Suppose that, among related host species that carry related symbionts, the relationship is mutualistic in some pairs and parasit

ic in others. How would you determine (a) which relationship is mutualistic and which is parasitic (0.5 pt), (b) what the direction of evolutionary change has been (1 pt), and (c) whether the change from one to the other kind of interaction has been a result of evolutionary change in the symbiont, in the host, or both (1 pt)? (Hint: for (b) and (c), think phylogenies!)

Answer & Explanation:

a) a) Mutualistic relationship differs from parasitism because the first one benefits both of the involved organisms. Otherwise, parasitism benefits only one of the organisms and it can harm the host. Therefore, the parasite would have to be smaller than the host and it would be somehow extracting energy from the host.

b) The direction of evolutionary changes would follow some kind of pattern, like coevolution. Therefore, analyzing the phylogenies individually and then contrasting them, would help to understand how the host, as well as the parasite, have been evolving.

c) The phylogeny would also help to understand what changed first, or if they changed together as a result of coevolution.

A cross between a red flower and a white flower produces red and white spotted flowers. Which type of inheritance pattern is ind
Nutka1998 [239]
The correct answer is codominance.

Codominance is when the alleles of a gene, in a heterozygote organism, are not fully expressed. In this case, either red or white fully dominates but they still manifest that they are present in the flower.
Do not get confused with incomplete dominance because that would result in a pink flower.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Water will move into the beaker.

Explanation:

Only water can move between the bags. The water and the NaCl naturally want to reach equilibrium, so since the side with 80% NaCl is more concentrated, the water will move there to make it less concentrated. Both inside the back and in the beaker will reach 75% NaCl.
