A flower species releases a strong odor that protects the flower by keeping predators away. The odor also prevents pollinators from visiting the flower. The flower is able to survive, but cannot reproduce. What is the relative fitness of this flower? A. 50%
B.100%
C.75%
D.0%

92 sathe best for the question 11. most animals and plants reproduce sexually. this means that dna is passed down to new organisms from two parental organisms. which of the following is a key advantage of sexual reproduction?

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.
