5. Imagine that you encounter two color morphs of S. marcescens in natural environment. If you do not have any prior knowledge o

n the prodigiosin synthesis pathway of these Serratia species, will you consider the red and white Serratia colonies as one species or two species? Do you think we should designate species based on morphological traits or genetic differentiation? Without limiting to the S. marcescens experiment, provide evidence and example to support your claim.

Answer:

According to the given question that without prior knowledge on the prodigiosin synthesis pathway of these Serratia species, and we experience two different color morphs of the species. So, there is given or known preliminary morphological basis we will consider them different two different colonies. These can be identify only after genetically identify or study.

The morphological characterstics of the organism and the genetic identification both are equally important. So Giving any one more importance over other is not logical.

Morphologically we can differentiate the color of the colonies of mutants. The mutant serratia sp. are  known for eficient biosynthesis of prodigiosin, Thus on the basis of color characteristics of their colonies when grown on peptone glycerol medium we can identify.

Q2. The answer is <span>C. Gymnosperms.
</span>
The word 'Gymnosperms'<span> is derived from two greek words: 'gymnos' = naked and 'sperm' = seed. Literally, their seeds are naked, i.e. they </span>do not form inside an additional structure. Their seeds develop on the surface of scales modified to form cones. This group of plants <span>include pine trees, cycads, and cedar trees. 


Q3. The answer is </span><span>A. Angiosperms.

Angiosperms or flowering plants are seed-producing plants, just like Gymnosperms. Their seeds</span> form inside additional structures known as fruits. This group is the most diverse group of plants and include nearly 300,000 species. Angiosperms include <span>grasses, roses, maple trees, and many other plants with flowers.


Q4. The answer is </span><span>B. Lichen.

Lichen consists of hyphae (just like other fungi) that surround cells of </span><span>green algae or other photosynthetic organisms. This partnership between fungi and algae is known as mutualistic symbiosis. As in any other mutualistic symbiosis, both partners have benefits: fungi gain nutrients from algae and algae gain protection from fungi.
</span>

Q5. The answer is <span>C. Vertebrate.

Vertebrates are organisms with an</span><span> interior skeleton, or endoskeleton, and a backbone. Unlike vertebrates, invertebrates do not have a backbone or interior skeleton. The basic body plan of vertebrates includes vertebral column and/or notochord, the gastrointestinal tract below the notochord and the spinal cord above the notochord. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
</span>

Q6. The answer is <span>B. Invertebrate.

Invertebrates are organisms without an internal skeleton and backbone. The main difference between vertebrates and invertebrates is that vertebrates have backbone and internal skeleton and invertebrates lack in those structures. Invertebrates</span> include all animals that are not vertebrates and include about 97% of all animals. Some of them are <span>insects, sea anemones, and worms. 


Q7. The answer is </span><span>A. Bilateral Symmetry.

Bilateral symmetry </span><span>is symmetry around a single line. That means that only one plane divides an organism into two matching halves, left and right. Thus, this type of symmetry is also known as left-right symmetry. Word 'bilateral' comes from two Latin words: 'bi-' means 'two' and 'latero' means 'side', literally 'bilateral' = 'two sides'. Human beings are the example of organisms with bilateral symmetry.


Q8. The answer is </span><span>C. Asymmetry
</span>
Asymmetry means without symmetry. The word 'asymmetry' is derived from two Greek words: 'a-' = 'not' and 'symmetros' = symmetry, <span>commensurable. Not all animals are symmetric. There are some species that show asymmetry, such as some sponges and flatfish. 


Q9. The answer is </span><span>B. Radial Symmetry.

A symmetry around any point is radial symmetry. The body of radially symmetric organisms can be divided into equal parts about a central point and they have </span>no left or right side of the body. This type of symmetry is characteristic for sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea anemone, jellyfish, corals.

9966 [12]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) O→ orange, o→ black</em>

Explanation:

A dominant allele can be described as the allele which masks the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele can be described as the allele whose effect gets suppressed by the dominant allele. A dominant allele is written with a capital letter whereas a recessive allele is referred with a small letter.

As the option A shows capital letter, O, for the dominant orange trait and small letter, o , for the recessive black trait hence, it is the correct option.
