c. run faster is the correct option

Primates have large brains and dexterous limbs. Non-primates have small brains and inflexible limbs. The main differences between primates and non-primates are the size of the brain and the flexibility of the limbs.

Humans are primates and are a diverse group containing about 200 species. Monkeys, lemurs, and apes are our cousins, and we have all evolved from a common ancestor over the last 60 million years.

Primates: Humans, apes, monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas, baboons, and orangutans are examples of primates.

Non-primates: Birds, reptiles, amphibians, and some mammals are not primates.

Which of the statements are true? Yeast cells that produce more unsaturated fatty acids than saturated fatty acids in response t

Feliz [49]

Answer:1)Yeast cells that produce more unsaturated fatty acids than saturated fatty acids in response to cold have greater cold tolerance

2)Cell membranes in reindeer legs (near the hooves) are kept flexible because they have a large number of saturated fatty acids.

3.)Cell membranes in cold tolerant winter wheat plants have a higher ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids than do cold intolerant wheat varieties.

Explanation.

Basically the longer the chains of fatty acids the higher the degree of energy produced as heat energy, and therefore the higher the insulation.

Unsaturated fats clogged together and the aggregate carbons and hydrogens ensured insulation.

Some slime molds have some morphological similarities to fungi such as during times of stress they will develop into fruiting bo

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option - D.

Explanation:

Slime moulds are the fungus-like protists which bear a structure called sporangium which produces spores. The sporangium is produced in fungi as well due to which these protists are called fungus-like. Although both produce sporangium but they are not closely related, rather they are distantly related organisms.

The appearance of a sporangium in both indicates that they had faced the same conditions due to which they both showed the same adaptation by producing the same structures performing the same function. In evolutionary terms, this is an example of convergent evolution.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation than asexual reproduction?

LuckyWell [14K]

Sexual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms. ... Each resulting cell, or gamete, resulting from meiosis has only half the amount of DNA as the parent cell.
