Summary Introduction

Introduction:

An organism is the smallest level of organization in terms of ecology. Taxonomically, organisms are divided into many different species.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct Answer:

A community is defined as a geographical area which consists of different populations in a given time period.

Therefore, option (B) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

A campus consists of a many different types of populations. The humans studying there make up one kind of population and others are formed by the different plants, trees, birds, insects etc. A community is also made up of different types of populations within an area over a time period.

Option (B) is given as “a community”.

“All the organisms on your campus make up a community”, it is the right answer.

Hence, the option (B) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “an ecosystem”.

An ecosystem consists of the non-living matters too, along with the living organisms. However, we are talking only about the living organisms. So, this is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “a population”.

A population consists of organisms of the same species. However, the campus consists of many numbers of species. So, this is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “a taxonomic domain”.

A domain is the highest in hierarchy in the classification system and encompasses a large number of organisms. So, this is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C) and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

All the organisms on a campus make up a community. A community is defined as a geographical area which consists of different types of populations in a given time period.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
