In an experiment investigating the effects of gut bacteria on weight gain/loss in mice, gut bacteria from obese humans were given to one group of mice. A second group of mice were given gut bacteria from lean humans. The mice who received gut bacteria from the obese people gained more weight even though they didn't eat more than the mice who received germs from the lean individuals. What is the observation for the example above? Select the best answer. Obese humans have different bacteria than lean humans. If gut bacteria affect weight then the mice given lean human's bacteria will lose weight. Does the gut bacterial community cause changes in weight? The gut bacterial community can cause changes in weight.arrow_forwardSelect only the true statements about soil bacteriophages ahead: -Phages help on increasing soil biodiversity -Phages are nnonself replicating living infectious agents -Phages prevents low-generation-time- species from becoming dominant - Phages can infect protozoa -Phages are important in bacteria lateral gene transferarrow_forward

These results provide further evidence for the effects of habitat size on the phorid-Acromyrmex system in a tropical rain forest, based on the abundance of parasitoids both as adults in the field and as reared immature phorids in the laboratory. Phorid parasitized leafcutter ants were most abundant in areas of continuous forest, and less abundant in the forest fragments. O Phorid flies are important parasitoids of leafcutter ants nd leafcutter ants can be found in Brazil's Southeastern Both phorid flies Atlantic Forest. The study provides evidence that this parasitoid-host interaction between phorid flies and leafcutter ant differs between continuous forest and forest fragments. Phorid flies were just as abundant in forest fragments as they were in continuous forest, but were less successful in parasitizing leafcutter ants.arrow_forwardCan somone help me to answer 2 question after watching a video, Thank you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M18HxXve3CM 1)What is one interesting or surprising thing you learned from the video you watched? 2)It’s unlikely that you personally hunt wolves or whales, and equally unlikely that you are responsible for importing rabbits and foxes to Australia as shown in these videos.
