The nontaxonomic term sea slug encompasses a wide variety of marine gastropods. One feature they share as adults is the lack of

a shell. We might think, therefore, that they represent defenseless morsels for predators. In fact, sea slugs have multiple defenses. Some sea slugs prey on sponges and concentrate sponge toxins in their tissues. Others feed on cnidarians, digesting everything except the nematocysts, which they then transfer to their own skins. Whereas the most brightly colored sea slugs are often highly toxic, others are nontoxic and mimic the coloration of the toxic species. Their colors are mostly derived from pigments in their prey. There are also sea slugs that use their coloration to blend into their environments.a.nematocystsb.an incurrent siphonc.a radulad.a mantle cavity

B) a sharp beak

C) an incurrent siphon

E) a mantle cavity

Solution

Sea slung are known as marine gastropod mollusks and like all other member of the mollusk family, sea slug uses their radula to capture their food.

Suppose the fictional condition lycanthropy is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes an affected person to have a strong ph
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.  

Explanation:

As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.

An annual plant bears fruit or flowers every year. <br> a. True<br> b. False
8_murik_8 [283]
This is false.

These are called perennial plants. Annual plants go through their entire life process within a single year and stop existing, meaning they can't produce fruit every year.
