Answer:

The induction of galls in plants represented both morphological and physiological modifications of plant organs and tissues caused by endophage insects.

In the case of wasps, the relationship they have is of parasitic coexistence, therefore the gills become smaller.

 On the other hand, with birds the relationship is different since sometimes they usually feed on gills, their size is larger.

As for beetles, the size is intermediate.

Explanation:

The natural selection and the environment of the gills is what makes the size of said living being, this theory can be explained by means of the principles that Darwin proposed with the evolutionary theory.

Answer:

a. Modes of selection exerted by wasps: <u>directional (positive) and stabilizing</u>

If the galls are small in size, wasps are able to penetrate through and easily feed off of it. Hence, an average or large gall size of Eurosta is more likely to survive. 

b. Modes of selection exerted by birds: <u>directional (negative) and stabilizing</u>

Birds will get attracted to large sized galls. Hence, the average and smaller sized galls of Eurosta are more likely to survive 

c. Mode of selection exerted by beetles: <u>disruptive</u>

Beetles favor feeding on the average sized galls of Eurosta. Hence, the two extreme sizes - small and large galls of Eurosta - are more likely to survive. This will give two peaks if allele frequencies are plotted on a graph.

Describe the Cell Cycle [Interphase, G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase]<br> describe them all please :)
Svet_ta [14]

<em>G1, S and G2 phases are all cumulatively referred to as interphase involving the growth of a cell and the replication of its DNA. Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents. The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells. The S phase only begins when the cell has passed the G1 checkpoint and has grown enough to contain double the DNA. S phase is halted by a protein called p16 until this happens.</em>

Can small trees contribute oxygen?
il63 [147K]
Yes, because even though other trees produce more oxygen, the small trees will still produce some oxygen. On top of this there are more small trees than big trees, so even though they make less oxygen, in whole they end up making more when added together!

Environmental influences begin at birth and continue throughout life. please select the best answer from the choices provided t
katrin2010 [14]

The statement environmental influences begin at birth and continue throughout life is definitely False.  

<h3>What do you mean by Environment?</h3>

Anything which is present in the surrounding of an organism is called its environment. The environment is surrounded by abiotic and biotic factors.

Environmental influences will not remain the same throughout life. If a human is affected by a natural disease, it will definitely be cured with medications. Environmental influences sometimes behave as genetic diseases, which stay long or sometimes endless.

Therefore, the statement environmental influences begin at birth and continue throughout life is definitely False.
