Why can't prokaryotic species be defined as a group of similar organisms that could sexually reproduce together?

Biology
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The prokaryote divides by asexual mode of reproduction.

Explanation:

The concept of species which defines a species as a group of individuals of a population which can interbred and produce a fertile progeny is applicable to the organism which can reproduce sexually.

Since the bacteria divide through asexual means and not through sexual ways therefore the concept of defining a species becomes complicated and does not apply.However the concept of species in prokaryotes is still a topic of research.  

Thus, the biological concept of species is not applicable to prokaryotes.

7.   Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Hi!

The correct answer would be A.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

As the allele P for polka dot is dominant to the allele p for solid color, it would yield a Polka dot tail in the individual in the presence of just one allele of P, while masking the effect of p for solid color.

So the possible genotypes and phenotypes would be as follows:

  1. PP (Polka dot tail)
  2. Pp (Polka dot tail)
  3. pP (Polka dot tail)
  4. pp (Solid color tail)

Following a cross by two heterozygous individuals, there would be 25 percent chance (1/4) of having the genotype pp , 25 percent (1/4) chance of having the genotype PP and 50 percent (2/4) chance of having the genotype Pp.

But the phenotype yielded by Pp and PP offspring would be polka dots, so there is a 75 percent (3/4) chance of having polka dot offspring, and 25 percent chance of having solid colored tail offspring.

<h3>Hope this helps!</h3>

Plantae: Autotrophic, Multi- or Monocellular, have cell walls as well as a membrane, have a chloroplast making the characteristic green color and to capture sunlight for photosynthesis. Break down generated glucose into it's components.

Animalia: Heterotrophic, Multi- or Monocellular, have a cell membrane made of a phospholipid bilayer, and many mitochondria to aid with movement energy. Feed on plants or other animals. Eukaryotic cells.

Fungi: Heterotrophic, most Multicellular, have a rigid cell wall made of chitin, specialized cells to aid with decomposition of dead organic matter. Eukaryotic cells.

Protista: Can be plant-like, animal-like, or fungus-like. Most are single-celled, may be chemosynthetic or photosynthetic. Eukaryotic cells.

Archeabacteria: Prokaryotic. Do not have nuclei or membrane-bound organelles. Move around using a flagellum to propel itself. Lives in mainly fluid environments (air, water). Separated from Eubacteria due to it's high tolerance of extreme conditions, such as high salinity, no oxygen, burning heat, or freezing cold. Can be chemosynthetic or anaerobic, as well as aerobic.

Eubacteria: Normal, everyday bacteria. Prokaryotic, chemosynthetic, anaerobic, or aerobic. Do not have nuclei or membrane-bound organelles. Mobile using a flagellum to propel itself.
