Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Abnormalities occur in the chromosomes of living organisms. These chromosomal abnormalities are caused by MUTATION. Mutation is any change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene, which is found on chromosomes.

According to the question, a chromosomal defect that involves the exchange of chromosomal segment between two different chromosomes is called TRANSLOCATION. In Translocation, one part or segment of a chromosome containing genes breaks off and gets reattached to another chromosome in the cell.

cell membrane

Explanation:

When a bear is unable to find meat it will have a much lower fat intake and this will limit its supply of essential fatty acids which affects the cell membrane and normal body functions.

  • Meats are good sources of proteins and fats and oil.
  • The fat and oil is processes by the bear in the digestive system into fatty acids.
  • Fatty acid are essential materials that are used in making the cell membrane.
  • The cell membrane is rich a phospholipid layer that keeps the shape of the cell intact.
  • When fatty acid is lacking, the cell will suffer and the cell membrane can collapse.

Survivorship Curves for Three Different Types of Organisms
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

As the picture for the curves is not given, lets look at the type III species generally.

Explanation:

A survivorship curve can be described as a graph which represents the number of individuals which are able to survive to a particular age for each given species.

The Type III species can be described as those species of the survivorship curve which have a high death rate immediately after death. This is because these organism tend to produce a wide number of eggs and as protection is not taken for them by the parents, hence most of the fertilized eggs or zygotes tend to die. These organisms hence produce a large number of eggs so that some of them will have the capability to survive.
