Answer:

trocophore larva

Explanation:

The trocophore larva is a marine planktonic larvae. The mollusca, annelida, and nemerteans shows trocophore as larval stage.

The trocophore larva shows similarities with invertebrates group of organisms. This similarities provide evidence that bilateral symmetry organisms evolved from radial symmetry. The larva represents a transitional stage in ctenophore emergence. There are close similarities in trocophore larva and annelid larva (echinoderm). Thus, a close evolutionary relationship between annelids and mollusks is suggested by the presence of a <u>trocophore </u>larva in both phyla as well as by molecular sequence comparisons.

To efficiently provide the ideal amount of nitrogen fertilizer, some farmers make use of a "chlorophyll meter" that measures the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplast in plants. It absorbs sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. It is a chelate molecule. In a chelate molecule a central metal ion forms bonds with a large organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and other elements like nitrogen or oxygen.

In chlorophyll, magnesium is the central metal ion and it is bonded to a large organic molecule called as porphyrin. Porphyrin constitutes four nitrogen atoms to which the central magnesium is bonded in square planar arrangement. Since chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of the leaves, more the green color more the chlorophyll content and more is the nitrogen content. Hence, chlorophyll meter measures this green light and finds out if the plant needs more or less nitrogen.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

Describe the steps in making packaging and exporting a protein from a cell
irina [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The steps in making packaging and exporting a protein from a cell are listed below in the following points:</em>

  • <em>Protein is made from the Ribosomes.</em>
  • <em>These proteins are gathered in the endoplasmic reticulum. </em>
  • <em>From ER the proteins are exported to the Golgi bodies. These Golgi apparatus is found in the vesicles.</em>
  • <em>The Golgi bodies modify the protein to suitable forms that can be absorbed.</em>
  • <em>Finally it is transported to all part of cells in our body.</em>

The diagram is a representation of part of a plant cell. Identify the locations where proton concentration builds up during phot
oksian1 [2.3K]

The process of cellular respiration is achieved in plants by the process of photosynthesis. The energy from glucose is derived in this process. The steps of the cellular respiration includes the glycolysis, the kreb's cycle, and the oxidative phosphorylation. During this process, the proton concentration builds in the thylakoid space of the plant cell.

A scientist has discovered a new organism and wishes to classify it based on morphology and genetics. While he is waiting on the
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

tentatively group it with birds and speculate that the trait shared only with bats is a derived rather than an ancestral trait with bats.

Explanation:

The scientist after his observation should tentatively classify this organism with birds and the the second end of calculating the other morphological traits which makes it possess the likely bat traits to be ancestral.

According to scientists, most widely used modern systematic practice

depends upon the assumption that a change from character in one species

to character occurs once and once only in the evolutionary process and that this process is irreversible so that it never returns.

In this scheme, there are no independently derived parallel evolutionary changes,

nor convergences from a variety of states to a single one. Therefore, when two organisms share a

character state different from other species, it is because they are more closely related to each other through a recent common ancestor than they are to other species.

Also using the parsimony principle, a scheme of common ancestry for all the species is derived that uses all the characters that have been observed.
