Answer:
D. Control the blood flow into the capillary bed
Explanation:
The degree of filling of the capillary bed and level of arterial pressure within the vascular system is determined mainly by the degree of tonus (firmness) in the smooth muscle of the arterial wall. Arterioles have relatively narrow lumina, thick muscular wall and precapillary sphincter.
Let's complete the question by adding the missing piece of information
The mutation results in the breed's distinctive point markings (ears, mask, tail and legs) and lighter body color. Use this information to explain the pattern of the cat's fur pigmentation.
Answer:
The mutation of the TYR gene results in the enzyme tyrosinase to be heat susceptible. Tyrosinase takes part in the production of melanin to give darker fur in colder areas. The areas like the tail, legs, ears, and face do lack as much body heat and so will get darker.
Explanation:
A unique protein (enzyme), known as tyrosinase, is the major workhorse in the development of the melanin. A research team from the University of California, USA, led by L. A. Lyons, discovered that Siamese cats have tyrosinase that went through mutation due to the changes in the DNA helix and is temperature-sensitive as it's activity reduces with a rise in temperature. This explains why cat’s warm parts of the body are coated with white, melanin-lacking hair since Tyrosinase is deactivated in these regions and melanin is not developed – hair is white-colored. On the other hand, in cooler boundary the enzyme is active and the melanin is formed – hair has dark color.

The statement “Decomposers are those organisms that recycle matter in the ecosystem” describes decomposers. Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition.
