Give one example of how the testing of Platismatia glauca could benefit future ecological research of this forest.

Fan egg cell containing the (n+1) number of chromosomes combines with a sperm cell containing the (n) number of chromosomes, what is the result of this union? a) all future somatic cells of the organism will contain the (2n + 1) number of chromosomes. b) all future somatic cells of the organism will contain the (2n - 1) number of chromosomes. c) only certain somatic cells of the organism will contain the (2n + 1) number of chromosomes. d) all future somatic cells of the organism will contain the normal diploid number of chromosomes.

Agroup of plant cells was exposed to radiation, which damaged the chloroplasts and caused them to lose function. if the mitochondria were unharmed, what would happen to the overall function of the plant cells? a. the cells would not be able to make food, but would be able to release energy from biomolecules. b. the cells would not be able to replicate dna, but would be able to break down waste. c. the cells would not be able to break down waste, but would be able to replicate dna. d. the cells would not be able to release energy from biomolecules, but would be able to make food.

Based on the observation that only male crickets produce a song, you hypothesize that a male's song is a form of communication to potential mates. you set up a simple experiment to test this hypothesis. in the laboratory, you place a male snowy tree cricket in enclosure a, which is adjacent to enclosureb. in enclosure b, you place other insects, one at a time, and observe their responses to the male's song. the enclosures are designed so that the two insects being tested cannot see or smell each other, but sound is transmitted from enclosure a to enclosureb.
