Answer: The correct option is D(Some produce toxic agents in the water).

Explanation:

Dinoflagellates are found in the phylum Dinoflagellata which are single celled organisms. They are mostly found in the ocean while few of them can live in streams, freshwater ponds and rivers. The following characteristics can be used to identify a Dinoflagellates, these include:

--> they are golden brown

--> they possess assimilative cell with indented waist.

--> they possess large nucleus with visible chromosomes.

It has been reported that many dinoflagellate species can produce various natural toxins. These toxins can be extremely toxic and many of them are effective at far lower dosages than conventional chemical agents. Therefore the option, Some produce toxic agents in the water, is a correct statement.

How might an RNA-based genome result in an increased infection rate? What are some potential complications to this infection str
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

I think the question is "How might an RNA-based genome results display an increased in infection rate?" because current statement doesn't convey a message clearly.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to understand first that what is gene expression. Gene expression is a process in which genetic information is transcribed first to RNA and then into proteins. During transcription stage, only active genes would be transcribed to RNA and all other DNA material don't transcribe at all. Now, if there is an infection, host cell would express only those genes which would actively take part in the defense mechanism, e.g. R-genes, genes involved in production of reactive oxygen species, etc. Hence, to monitor the infection rate, we will look at the RNA-based genome. To do this, we will extract the total RNA and then would sequence it. Then we will annotate the genes and check the relative abundance (differential expression). Finally, we would have a clear that these genes were active against the infection. By doing temporal sampling and sequencing, we would be able to measure the rate as well.

For the second part, potential complications that could arise in doing analysis is the lower amount of RNA, or rapid degradation of RNA in case of presence of RNAses. RNA can be degraded easily at room temperature.

MrRa [10]
Reproductive cloning, researchers remove a mature somatic cell, such as a skin cell, from an animal that they wish to copy. They then transfer the DNA of the donor animal's somatic cell into an egg cell, or oocyte, that has had its own DNA-containing nucleus removed.

Which of the following is the best explanation of the physiological reaction to the length of daylight hours often referred to a
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A. Plants will only flower during long day periods when the day length exceeds their necessary photoperiod

Explanation:

Photoperiodism is a phenomenon that refers to the response of an organism to the length of day. This phenomenon causes a physiological change in the organisms involved (plants or animals). However, the best studied example of change caused by photoperiodism is that of FLOWERING IN PLANTS.

Different plants flower at different times in response to the day length. Certain plants called LONG DAY PLANTS e.g. spinach and potato etc only flower when the length of day exceeds their photoperiod (threshold), which is usually 12 hours. These plants require very short periods of darkness to flower.

Hence, according to the question, FLOWERING response in plants is the best explanation to describe photoperiodism.
