Answer: Confirmation bias

Explanation:

The confirmation bias is the ability or tendency of the person to favor, interpret and believe a information based on the previous knowledge and personal believes or based on the assumptions. This is a kind of cognitive bias.

The given situation is an example of confirmation bias this is because of the fact that it is based on presumption rather than understanding based on the facts. Boris being unfamiliar with the concepts of the theory is not able to believe that the theory is true.

In figure 28-7, what information indicates that meiosis takes place during the jellyfish's reproductive cycle?
omeli [17]
By using the legend below the diagram, you can assume that Phase 1 indicates that meiosis has occurred because of the color of the arrow. The dark gray indicates haploid, and haploid is the result of meiosis. Diploid is the result of mitosis. 

Another indication is the presence of sex cells or gametes in Phase 1. Meiosis produces gametes and in phase 1, you can see that egg cells and sperm cells were produced.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

plant: This Elodea leaf cell exemplifies a typical plant cell. It has a nucleus, and a stiff cell wall which gives the cell its box-like shape. The numerous green chloroplasts allow the cell to make its own food (by photosynthesis).

The central vacuole takes up most of the volume of the cell. It is transparent, but you can see where it's pressing the chloroplasts up against the cell wall, especially at the ends of the cell.

Like animal cells, the cytoplasm of this plant cell is bordered by a cell membrane. The membrane is so thin and transparent that you can't see it, but it is pressed against the inside of the cell wall.

animal :This human cheek cell is a good example of a typical animal cell. It has a prominent nucleus and a flexible cell membrane which gives the cell its irregular, soft-looking shape.

Like most eukaryotic cells, this cell is very large compared to prokaryotic cells. For scale, notice the pair of dark blue bacteria cells sticking to the right edge of the cheek cell. The bacteria are only a fraction of the size of the nucleus, but their tiny size is typical for bacteria.
