Eukaryotic cells have been confronted throughout their evolution with potentially lethal plasma membrane injuries, including those caused by osmotic stress, by infection from bacterial toxins and parasites, and by mechanical and ischemic stress. The wounded cell can survive if a rapid repair response is mounted that restores boundary integrity. Calcium has been identified as the key trigger to activate an effective membrane repair response that utilizes exocytosis and endocytosis to repair a membrane tear, or remove a membrane pore. We here review what is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of membrane repair, with particular emphasis on the relevance of repair as it relates to disease pathologies. Collective evidence reveals membrane repair employs primitive yet robust molecular machinery, such as vesicle fusion and contractile rings, processes evolutionarily honed for simplicity and success. Yet to be fully understood is whether core membrane repair machinery exists in all cells, or whether evolutionary adaptation has resulted in multiple compensatory repair pathways that specialize in different tissues and cells within our body.

Lamarcks theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics
stellarik [79]

Answer:

              1) All of the above

Explanation:

                     Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics states that the  physical changes in the body parts of an organism are inherited to their off spring from generation to generation. During his study of physical appearance ( phenotype) of organism Lamarck said that the characters adopted according to the changes in environment by organism as a physical change in body are inheritable e.g giraffes long neck due to shortage of food the giraffes in order to reach to higher trees had to make their neck long so their neck length was increased and they had long necks so the new offspring when burn had long necks so on this basis he said that the physical changes are inherited. Giraffes with long neck had more chances of survival in the environment.
