Which of the following information could be included in the description of a grasshopper’s niche, but not in a description of it
Ivan

The niche of grasshopper would include the plant species it eats.

Explanation:

The niche of an organism is different to that of a habitat. A niche includes the interaction between organisms and the food that they eat, whereas, a habitat is a place where organisms are provided with food, protection and shelter.

Habitat is a place of ecosystem that involves other environmental factors like- rain, sunlight, humidity etc. So, food type eaten by grasshopper would be the description of a niche and not a habitat.

Suppose we were successful in identifying 12 mutants using a screen for identifying conditional mutants of S. cerevisiae in whic
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Each mutant would be mated to wild type and to every other mutant to create diploid strains. The diploids would be assayed for growth at permissive and restrictive temperature. Diploids formed by mating a mutant to a wild type that can grow at restrictive temperatures identify the mutation as recessive. Only recessive mutations can be studied using complementation analysis. Diploids formed by mating two recessive mutants identify mutations in the same gene if the diploid cannot grow at restrictive temperature (non-complementation), and they identify mutations in different genes if the diploids can grow at restrictive temperature (complementation).

Explanation:

Recessive mutations are those whose phenotypic effects are only visible in homo-zygous individuals. Moreover, a complementation test is a genetic technique used to determine if two different mutations associated with a phenotype colocalize in the same <em>locus</em> (i.e., they are alleles of the same gene) or affect two different <em>loci</em>.  In diploid (2n) organisms, this test is performed by crossing two homo-zygous recessive mutants and then observing whether offspring have the wild-type phenotype. When two different recessive mutations localize in different <em>loci</em>, they can be considered as 'complementary' since the heterozygote condition may rescue the function lost in homo-zygous recessive mutants. In consequence, when two recessive mutations are combined in the same genetic background (i.e., in the same individual) and they produce the same phenotype, it is possible to determine that both mutations are alleles of the same gene/<em>locus</em>.

why is it important that biology studies the interactions of organisms with both their environments and other organisms
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Ecology can be described as the branch of biology which is related to the study of the interaction of an organism with other organisms and the environment. This study is important because both biotic and abiotic factors play a vital role in the existence of an organism. Abiotic factors such as soil type, food resources, water resources, amount of sunlight reflect which organisms will be able to live in an area. Biotic factors also influence the life of an organism just as the abiotic factors do.
