Chapter 42.1, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason why natural selection favor aphids that alternate between asexual and sexual reproduction at different seasons of the year.
Introduction:
Aphids are the tiny sap-sucking insects belong to the superfamily Aphidoidea. These are distributed worldwide, but are commonly found in the temperate region. They have soft bodies which may be black, green, pink and brown in color. They can be alternate between asexual and sexual mode of reproduction within the same host at different seasons of the year.

Students have asked these similar questions
After plasmogamy has occurred, many molds (Mucoromycetes) exist in a heterokaryotic stage for up to centuries at a time. What occurs at the immediate end of this stage?
The nuclei fuse in a process called karyogamy.
The hyphae fuse in a process called karyogamy.
Diploid spores are produced in various spore-producing structures.
A haploid zygote is formed that becomes multicellular through repeated rounds of mitosis.
In embryophytes, especially spermatophya, what is the difference between a "sporocyte" (e.g., megasporocyte) and the actual spore (e.g., megaspore)?
a) Meiosis: Megasporocyte is still diploid, megaspore haploid
b) Mitosis, number of nuclei: Megaspore has eight cell nuclei, megasporocyte only one
c) Cytokinesis: Megasporocyte has only one cell, Megaspore can have several (as endosporic gametophyte).
d) None: the two terms are synonymous.
e) Meiosis: Megaspore is still diploid, megasporocyte haploid
Differentiate between Phylum Porifera and Clade Eumetazoa.
A)Poriferans are only haploid during their life cycle, whereas eumetazoans are diploid with haploid sex cells at various stages of their life cycle.
B)Poriferans have mobile gametes while eumetazoans do not.
C)Poriferans invert during their development whereas eumetazoans do not invert at any time during their life cycle.
D)The various cells types of Poriferans do not form permanent associations into true tissues during their life cycle, whereas Eumetazoa possess true, stable tissues.
E)Poriferans have only one kind of cell during their life cycle whereas Eumetazoa have many kinds of cells throughout their life cycle.

- What is direct development? Is there a larval stage in planarias?arrow_forwardWhich statement about life cycles with a dikaryon stage is false? A zygosporangium results from the fusion of two coenocytic hyphae. In effect, the dikaryon is neither diploid nor haploid. Dikaryotic hyphae often have characteristics that are different from those of their n or 2n products. The only true diploid structure is the zygote. There are no gamete cells, only gamete nuclei.arrow_forwardWhat are some possible functions of spicules and spongin? How are these sponge parts alike and different?
