By the 1950s, there was Choose... major variety(ies) of banana being grown commercially in the world. Then, a soil fungus called Fusarium struck the banana plants, causing Panama Disease. Because of Choose... , the bananas could not resist the fungus. Within a few years, the entire commercial banana industry had collapsed. The industry switched to a different kind of banana. Yet fifty years later, Panama Disease has returned, and there is still no cure for it. Scientists argue that the best solution for the future is Choose... .

Salmonella typhimurium is a food-borne bacterial pathogen that can cause severe gastrointestinal disease. salmonella is often phagocytosed by macrophages that normally destroy bacterial pathogens, but this bacterium is somehow able to prevent the complete maturation of phagolysosomes. salmonella is able to tolerate the low ph of phagolysosomes, and in fact responds to the drop in ph by secreting toxins that interfere with other cellular responses. which of the following differences would you expect to contribute to the survival of a bacterium within an salmonella-containing phagosome, compared to a healthy phagolysosome? decreased activity of acid hydrolases increased activity of acid hydrolases decreased import of h+ ions increased import of h+ ions my guess is decreased activity of acid hydrolases but i'm not sure.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution

Fossils can only be formed when? if mud, silt or tar is in the area to preserve the fossil ierosion does not occur and allows the fossil to form oxygen and microorganisms cannot decay the bones the area is dry and does not contain mud or silt
