In a study of interactions between plants, ants and caterpillars, the following experimental treatments were imposed: i) Control (both ants and caterpillars are present); ii) Ant removal; iii) Caterpillar removal; iv) Ant and caterpillar removal. Plus (+) indicates presence and minus (-) indicates absence on plants. The results for plant performance (growth) from this experiment  are shown in the figure below. Plant performance in all treatments were significantly different from each other. Based on these results, which of the following inferences is correct?


#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. In the absence of caterpillars, ants negatively affected plant performance
  2. In the absence of ants, caterpillars positively affected plant performance 
  3. In the presence of caterpillars, ants negatively affected plant performance 
  4. In the presence of ants, caterpillars positively affected plant performance

The relationship between shortened telomeres and stem cell depletion has been seen in degenerative diseases such as mouse muscular dystrophy,

I) When____ is activated by damaged telomeres, DNA replication halts, and if the repair doesn’t work, apoptosis is initiated. If the cell is a stem cell or some other rapidly replicating cell, this will reduce the numbers of cells produced, and the lack of stem cells will produce an “aged” phenotype.

 II) When ____ is activated by damaged telomeres, DNA replication halts, repair do its work, apoptosis is inhibited. If the cell is a stem cell or some other rapidly replicating cell, this will increase the numbers of cells produced, and then these cells will produce an “aged” phenotype.
