Imagine you are a paleontologist and you found a plant fossil of a brand new species! What traits would this species exhibit for you to classify it as a bryophyte vs a fern vs a gymnosperm? Describe this hypothetical species's traits and your classification.
by using following characteristrics chart once can classify the new plant found:
| characteristics | bryophytes | ferns/pteridophytes | Gymnosperms |
| vascular tissue | absent (-) | present (+) | higher level (^) |
| true leaves | (-) | (+) | (^) |
| stems | (-) | (+) | (^) |
| roots | (-) | rhizoids | advanced roots |
| pollen | (-) | (-) | (+) |
| seeds | (-) | (-) | naked seeds |
| fruits and flowers | (-) | (-) | (-) |
| water required for fertilization | yes | yes | no |

A good way to think about how to define your personal brand is to imagine what people might say about you when you leave the room. If you put yourself in that scenario, what are three (3) traits and three (3) skills that those in the room would recognize you for having? How do you think those traits and skills are beneficial to an employer?
imagine you discover a new species of bacteria that derives energy from sunlight but requires carbon in the form of organic compounds. based on its energy and carbon sources your organism would most appropriately be classified a
Imagine that you currently work on the Pepsi brand in the marketing department. You want to learn more about why consumers are loyal to your brand. What type of research would you employ to gain a better understanding of brand loyalty? Please explain why you selected this type of research.
Question 13 1 pts In a hypothetical scenario, imagine that you have discovered a rare species of bird on a remote Pacific island. You spend some time studying their ecology and habitation and discover that although these birds look alike, they are indeed two distinct populations with very different mating calls. You propose that these two populations must be two species since they are no longer able to mate with one another. Which of the following species concepts would you...
Food for Thought 7. If you found no cytotoxic effects with your plant extract, does this prove the extract is not Explain Not necessarily, Cytotoxins target specific cells and so it might not affect the test subject. & If you found no cytotoxic effects with your plant extract, does this prove that the plant species from which the extract was made has no cytotonic allelochemicals? Explain 9. How might you alter the two bioassay procedures to provide more information? Describe...
You have identified a new species of flowering plant with red flowers instead of the usual blue flowers. You performed a cross and found that all of the F1 plants had purple flowers. When you self-fertilized these F1 plants, the resulting F2 was: Blue flowers: 1034 Purple flowers: 297 Red flowers: 94 What would the expected numbers be if these phenotypes were due to two alleles with incomplete dominance at a single loci? What if these phenotypes were due to...
Suppose your research team found a brand new gene that may be involved in the early stages of embryonic development. In studying this gene, your team manages to identify the promoter region and one enhancer region that is 1,000 kilobases upstream of the promoter region. To study this gene’s expression during embryonic development, would you choose to fuse a reporter gene, like GFP, with the promoter region or the enhancer of your gene of interest? Why would you choose that...
You are describing a new species of plant that may have unusual photosynthetic properties, below are the absorption values you obtained from an organic extract of the plant, which wavelengths of visible light does the plant like best? What color is the plant? Color Wavelength Absorbance Red (620nm) 2.0 Orange (590 nm) .0 Yellow (570 nm) 0.0 Green (495 nm) 0.5 Blue (450nm) 1.0 Violet (380nm) 0.5 A) Plant uses red and blue light, plant is Bluish orange yellow in...
If you found a new bird species that lived in dark forest habitats in the Amazon, which of the following would you predict to be the most likely way that males attract females? Select one: a. A loud mating song b. A mating display in which males display a bright orange area on their wings c. A light tapping on a tree branch d. A pheromone that males emit to attract females e. A mating display in which males display...
You discover a new plant species and you decide to conduct two mating experiments investigating mutant genes. The results from your experiment are outlined below. Which alleles are recessive? Parents F1 F2 1 Round x wrinkled All round seeds 5474 round; 1850 seeds wrinkled 2 Yellow x green All yellow seeds 6022 yellow, 2001 seeds green Select one around and wrinkled b.round and yellow winded and green dround and green inkled and yellow
