Responda
-
Pentadactyl
-
Pterodactyl
-
Double jointed
Questão 2
Questão
Who influenced and was involved in the development of Darwin's Theory?

-
Alexander Fleming
-
Alfred Wallace
Questão 3
Questão
Darwin observed that many [blank_start]vertebrates[blank_end] shared the [blank_start]pentadactyl[blank_end] limb. He suggested that this may be because the vertebrates had all [blank_start]evolved[blank_end] from one, original species.
Responda
-
vertebrates
-
pentadactyl
-
evolved
Questão 4
Questão
Biological controls have no limitations and are completely risk free.
Questão 5
Questão
Biological control involves the introduction of [blank_start]living[blank_end] organisms into an area affected by [blank_start]pests[blank_end]. The biological controls [blank_start]attack and eat[blank_end] the pests, eradicating the issue from the area. However, if too successful, these controls can [blank_start]eliminate[blank_end] the food supplies of native species. They may also attack the native species. If proper research is not carried out prior to their introduction, they may prove to be [blank_start]ineffective[blank_end] or a [blank_start]pest[blank_end] themselves.
Questão 6
Questão
Tissue culture samples are often grown on...
Responda
-
nutrient bazaar
-
nutrient agar
-
nutrient bizzarre
-
limestone
Questão 7
Questão
Living cell cultures are required to study viruses.
Questão 8
Questão
[blank_start]Selective breeding[blank_end] is a process which is commonly used to extract and reproduce desirable characteristics in livestock and crops. This is useful as it can improve the organisms being farmed, often resulting in [blank_start]better[blank_end] yield, better [blank_start]quality[blank_end] produce and more [blank_start]profit[blank_end] for the farmer. However, selective breeding also has risks. [blank_start]Alleles[blank_end] are responsible for these characteristics, and by reducing the [blank_start]variety[blank_end] of these alleles, the opportunities for varied breeding in the future are minimised. Furthermore, by making many organisms [blank_start]genetically identical[blank_end], the farmer is allowing their produce to become more liable to wipeout in [blank_start]environmental changes[blank_end] or the introduction of a [blank_start]virus[blank_end] or disease. More [blank_start]genetic variation[blank_end] would reduce the potential coverage of these kinds of changes.

Questão 11
Questão
Herbicides and fertilisers have advantages and disadvantages. Herbicides can kill weeds, but can also kill crops. The fact that herbicides can kill crops is a [blank_start]disadvantage[blank_end]. Fertilisers increase plant growth, but can cause water pollution. The fact that fertilisers increase plant growth is an [blank_start]advantage[blank_end]. The fact that fertilisers can cause water pollution is a [blank_start]disadvantage[blank_end].
