Answer:

Cytotoxic T cells

Explanation:

Perforin is the cytosolic protein and upon degranulation forms pores in the target cell. Perforin protein helps in the transport of water and ions.

Perforin is present in the granules of cytotoxic T cells. These cells have the ability to kill virus infected cells and cancer cells. Cytotoxic T cells bind with the class 1 MHC molecules. These cells are also known as CD8+ T cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Why might having an excretory system that excretes urine be a disadvantage in a desert environment? how can desert animals overc
Pani-rosa [81]
<span>In a desert, water is in scarce supply, so excreting water would be a bad thing and might cause the death of any animal that does so due to dehydration. There can be several different mechanisms to overcome this. One would be to have the bladder discharge urine into the large intestine where the water can then be reabsorbed into the body while the urea in the urine is passed out along with other solid wastes produced by digestion. Some other methods of conserving water would be for the kidneys to extract more water from the urine leaving the urine fairly concentrated. Also animals may behave in manners that conserve water such as staying in the shade during the day and only being active at night.</span>

11. Why<br> are<br> organisms with more similar amino acid sequences more closely related?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

Because the DNA sequence determines a protein's amino acid sequence, a gene shared by two closely related organisms should have similar, or even identical, amino acid sequences. That's because closely related species most likely diverged from one another fairly recently in the evolutionary span. Thus, they haven't had as much time to accumulate random mutations in their genetic codes.
