I think the answer is 90%. According to the recent National institute of Health, Microbes in the human body estimates that 90% of the cells in human body are bacterial, fungal, or otherwise non-human. Despite the arguments that bacteria enjoys a commensal relationship with the humans hosts, only a fraction of the human microbia has been characterized.

Answer:

According to some research, the bacterial count in our body is 10 times more than the count of cells the human body is made up of.  

This means that out of every ten cells nine cells are microbial cells so at least 90% of cells in the human body are the cells of independent microorganisms.

Trillions of microbial cells alone present in our intestine which outnumbers the cells human body is made up of. Microbes live in symbiotic relationship with our body and play an important role in our survival. Microbes normally present in or on our body is called human microbiome.

Which of the following are NOT correct based on Darwin's theory of evolution?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.

Why does rattlesnake bite cause blood to appear in the urine?
Serjik [45]
Having broken down walls of Glomerulus would cause blood to appear in urine because instead of only filtrate passing into the capsule, the blood would also flow into the capsule and be released with the urine.
