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
