Alichen is an organism that structurally appears to be a single organism. but a lichen is actually two different organisms—a fungus and green algae—living together as one organism. the fungal partner derives its nutrition from the photosynthesizing algae. how does a lichen differ in its photosynthetic activity from elysia chlorotica, the sea slug that’s considered to be a photosynthesizing animal? a. in lichens, the fungi photosynthesize on their own, while elysia chlorotica forms a relationship with a photosynthesizing plant. b. in lichens, the relationship with the algae lasts throughout the life cycle, but in elysia chlorotica, the relationship occurs only during the immature juvenile stage of the slug’s life cycle. c. lichens can photosynthesize only because of the living algal partner, while elysia chlorotica incorporates chloroplasts from algae into its cells. d. in lichens, the association between the fungi and algae is permanent, while elysia chlorotica associates with a photosynthesizing organism only when it requires food.

Many farmers prefer cattle without horns because it is safer for their herds. the allele for no horns (n) is dominant to the allele for the presence of horns (n). a farmer mates a male with horns to a heterozygous female without horns. what is the chance that the offspring will have horns?

The is an estimate of the fewest number of organisms a population needs to avoid extinction. this measurement will most if the number of offspring each female in the population produces increases. if the population's this measurement will most likely increase. 1 population density, minimum viable population, carrying capacity 2 decrease, be unaffected, increase 3 death rate increase, dead rate decrease
