Chapter 28.4, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To suggest: The reason why the green algal lineage species colonize the land more likely than the red algal lineage.
Concept introduction: Red algae is the closest algal relative that has a phycoerythrin (photosynthetic pigment), which is reddish in colour and is mostly multicellular organism. Green algae possess the grass-green chloroplasts. They are similar in the pigment composition and structure as in the chloroplasts of plants.

Wolbachia can make mosquitoes resistant to infection by Plasmodium; researchersare seeking a strain that confers resistance and does notharm mosquitoes.
