Answer:
B.
The flagellates and termites share an obligate mutualistic association
Explanation:
Organisms of same or different species tend to interact with one another in an ecosystem. The close interaction between two organisms is referred to as SYMBIOSIS. A type of symbiotic relationship is MUTUALISM, which is when both organisms benefits from the relationship.
However, mutualistic relationship can be of different types depending on how dependent the involved organisms are on each other. The example in this question illustrates OBLIGATE MUTUALISM, which is when the organisms involved in the mutualistic relationship depend on one another for survival. This is the case of the termites and the flaggelates where the termite depends on the flaggelate for enzymes that helps them digest cellulose while the flaggelates depend on termite for nourishment/food.
The termite will not survive if it doesn't get enzymes to digest its cellulose while the flaggelates will also not survive if they do not get nourished. Hence, the two organisms share an OBLIGATE MUTUALISTIC RELATIONSHIP.
Answer:
The correct answer would be group D- 809 kg.
It can be explained with the help of pyramid of biomass.
Pyramid of biomass represents biomass or the amount of organic or living matter present at each trophic level in an ecosystem.
The amount of organic matter is usually expressed in grams per meter square (g/m²).
There are usually four trophic levels in the pyramid of biomass: primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
Usually, the biomass decreases as we go up the trophical levels specially in terrestrial ecosystem. Inverted pyramid can be observed in case of aquatic ecosystem (biomass of phytoplanktons is less than that of herbivores).
Here, maximum biomass (809 kg) belongs to the group D and hence, it would belong to primary producers.
Answer:
The genes are linked, and the arrangement is coupled (one homolog has both dominant alleles; the other homolog has both recessive alleles).
RY
/
ry
Explanation:
R_= colored aleurone
rr= colorless aeurone
Y_= green plant
yy= yellow plant
They do a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits (yr/yr) the following F1 is obtained:
- 88 Colored, green (RY/ry)
- 92 colorless, yellow (ry/ry)
- 8 colorless, green (rY/ry)
- 12 colored, yellow (Ry/ry)
If the genes assorted independently, all of the possible offspring phenotypes would appear in the same frequency. However, they obtained 2 phenotypes much more abundant that the other two. Since recombination is a rare event during crossing over, when two genes are linked the recombinant gametes are produced less frequently than the parentals.
We can propose that the phenotypes Colored, green (RY) and colorless yellow (ry) are the parental gametes, and the unknown plant has the arrangement RY/ry, with both genes linked.
This is false
hope that helps!
To give a direct answer, I’d have to know what gene we were looking at. However, in a general sense, when a genotype has two capital letters, it means that it’s homozygous dominant. Take for example:
R= tall stalk
r= short stalk
The uppercase R is a dominant allele, which means if the plant has the gene with this in it (RR or Rr) then it will have that trait. If it has two lowercase letters (rr) then it will be the recessive trait.
Using this example, RR would be the tall stalk. For whatever your question is, the dominant phenotype would be the answer.
