The correct answer is A) A host is killed slowly by its predator while a prey is killed instantly.

Prey-predator is a non-specific relationship between individuals of different populations. In this relationship prey is killed outright. Example, a tiger kills a deer. But in parasite-host relationship is specific. Example, mosquitoes feed on human blood. The parasitism differs from predation in that the host are seldom killed instantly but may live on for some times.

Help Asap. i also need explanations to go with the answer
nlexa [21]

Answer:

D. In an ocean heated by volcanic activity

Explanation:

Most of Earth was covered in water, early organisms weren't evolved enough to walk on land at the time. There are some organisms that feed off of volcanic activity and use it as an energy resource and would adapt to the heat.

<em>"Hot spots create volcanoes on the seafloor. If these volcanoes rise above sea level to become islands, and if they occur in tropical waters, coral reefs will form on them. Since the volcanoes are cones, the reef forms in a circle around the volcano."</em>

<em>-</em><u>https://courses.lumenlearning.com/earthscience/chapter/ocean-organisms/</u>

<em>"Discovered only in 1977, hydrothermal vents are home to dozens of previously unknown species. Huge red-tipped tube worms, ghostly fish, strange shrimp with eyes on their backs and other unique species thrive in these extreme deep ocean ecosystems found near undersea volcanic chains."</em>

What type of mutation has occurred in the dna of people with sickle cell anemia? (look back, if you need to, to see what causes
strojnjashka [21]
People with two copies of the sickle cell gene have the disease. People who carry only one copy of the sickle cell gene do not have the disease, but may pass the gene on to their children. Abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, causes sickle cell disease (SCD). The problem in hemoglobin S is caused by a small defect in the gene that directs the production of the beta globin part of hemoglobin. This small defect in the beta globin gene causes a problem in the beta globin part of hemoglobin, changing the way that hemoglobin works.
