Specific areas in which certain living organisms interact with their environment

You have been a sample of Mimivirus, which has the largest capsid diameter of all currently known viruses (600 nm) and is hexagon shaped (icosahedral). Based on your knowledge of microscopes, what would you be able to see/determine about mimiviral structure using each of the following microscopes?

a. simple compound (light) microscope b. fluorescent microscope using fluorescently labeled antibodies to a novel capsid protein c. magnetic resonance force microscope

The daughter cells produced by meiosis are ____

a. identical to the parent but genetically different from each other b. identical to each other but genetically different from the parent c. genetically different from the parent and each other d. genetically identical to the parent and each other e. genetically different from each other but with the same chromosome number as the parent

Skeletal muscle cells are ________ .

a . multinucleated b. cylindrical and short c. anucleated d. unable to contract on their own e. found in the walls of internal organs

Africa, Asia, South America, and Antarctica share some patterns of primitive (fossil) plants and early reptiles, but do not have similar mammal populations. These findings

A. suggest that a pattern of land bridges existed at different times in geological history. B. suggest that the mammals evolved earlier while continents were joined, but plants and reptiles radiated into diverse groups after separation. C. cast serious doubts upon the theory of continental drift and fused land masses. D. are an unsolved puzzle probably due to the random nature of biological evolution. E. suggest that the earlier plants and reptiles evolved while continents were joined, but mammals radiated into diverse groups after separation.
