Summary Introduction

To explain: Under which condition the rotifers and aphids are able to reproduce asexually.

Concept introduction: Living beings use two types of reproduction to produce offspring, one is asexual reproduction and the other is sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, only one organism is involved, and the offspring produced are genetically alike. Asexual reproduction occurs in many plants, for example spider plants, bacteria, hydra, yeast, and jellyfish. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes. In this type of reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. It occurs in most mammals, fish, reptiles, birds, and insects.

Explanation of Solution

Rotifers and aphids reproduce both by sexually and asexually or parthenogenetically. For asexual reproduction, stable environmental conditions are most favorable conditions. Under asexual reproduction, various processes like budding and binary fission take place. In this process, genetically identical offspring are produced. These genetically identical individuals prefer to live in a same stable environment that provides the offspring a better chance to survive.

Explanation of Solution

Rotifers and aphids reproduce both by sexual reproduction and parthenogenesis. The continuous changing environmental conditions are more favorable for sexual reproduction. In autumn, aphids reproduce by sexual process and lay eggs. A change in photoperiod, temperature, and food quality and quantity causes female to reproduce parthenogenetically. Sexual reproduction takes place between males and females, which give rise to genetically different offspring. This changing environment is more suitable to reproduce genetically different offspring.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format: I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format) Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
