The phylum Cycliophora are tiny organisms that live in large numbers on the outsides of the mouthparts and appendages of lobster

s. The feeding stage permanently attaches to the lobster via an adhesive disk and collects scraps of food from its host's feeding by capturing the scraps in a current created by a ring of cilia. The body is saclike and has a U-shaped intestine that brings it'sanus close to the mouth. Cycliophorans are coelomates, do not molt (though their host does), and their embryos undergo spiral cleavage. Basing your inferences on information in the paragraph, to which clades should cycliophorans belong?
a.Metazoa and diploblasts
b. Eumetazoa and Lophotrochozoa
c. Deuterostomia and Ecdysozoa
d. Deuterostomia and Lophotrochozoa
e. Bilateria and Echinodermata

Answer:

The answer to the question above is option B (Eumetazoa and Lophotrochozoa)

Explanation:

Cycliophorans exhibit sexual dimorphism, they live on the mouthparts of their lobster hosts using anterior buccal funnel; oval-shaped trunk; and posterior, acellular stalk, with an adhesive disc which they use to attach themselves to their hosts’ mouthparts. Cycliophorans do not feed during free swimming stages and are filter feeders during their sessile stage.

Cycliophorans live on lobsters, they do not generally adversely affect their hosts, although it is possible for large numbers of cycliophorans to clog their host's mouthparts.

Coelom is the fluid-filled cavity within the body of most multicellular animals, except some invertebrates, it acts as a cushion for the internal organs of the organism. Animals which have a space between their digestive tract and body wall and entirely lined by mesoderm are termed as coelomate animals.

Eumetazoans include radially-symmetrical animals and bilaterally-symmetrical animals that have true tissues organized into germ layers, and an embryo that goes through a gastrula stage, and are distinguished by their characteristic epithelia,

The characteristic features of the group lophotrochozoa are, they are animals with  ciliated larval phase, and they have the presence of a trochophore larvae and a feeding structure called lophophore.

Can either a genotype or phenotype be expressed as a percentage?​
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Phenotype

Explanation:

"only four phenotypes result from the six possible ABO genotypes. How does this happen? To understand why this occurs, first note that the A and B alleles code for proteins that exist on the surface of red blood cells; in contrast, the third allele, O, codes for no protein."

why does the presence of 22 large herbivore species at Mpala seem to contradict the competitive exclusion principle Dr. Pringle
stealth61 [152]

Dr. Pringle suggests that there's only very few large herbivorous species that can survive in certain area. The reason behind his claim is that according to him there will be only enough food for few large species, so there's natural limitations in the food sources, as there should be enough to support them in order for them to survive.

On the other hand, in Mpala, there's 22 large herbivorous species, which directly contradicts Dr. Pringle's hypothesis. The reason why so many large species of herbivores an survive in Mpala and always have enough food for all of them, is that they have all specialized in eating certain types of plants or parts of plants, thus they are not direct competition to one another, and there's always enough food for all of them.
