The correct answer is B.
On this graph we can observe the workings of the stabilizing selection. Stabilizing selection tends to favor the average phenotype and eliminate the extremes. Essentially, this means that the natural selection is selecting the mean value of a trait as optimal. In our case, the mean weight of newborns is selected as optimal, because newborns born with less weight can be too weak to survive and the ones that have too much weight (are too big) can hurt the mother during birth.
Minerals from the soil are taken up by plants, and energy from the sun is transformed by them into carbohydrates. Animals eat the plants, and insects that feed on them use the carbohydrates and minerals to make energy and protein. The droppings of the animals add to the organic matter in the soil and it starts over. Hope this helps.
Answer:
Extrachromosomal or cytoplasmic inheritance
Explanation:
Extrachromosomal or cytoplasmic inheritance refers to hereditability transmission controlled by cytoplasmic genes.
This form of inheritance lays in genes that are out of the nucleus. Information for some characters is placed in organelles in the cytoplasm, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. These organelles have a well-defined portion of the total cellular genome.
Although mitochondrial inheritance is mostly maternal, recent studies have demonstrated that it might also be paternal.
Sperm cells hardly carry mitochondria, so mitochondrial DNI is mostly inherited from the maternal side. If there exists any mutation in this DNI, the whole progeny of the mutated woman will be affected, as they will get the mother´s mitochondria carrying the mutation. On the contrary, if there is a man affected by a disease caused by a mutation in mitochondrial DNI, non of their descendants will get the disease.
Answer:
(e)
Explanation:
Transmembrane protein are proteins that are firmly associated with membranes because it is integrated along the length of bilayer lipid membrane. This kind of protein is made up of two kinds of amino acid, hydrophilic or polar amino acid and hydrophobic or non polar amino acid. while peripheral protein loosely associated with membrane, they are present on the surface which means they are not integrated in to the cell membrane and facing intercellular fluid. this is why it contains only hydrophilic amino acid.
The primary amino acid sequence contains hydrophobic amino acid which identifies the protein as transmembrane protein. These amino acid are methionine (Met), leucine(Leu), valine(Val), glycine(Gly), tryptophan(Trp), isoleucine(Ile), phenylalanine(Phe), proline(Pro) and alanine(Ala)
