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.

The answer is F, false. Natural selection is still involved, with stronger and more procreative individuals spreading their genes. An example of when natural selection is not involved would be when human breeders look for specific traits and breed accordingly.

Which organelle modifies cell products, packages them for distribution, and then may turn into vesicles and bubble off the surfa
timofeeve [1]
<span>The correct answer is C. The Golgi apparatus. This is the packaging center of the cell. It is responsible for receiving cell products and transporting them within vesicles either within the cell or to surrounding cells. Lysosomes are the trash collectors of the cell, responsible for processing wiaste. The cell membrane makes up the cell's enclosure and selectively allows material into and out of the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes and is responsible for assisting in protein production.</span>
