Answer:

B. Sea stars are the prey of seagulls

Explanation:

Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).

Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism

Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey. For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)

Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite. Think of a dog with a tick. The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.

Incorrect answers (and why):

A. Sea stars do not eat seagulls

C. If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls. They do not.

D. A host is an organism that a parasite preys on. Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.

I hope this helps! :)

Which statement is NOT true concerning reproduction? A. Hereditary information is passed on to the next generation. B. The offsp

Fantom [35]

Answer:

D. The offspring of multi-cellular organisms tend to be identical to the parent.

Explanation:

The offspring of multi-cellular organisms which reproduce through sexual mode can never be identical to the parents because of crossing over which is a phenomenon which occurs during meiosis. All the individuals which have sexual dimorphism and reproduce sexually have germ cells in their gonads. Meiosis is a type of cell division which occurs only in germ cells not in somatic cells. During meiosis the genetic material from both the parents is exchanged leading to new combinations of genes as a result of which offspring is neither 100% identical to father nor to the mother. Offspring displays traits which are a combination of both the parents thereby showing variability.
