Answer:
C. causes cell lysis
Explanation:
The slow release of the bacteriophage progeny from a bacterial host cell causes bacterial cell lysis and further kills the host cell which is the bacteria, this results to the liberation of progeny viruses which then infect new bacterial cells.
Only a type of bacteriophage called the filamentous bacteriophage reproduces without killing the bacterial host cell. The filamentous phages infect majorly gram negative bacteria.
The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.
Which of the following statements about natural selection is true? A. Natural selection favors individuals that reproduce more than others. B. Natural selection occurs in opposition to evolution. C. Natural selection can be used by farmers to generate organisms with desirable traits.
Answer:
Species separated by a physical barrier for a long time, suffer allopatric speciation, so they can not interbreed anymore.
Explanation:
Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background giving place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flow, as the two new populations that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.
Vicariance is the geographical separation of an original population into two or more new groups. Discontinuities in the physical environment like rivers, mountains, water, etc., are physical barriers that impede genetic flow between the separated groups.
The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps:
- The emergence of the barrier.
- Interruption in the genetic interchange
- The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
- Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.
- Prezigotic isolation mechanisms favored by selection once occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.
Answer:
Answers 1, 2, and 4
Explanation:
3 is incorrect because every organism is made of cells, not just unicellular organisms. these organisms do, however, have one cell that carries out all functions for the organism.
5 is incorrect because plants are multicellular organisms and thus have more than one cell.
