The random change in the frequency of a gene is
|
Genetic drift
|
Two ways bacteria cause disease is by using the cells of the organism they infect as food and by
|
Releasing toxins
|
What is the correct sequence of structures in the asexual reproduction of a water mold?
|
Hyphae, zoosporangia, flagellated spores, hyphae, new organism
|
In sexual reproduction of the watermold, the hyphae form two structures, called the antheridium and the oogonium. These strucutures produce male and female nuclei, which then
|
Fuse to form a zygote
|
Which protozoan's sexual reproduction is described below? Meiosis produces gametes. Then gametes from two organisms fuse to form a new organism with a new combination of genetic material.
|
Zooflagellates
|
Genetic drift is most likely to affect a population that is
|
Small
|
In a prokaryote cell
|
genetic material is not contained in a nucleus.
|
The presence of a nuclear membrane, photosynthetic capability, and a multicellular for can be characteristics of members of which kingdom(s)? I. Animalia II. Protista III. Plantae
|
III only
|
In eukaryotic cells, chromatic is found in the
|
nucleus.
|
Plantlike protists that have pectin in their cell walls and gold-colored chloroplasts, and store food as oil rather than as starch, are called
|
chrysophytes.
|
In a ciliate, such as a paramecium, what are trichocysts used for?
|
defense
|
Unlike true fungi, funguslike protists:
|
have centrioles but lack chitin walls
|
Why are viruses considered parasites?
|
They destroy the cells in which they multiply
|
When a mosquito carrying the sporozoan Plasmodium bites a human, Plasmodium sprozoites enter the bloodstream and infect liver and red blood cells and multiply. The infected cells burst, releasing parasites into the blood stream. This process causes the disease:
|
malaria
|
Fossil evidence for evolution shows that:
|
more complex organisms appeared later
