group. These two sets are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals. This variable keeps constant in the control group.

The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable.  There can be several experimental groups.

In the control group, the variable measured keeps constant, not influencing the results. This isolates the effect of the independent variable on the experiment and helps to find alternative explanations to the different results.

In the exposed example:

  • Control group: Certain amounts of fishes exposed to a normal number of light hours per day. For example, if under natural conditions in its original environment the species is exposed to 12 hour light, then the control group should be exposed constantly to 12 hours light a day to maintain its normal reproductive levels.
  • Experimental group: Certain amounts of fishes, equal to the control group, exposed to a different number of light hours per day. For example, there might be 5 experimental groups: one of them exposed to 4 hours light, a second group exposed to 8 hours light, the third group exposed to 12 hours light (The same as the control group), the fourth group exposed to 16 hours light, and the fifth group exposed to 20 hours light.

Except for light, the rest of the variables should be the same for all the groups.
