<h3>What is mutation?</h3>

Mutation is defined as the alteration in the genetic makeup of a living organism which may occur due to the following:

  • When there is spontaneous break down of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
  • Change in a single nucleotide of the DNA.
  • when there is additions or deletions of nucleotide in a DNA strand.

A change can be noticed in an animal such as Chimpanzee when the following occurs:

Mutations in chimpanzee DNA: This can alter both that anatomy and the physiological features of the organism involved.

Crossbreeding between gorillas and chimpanzees: When there is cross breeding between a chimpanzee and a gorilla, it will lead to a genetic diversity which can be observed as a change in the hands of the chimpanzee.

Which of the following is a function of the lymphatic system? Check all that apply 1) Recover fluid from the interstium to the b
nikitadnepr [17]

1 & 2

The lymph system acts like blood vessels only that instead of blood, they carry lymph. Just like certain organs as associated with the circulatory system like heart, the lymph system has such organs like the spleen and thymus.

Explanation:

When blood passes through capillaries, the blood pressure causes the blood plasma to filter through the capillary walls. This fluid then gets into the extracellular spaces of the cells and tissues and nourishes the cells. This fluid in which the cells ‘bath’ in is called interstitial fluid.  Excess interstitial fluid flows back through the lymphatic systems and back to the blood through the subclavian veins of the thoracic duct.

The lymph system has several functions. It is responsible for the removal of foreign material like bacteria because the lymph nodes have 'meshwork' that ‘sieves’ the lymph fluid and immune cells destroy bacteria and viruses.

19. A cell is ready to break down pyruvate
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The correct option is C. The cell followed Kreb's pathway.

Explanation:

Krebs cycle can be described as a metabolic pathway for the release of energy during the process of aerobic respiration. The Kreb's cycle constitutes a series of oxidation reactions through which pyruvate is converted into carbon dioxide. About 15 moles of ATP is released as a result of Kreb's cycle. The reactions of the Kreb's cycle take place mostly in the mitochondria. The Kreb's cycle is commonly named as the Citric Acid Cycle.
