The lumper potatoes that were grown in Ireland during the 1800s were essentially clones of one another. They all had the same ge

netic makeup. So, when a potato blight disease began infecting the potatoes, it spread to all potatoes equally. How could greater genetic diversity have lessened the devastation of the potato blight?

The question has options that are given as below:

A. Some potatoes would be more likely to have a genetic resistance to the disease and survive. B. The potatoes would have been able to trade genes so that they could survive the disease. C. More of the potatoes would have been edible varieties. D. None of the potatoes would have been infected by the disease.

Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Some potatoes would be more likely to have a genetic resistance to the disease and survive.

Explanation:

Genetic resistance is the capability or ability of some individual organisms of a population or species have to adapt the environmental or genetic changes and survive while other organisms of species are not able to do the same.

In this case, some of the potatoes more likely to show genetic resistance to the disease and condition and survive from the devastation of the potato blight

How do the nervous system and endocrine system work together? apex?
jek_recluse [69]
The nervous and the endocrine system are tightly linked together.
The main reason for this linkage is due to the connection of the hypothalamus (nervous system) and the hypophysis (a gland in the endocrine system)
The hypophysis is the ''controller'' of all of the other endocrine glands.
The connection between the hypothalamus and the hypophysis enables the nervous system to control the hormone levels of all of the major endocrine glands in the body.
The hypothalamus releases hormones into the bloodstream that leads to the hypophysis. These hormones induce a release of hypophysis hormones that enter the bloodstream and when they reach the target gland (for example pancreas) these hormones induce the release of the hormones of that gland (in the case of the pancreas, insulin).
The hypothalamus monitors the concentration of hormones in the blood, and a high level of a certain hormone blocks the release of the hypothalamus' hormones. Therefore, a high level of insulin blocks a cascade of hormone release that starts in the hypothalamus that leads to its release in the pancreas.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1. gravel of the sand: a part is dissolved and the remainder is grouped at the bottom of the beaker.

2. drop of sunflower oil: It is not absorbed and heaps on the surface of the water contained in the beaker.

Explanation:

Gravel of the sand is a polar substance. This means that this substance has the ability to dissolve and mix with water in a system in which both were placed together, such as a beaker, for example. However, the beaker limits the amount of water, which limits its ability to dissolve polar substances. Therefore, depending on the quantity, the gravel of the sand, when placed in a beaker with water, will dissolve, in parts, what is not dissolved will accumulate in the bottom of the beacker, because the gravel of the sand is denser than the water.

With the drop of sunflower oil the exact opposite happens. This is because drops of oil are nonpolar substances, which means that they do not have the ability to be dissolved in water. This means that when dropped into the beaker with water, the drop of sunflower oil will not dissolve, but will pile up on the water surface, because it is less dense than water.
