Some species of hover flies resemble wasps in body coloring and shape. How does this characteristic appearance most likely serve as a useful adaptation to some species of hover flies?

a
They are able to pollinate the same flowers as wasps.
b
They can interbreed with wasps and increase species diversity.
c
They can colonize wasp nests without being detected.
d
They are mistaken for wasps and avoided by predators.

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Most of the fossils found in virginia are in the coastal plain, valley, ridge, and appalachian plateau regions, best suggesting that these geographic provinces a) were once covered by seawater. b) are the oldest parts of virginia. c) have a great deal of karst topography. d) have large amounts of sedimentary rock.

16. which of the following accurately describes a step within transcription? a. dna polymerase uses one strand of rna as a template to put together nucleotides. b. the dna strand is used as a template for which a complementary rna strand can be produced. c. the rna strand forms a template by which dna can be built. d. the rna strand is produced within the cytoplasm.
