Answer:
Explanation:
The true statements are:
-The termite benefits from the relationship by receiving food from the protozoan
-The protozoan benefits from the relationship by receiving shelter and food from the termite
The second statement is obvious. The protozoan lives in the termite, eating what the termite eats and enjoying the shelter the termite provides. The first statement is also true, but poorly worded. the termite does not actually receive food from the protozoan. The protozoan only helps to digest the food that the termite has already consumed.
Answer:
The lids of the Petri dishes were inadvertently left on while being sterilized
Explanation:
- The process of eliminating any microbe from a particular object to achieve a sterile aseptic environment is termed as sterilization.
- Sterilization mainly aims to either remove, kill or make any microbe inactive by using various means such as irradiation, heat, pressure, etc.
- In the given question radiation is used to sterilize the Petri dishes and thus, if sterilization is successful there should not be any contamination.
- However, since there is contamination present amongst the bacterial colonies growing on agar plated in the Petri dishes this shows that the sterilization has not been done successfully and a possible reason for this could be that while sterilizing the<em> lids of the Petri dishes were kept on. </em>
Answer: Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.
New Zealand mud snails reproduce through asexual and sexual modes of reproduction. Asexual reproduction allows these organisms to reproduce more number of offsprings. Asexual reproduction advantageous as these organisms faces natural disaster conditions like tide, drought results in the decrease in the population. Therefore, does not get mate to undergo sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in these snails results in genetic variation in offsprings. Sexual reproduction results in increase in mutation rate in the genetic material being passed to offsprings because of resorting of genetic material being distributed from parent to offspring. This will result in genetic variations. Hence, parent will be different from offsprings. In asexual reproduction offsprings are the clones of parents as there is no resorting of genetic material takes place.
