Answer:

A, B, C and D are the correct answers.

Explanation:

The example given in option A can be accepted as stomata are openings or pores that are found on the surface of the leaves and the water vaporates through them.

The example given in option B can also be accepted because thricomes take on the role of decreasing water loss by reducing the effect of sunlight on the surface of the leaves.

Cuticle is the layer on the outside of the leaves called epidermis, which protects the plant from losing water through vaporization. Therefore the example given in option C can also be accepted.

Leaves in the shape of needles help decrease water loss as they reduce the total surface area of the leaves greatly. Option D can be accepted.

Stomata on the surface of the leaves gets direct sunlight and this leads to more water to vaporize so option E can not be an example of an adaptation.

As surface area increases, so does water loss so option F also can not be accepted.

I hope this answer helps.

Which of the following cellular environments is conducive to the formation of disulfide bonds within or between proteins? Choose
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Mitochondria.

Explanation:

Disulfide bonds are known as covalent bonds. They are formed by the oxidation of 2 cysteines and these bonds can provide stability to proteins. These bonds mainly formed in intermembrane space of mitochondria and cellular compartments outside the cytoplasm endoplasmic reticulum. Both of these organelles present in an oxidation state providing an atmosphere for disulfide bond formation.

Cytoplasm and Nuclei mostly exit in reducing state because of the existence of disulfide reductase which is reducing the disulfide bonds between the cysteine residue to thiolate state. So, the disulfide bond formation will not happen.

The sickle-cell allele produces a serious blood disease in homozygous recessive individuals. why doesn't natural selection elimi
icang [17]

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.
