The microvillus are tiny hair- like membrane that greatly increase the amount of surface area of the cells for better reception. It plays a major role in the tongue that are responsible for sending signals to the brain which then decides the taste of the food particle that is on the tongue.

The long and slender structure gives greater space for absorbing the data and then convert them into signals. Hence the microvillus are the slender projections on the tips of some taste bud cells that extend into the taste pores

Heterozygous:
This means that the organism has a set of alleles which are different from one another. One copy may be for the dominant trait and the other for the recessive one.

Homozygous: 
The organism has two copies of the same allele

Dominant:
An allele that will express itself even if only one copy of it is present. These are usually represented by capital letters.

Recessive:
An allele that requires both copies to be expressed. These are usually represented by lower-case letters.


A: Heterozygous

B: homozygous recessive

C: Homozygous dominant

D: Homozygous recessive

Sketch and label a food-web that includes at least 6 different items. Make
astra-53 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Example of a food-web:

(1) Algae --> (2) Protozoas --> (3) Krill --> (4) Cephallopods --> (5) Medium sized dolphin --> (6) Large Dolphin

The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one.

1) The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. In this example, the autotroph organisms are algae, that make use of sunlight and inorganic matter.

The next links are the consumers:

2) Herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. In this example, herbivore organisms are protozoan.

3) Krills are the secondary consumers and feed on protozoans.

4) Some species of cephalopods feed on krill, among other species.

5) Specialized Cetaceans such as the Risso´s dolphin, feed especially on cephalopods, as they lack upper teeth and they only have a few teeth in their jaws.

6) The killer whale is a big sized-dolphin and a very important predator. It feeds on many animals, and one of them is the Risso´s dolphin.

Comparison of the excretory system of a rat, frog and human
yaroslaw [1]
In general, the function of the excretory system is,  removal of nitrogen waste products from the bloodstream and transport out of the body through urine. It maintains the balance of fluids and electrolytes, control of red blood cells, regulation of blood pressure and also the formation of red bone marrow.
In humans, the excretory system is responsible for removing waste from the body. Metabolic waste is being removed from the blood and an appropriate amount of water nutrients and water and salt are being retained.
In frogs, the excretory system consists of a pair of ureters, kidney pairs, cloaca, and urinary bladder. Frogs take in liquid waste from kidney which removes wastes and then the extra water becomes urine which then it is collected in the urinary bladder through ureters.
The urinary bladder is present in ventral to return then both open into the cloaca.
