Which of the following is characteristic of ciliates? a. they can exchange genetic material with other ciliates by the process of mitosis. b. they are often multinucleate. c. they use pseudopods as feeding structures. d. most live as solitary autotrophs in fresh water.

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The ciliates are a group of the organism of protozoans characterized by the presence of cilia, a hair-like structure, that appears to be the same as the eukaryotic flagella.

These organisms are shorter in size and found in high numbers. They normally have more than one nuclei so known as multinucleate. They found in the freshwater.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
