An organism has the following characteristics: • This organism has two multicellular forms, one haploid and one diploid This organism does not have any vascular tissue • The cells from this organism generally cannot move unless they are carried by wind or wate This set of characteristics is consistent with: An animal A fern A moss A tree that produces flowers

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INFORMATION The continuityof life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA.In a short essay (100–150 words), explain how the process ofmitosis faithfully parcels out exact copies of this heritableinformation in the production of genetically identicaldaughter cells.
Which of the following organisms cannot undergo budding? a.)yeast b.)bacterium c.)hydra d.)sponge
Volvox carteri, an volvocine alga, has approximately 2000 somatic cells and only 16 reproductive or germ line cells. The observation that multicellular individuals, like Volvox, have a much smaller subset of germ line cells compared to somatic cells appears to be general rule. Which of the following is the best evolutionary explanation for why this is the case? A) Organisms can biologically only contain a small number of germ line cells as they are always larger than somatic cells. B) Multicellular individuals with a germ line vs. somatic cell line differentiation only evolved a single time, thus all members of this lineage share the same scheme of more soma cells with a much smaller subset of germ line cells. C) Having a smaller subset of reproductive cells helps reduce the likelihood of cheating from evolving, which in turns prevents the collapse of the multicellular individual system. D) None of the above.
A scientist has discovered a new species and is tasked with identifying which of the kingdoms of life the organism might fit. Multicellular with nuclei Presence of a cell wall containing chitin Heterotrophic Non-motile Question options: Fungi Protista Plantae Animalia Protists are a group of organisms that are eukaryotic. However, they are a diverse group, with some of the members of the group having a more recent common ancestor with plants while others have a more recent common ancestor with animals. Algae are protists that are more closely related to plants than any other group. Which characteristics would algae share with plants but NOT with animals? Question options: DNA Ribosomes Chloroplasts Mitochondria
Which of the following is not true concerning the mitochondria and chloroplasts and is not evidence in support of the Endosymbiotic Theory? Both divide independently of the eukaryotic cell they are within Both contain their own DNA in a single, circular chromosome Both can survive independently when removed from a eukaryotic cell Both are about the same size as a bacteria
Some aspects of eukaryotes are more similar to archae while other aspects of eukaryotic cell composition appear closely related to bacteria. Explain how endosymbiosis could resolve this paradox.
The evolutionary history of a species or group of species is known as its ____________________ and is usually shown as a branching diagram.
In 2016, scientists published the genome of Monocercomonoides, and demonstrated that this organism has no detectable mitochondrial genes. However, its genome was arranged in linear chromosomes wrapped around histones which are contained within the nucleus.Monocercomonoides is therefore a(n) _________. a. Bacteria b. Archea c. Eukaryote d. Endosymbiont
A. Classify the organisms (A-D) based on their oxygen requirements. Name one location where you are most likely to encounter these organisms (1 location/organism).B. Organism C could not grow in the presence of oxygen. Explain the molecular reason behind this observation (What affect did oxygen have on C that caused it not grow)? C. Your friend repeats the above experiment in Question1 and observes growth of all 4 organisms on both plates. Provide an explanation for her results. (You may assume that your results are correct, since you have repeated the experiment several times and gotten the same results).
Should seeds,viruses and frozen embryos be considered alive? Justify your opinion Keep in mind that all living organisms on this planet are characterized by the following 8 characteristics. They require liquid water, are made of common based molecules, cycle energy, respond to stimuli, evolve, maintain homeostasis reproduce and contain genetic material
The theory endosymbiosis is important in understanding how mitochondria and eukaryotic cells may have evolved.what structure is central to the concept of endosymbiosis
Carefully observe the cell morphology of the two organisms below. Then, draw the cell morphology. Cells should be drawn large enough so that you can show an accurate shape and arrangement. Your drawing should capture the relative length and width of the cells. There should be no pointy corners, no open circles, no extra “tails” and no overlapping rings. Specify cell morphology and if the organism a) Escherichia coli or b) Staphylococcus aureus
