Chapter 28.4, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
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.

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…

Life cycle complexity
Describe a generalized complex life cycle for a parasite that would encompass one or more intermediates hosts and multiple larval stages. Why would this heteroxenic life cycle be an evolutionary advantage over a monoxenic one?

- DNA sequence data for a diplomonad, a euglenid, a plant, and an unidentified protist suggest that the unidentified species is most closely related to the diplomonad. Further studies reveal that the unknown species has fully functional mitochondria. Based on these data, at what point on the phylogenetic tree in Figure 1 did the mystery protist’s lineage probably diverge from other eukaryote lineages? Explain.arrow_forwardMAKE CONNECTIONS The bacterium Wolbachia is asymbiont that lives in mosquito cells and spreads rapidlythrough mosquito populations. Wolbachia can make mosquitoes resistant to infection by Plasmodium; researchersare seeking a strain that confers resistance and does notharm mosquitoes.
