A scientist does a study in which she manipulates the presence of a microbe that lives in plant roots. When a particular microbe

is present, the plants grow more vigorously and have higher fitness. Based on these results alone, can the researcher conclude that this is a mutualism between the plant and the microbe?

Answer: No

Explanation:

Mutualism is a kind of symbiotic relationship when two species lives in close association with each other to complete their life cycle. In this relationship both the species receives the benefit of association.

The given situation is not an example of mutualism this is because of the fact that in the association with the microbes the plants are more fit but the situation does not describe the fact that the microbe is also getting any benefit of association.

How are the 3 stages of cell division similar to how new animals are created?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Cell divison is defined as the process in which a parent cell split into two or more daughter cells. There are three stages of cell division that includes interphase, mitosis/meiosis and cytokinesis.

In the interphase the proteins, enzymes and cell organelles are formed and at the end of this phase single strand chromosome becomes a double strand carrying genes.

In the meiosis (in sexual reproduction) or mitosis (asexual reproduction) phase, divison of nucleus takes place. Meiosis gives rise to geneticaly different cells due to crossing over while mitosis leads to  identical cells .

Cytokinesis occurs cocurrently after meiosis or mitosis in which cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells each with identical chromatin.

Creation of new animals are also undergo these 3 stages of cell division that is interphase, meiosis (eukaryotes)/mitosis (prokaryotes) and cytokinesis. Majority of animals (eukaryotes) undergo meiosis phase because their mode of reproduction sexual and have genetic variation due to crossing over of chromosomes and produces 4 daughter cells at the end cell division.

Hence, the 3 stages of cell division is similar to craetion of new animals.

Which of the following statements is true of offspring from organisms that reproduce asexually?
Veronika [31]
A) the offspring are genetically identical to the parent. 
The reason for this is that there are no different traits being passed down that could alter the offspring's appearance. If there is sexual reproduction, then the offspring shares both of the parent's traits. If there is only one parent, then there is less diversity. <span />
