In addition to deep sea organisms, there are many species found throughout the ocean. The numbers and relative proportions of Bacteria and Archaea change with depth in response to changing conditions. Viruses that infect the prokaryotic organisms play a variety of important roles in this habitat, including control of their overall numbers and facilitation of horizontal gene transfer. Choose whether each statement best describes bacteria, archaea, or viruses. a. Most are inactivated by hydrolytic enzymes or sunlight,
b. Turnover in seawater is relatively rapid; the populations are replaced within a few days or weeks.
c. They are the predominant prokaryotes above 1000 m.
d. Most of these living below 1000 m are thought to be ammonia oxidizers.
e. Below 1000 m the most common phylum is Thaumarchaeota.
f. They increase to near 50% of total prokaryotes below 1000 m.
g. They are the most numerous biological entities in seawater.
h. A common genus is Pelagibacter.
i. Some types found in the photic zone carry out aerobic photosynthesis.

What adaptation is apparent in the bodies of the three tortoise species shown in figure 16-2

The collared lizard is a species found in the desert southwest. male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. you predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. to test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. you selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. you placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. in 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type. create a bar graph of your data, plotting the type of male (dull or brightly colored) on the x-axis. on the y-axis, plot the frequency with which each type of male was chosen by females. using this graph, answer the following question(s). is it reasonable to conclude (i.e., is it supported by the data) that female collared lizards prefer more brightly colored male lizards over dull-colored males?
