To suggest: The reason why the green algal lineage species colonize the land more likely than the red algal lineage. Concept introduction : Red algae is the closest algal relative that has a phycoerythrin (photosynthetic pigment), which is reddish in colour and is mostly multicellular organism. Green algae possess the grass-green chloroplasts. They are similar in the pigment composition and structure as in the chloroplasts of plants.

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS Organisms interactwith each other and the physical environment. In a shortessay (100–150 words), explain how the response of diatompopulations to a drop in nutrient availability can affect bothother organisms and aspects of the physical environment(such as carbon dioxide concentrations).

DOTa species The pesticide DDT was widely used in the 1940s as a method of insect control. In the late 1950s the first DDT-resistant mosquitoes were discovered, and eventually DDT-resistant mosquitoes were found globally. When DDT is used now, the development of DDT resistance in mosquito populations occurs in months rather than years.Which of the following best explains the observations concerning DDT resistance in mosquitoes? * The proportion of DDT-resistant mosquitoes in a population remains constant due to the metabolic costs of DDT utilization DDT is a chemical signal that delays normal reproductive cycles in many mosquito populations. Natural selection favors DDT-resistant mosquitoes that are already present in a population when DDT exposure occurs. Competition for limited resources causes mosquitoes to migrate to geographical areas that have richer supplies of DDT. A population of 1,492 finches is introduced to a rainforest. Over the next year, the finches showa death rate of…

Microtaxonomy (Species and Speciation) Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a fungus that causes mango anthracnose. It's a devastating disease being avoided by mango farmers. For example, in the island province of Guimaras, Philippines, one cannot bring mango into the island to avoid contamination of the mango plantations. Guimaras produces the sweetest mango in the world. One challenge in the control of mango anthracnose is that C. gloeosporioides is a species complex. What is a complex and how do we provide clear delineation (if we can) among these closely related species?
