You are given an unknown organism to identify. It is unicellular and heterotrophic. It is motile, using many short extensions of the cytoplasm, each featuring the ring of 9 2 microtubule filament pattern. It has well-developed organelles and two nuclei, one large and one small. This organism is most likely to be a .A) radiolarians B) slime molds C) ciliates D) kinetoplastids E) foraminiferans

This organism is most likely to be a ciliates.

Explanation:

Ciliates are small unicellular protozoans that contain hair like ciliated projection, called cilia.

They contain 2 different types of nucleus, one is called diploid micro nuclei, that are responsible for carrying germ line of a cell and another one is poliploid macro nuclei that helps to control cell regulation and expression of phenotype of the organism.

Clilates are motile and contain one or more prominent contractile vacuole where they store the food.

The axoneme contain 9 ring like outer doublets and 2 centrally located singlet microtubules, (9+2 axoneme)

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
