Protists and Supergroups

Diatoms – SAR - Stramenopila

Foraminiferans – SAR - Rhizaria

Plasmodial slime molds - Unikonta - Amoebazoans

Trichomonas vaginalis - Excavata - Parabasalids

Giardia intestinalis - Excavata - Diplomonads

Dinoflagellates - SAR - Alveolata

Green algae - Archaeplastida- Chlorophytes

Brown algae - SAR-Stramenopila

Explanation:

Protists are the simplest eukaryotes. Due to their vast diversity of species, they are broadly divided into four supergroups or the clades. They are the Archaeplastida, Excavata, SAR clade, and Unikonta.

Archaeplastida: Interrelated with DNA sequence, cell structure, and endosymbiotic relationships. Divided into red algae, chlorophytes, charophyceans, and the plants. Eg, red algae, green algae, plants.

Excavata: Protists with cytoskeletal features like excavated grooves. This clade includes diplomonads, parabasalids, euglenozoans. Eg., Trichomonas and Giardia species

SAR: Protists interrelated with their DNA sequences and endosymbiotic relationships. Further divided into alveolata, stramenopila, and rhizaria. Eg., diatoms, dinoflagellates

Unikonta: Protists with flagella like structures, pseudopodia, genes fused together. Divided into amoebozoans and opisthokonts. These include slime molds, fungi, entamoebas, animals etc.

Answer:

This protein doesn't have a secondary structure (i.e., alpha helices or beta sheets), thereby it interacts with the specific molecule trough its loops

Explanation:

Protein loops may interact with diverse molecules including nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), proteins, signal molecules, etc. These protein sequences (loops) interact with both polar and non-polar head groups

The only way to send information back and forth is to use radio waves. Just like a radio station broadcasts a signal which you can listen to using a radio, astronauts and people on Earth can broadcast information back and forth to each other.
Radio waves are transverse waves.

Earlobes can be either attached or detached. The allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e), and the allele for detached earl

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Option B, He has a homozygous genotype

Explanation:

A dominant allele is one which will overshadow the expression of recessive allele. Thus, when a dominant allele and recessive allele appears together in the genotype of offspring , only the trait associated with the dominant allele is expressed. Therefore , if a recessive allele trait is to be expressed , the offspring must have both the recessive allele

Let us see case here

A. Allele for attached earlobes is recessive (e)

B. Allele for detached earlobes is dominant (E)

If offspring has EE genotype, then he/she would have detached earlobes

If offspring has Ee genotype, then also he/she would have detached earlobes as in heterogyzous genotype traits of dominant alleles are expressed.

If offspring has ee genotype, then only he/she would have attached earlobes

Genotype ee is a homozygous recessive genotype
