Which of the following body systems breaks down proteins into amino acids

1 answer:

4 0

When protein enters the stomach, it begins to break down thanks to tiny glands of the stomach which produces juices to help digest food, but only when it enters the small intestine does the protein molecules break down into amino acids.

So the Small Intestine is the answer.

Have a great day! :)

Which principle helps to explain the reason behind why the two alleles for a single trait separate from each other when gametes

Misha Larkins [42]

The law of A. segregation is the Mendel’s laws or principles explain that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of as pairs, groups or sets. So the correct option is option “A” as far as the given question is concerned. This is a law or principle which states that during the formation of gametes, two copies of each heredity factors separate out so that the new offspring can get one factor of both the parents. This law was the first law in this direction.

Few seeds can be dispersed by more than one method of seed dispersal.’ Explain with suitable examples.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus.

Gravity: A good example of gravity dispersal is the marigold flower. When they are ready, these seeds drop to the ground.

Wind: There are two types of wind dispersal adaptations, the floaters, and the fliers:

(wind) Floaters: The common dandelion is a good example of this type of seed dispersal.

(wind) Fliers: Maple seeds grow in pairs, but when they are mature, they separate, and a strong wind can pull them from the stem

Ballistic: Some common examples of this type of dispersal are garden peas. When the cells grow older, the result is that the pods break open and twist. This twisting actions pops the seeds lose and pushes them away from the pod.

Water: Coconuts have a husk that surrounds the seed. This husk is very buoyant and a coconut seed can float across hundreds of miles of ocean before washing ashore on a new island to germinate and grow into a tree.

Animals: there are also two types of these, hitchhikers and edibles. Seeds that stick to the outside of animals, or are spread when they go out the other end after being eaten:

Hitchhikers: Some examples are cockleburs and foxtail.

Edibles: These seeds are surrounded by good tasting fruit, like apples and peaches.

Neoteny is invoked to help explain:________

Triss [41]

Answer:D, how relatively little genetic change could lead to the significant differences we see between ourselves and chimps. 3 mya-2 mya. You inherited from your mom both her crooked nose and her recipe for chocolate chip cookies (both favorable traits).

Explanation:Neoteny is the retention, by adults in a species, of traits previously seen only in juveniles, and is a subject studied in the field of developmental biology. In neoteny, the physiological (or somatic) development of an animal or organism is slowed or delayed. You inherited from your mom both her crooked nose and her recipe for chocolate chip cookies (both favorable traits).
