Virus: an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
Bacteria: a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some which can cause disease.
Fungi/fungus: any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.
Protozoa: a phylum or group of phyla that comprises the single-celled microscopic animals, which include amoebas, flagellates, ciliates, sporozoans, and many other forms. They are now usually treated as a number of phyla belonging to the kingdom Protista.

Answer:

1.) stromatolites

2.) photosynthesis

3.) Ordovician

4.) Cambrian

5.) oxygen

6.) As Earth cooled, carbon dioxide dissolved in the early ocean. Cyanobacteria consumed carbon dioxide and converted it to oxygen. Methane was removed from the atmosphere as oxygen was produced, eventually leading to the Cambrian Explosion.

7.) Metabolic processes that use oxygen produce more energy than anaerobic metabolism. Simple diffusion of oxygen would limit the size of a multicellular eukaryote, but animals evolved ways to transport oxygen to their tissues, which permitted an increase in size.

1 is C - see first attachment. Genotypes with Y's represent males, and big R represents red eyes, while little r represents white eyes. For example XRxr is a heterozygous (red-eyed) female, and XrYr is a homozygous white-eyed male.

2 is B because the absence of functional proteins and some ribosomes due to the mRNA strand is not as detrimental as the loss of the entire cell.

3 is B. (The insertion of 3 base pairs into a genetic sequence is the length of a single codon, meaning that only one amino acid in the entire polypeptide was added)
