Adult wasps sting caterpillars and inject their eggs into the caterpillars. The larvae feed on the caterpillars, leading to the death of the caterpillars. What kind of a relationship exists between the wasps and the caterpillars?
A.
The adult wasps are parasites to the caterpillars.
B.
The caterpillars are parasites to the wasps.
C.
The adult wasps are commensals, and the caterpillars are hosts.
D.
The caterpillars are commensals, and the adult wasps are hosts.

Answers

Answer 1

The description suggests that the adult wasps are commensals and caterpillars are the hosts which nourishes and keep their eggs inside them but the caterpillars die when larvae continually feed and become adult.

Answer 2
C because they are benefiting from the relationship while the caterpillars are the hosts. Although I would expect the wasps to be more like parasites...

Answers

Answer:

duplication  

Explanation:

Inversion

If we talk about inversion, it inversion, it is a process in which a specific base sequence is inverted or rearranged in such a way that direction is reversed. For example: ABC is changed into BCA, therefore it is not right option.

Translocation

If we talk about translocation,it is  caused by rearrangement of parts between non homologous chromosomes. It can be balanced or unbalanced but it involves two genes or two sets of chromosomes. But in our example, we have only one sequence of DNA under study, therefore, inversion is not possible.

Insertion

Talking about insertion, it involves addition of one or more nucleotide at certain position of gene sequence. There are chances that it can be an insertion of GGG but the insertion of three G instead of any random nucleotide addition or nucleotide sequence addition is rare. So, there are less chances that this is an insertion and more chances that this is an exact duplication event.

Duplication:

If we talk about duplication, a certain portion of a gene or chromosome is  replicated or duplicated in such a way that it results in more than one copies of that region.

Keeping that definition infront, we see that GGG duplicated to GGGGGG.  So, if we logically look at the question, duplication seems to be the most appropriate option.

Hope it help!

What is your personal ideology? Give your opinion on the three following topics. Justify your support or opposition to each issue by using examples. Issue one: should the government have the right to place a high tax on soda to discourage its consumption and fight teen obesity? Issue two: should the government be allowed to monitor your actions on the internet to keep the nation safe from terrorism? Issue three: should the government be allowed to outlaw texting while driving to keep drivers safer on the road?

Answers

Issue one: The government should not have the right to issue a higher tax on carbonated drinks/soda to discourage teen obesity because it would be not alter the demand for these types of products. Say for example we use the supply, demand, quantity and price model, supply and quantity are unaffected in this model, whilst price goes up. When the price goes up, this would be an example of where demand does not decrease since the price would not deter people from purchasing it. With the amount of sodas that have to be regulated and how common they are to the everyday life, it'd be a waste of time. Furthermore, it is not the responsibility of the government to regulate personal choices done by the customers, it is their own choice if they choose to be healthy or not.


Issue two: The government does not have the right to monitor our actions on the internet to keep the nation safe from terrorism. The internet is a free market, a public entity supplied by public cooperations and access given by ISPs. The government's jurisdiction does not give them permission to monitor the internet as it could possibly fall under a violation of the fourth amendment. The ISPs, social media networks, and any other cooperation has the right to monitor actions as it'd be written out and agreed by the user in their terms of service, the government should not have involvement, only their intervention is required when a report is filed.


Issue three: The government should be allowed to outlaw texting while driving since it is a hazard to personal safety and the safety of others. The roads in the United States of America are mostly public, and texting while driving impairs the user's ability to react to incoming situations, whilst taking their focus off the road. Similar to drinking while driving, it only becomes an issue when the safety of others aside from your self is put at risk. In which case, I do believe the government has the right to outlaw texting while driving to keep drivers safer on the road.
