Answer:
Flowers and cones have different structures. Cones when mature have a woody texture and is made up of scales while flowers have colorful petals, sepals and both male and female reproductive portions are called stamens and pistils.
Explanation:
The cellular process shown in the image as x, y and z are mentioned below:
X is Replication. It is the process by which double- DNA Replication is the process by which double stranded DNA makes its own copies. Each strand on its separation, synthesizes a complementary stand.
Y is Transcription. It is the process by which copying of the information from a strand of DNA into a new molecule of mRNA, with the help of an enzyme RNA polymerase.
Z is Translation. It is the process in which genetic code on mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
Answer:
1. Stabilizing Selection
2. Directional Selection
3. Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Stabilizing Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:
Example: For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.
Directional Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:
Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.
Disruptive Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:
Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.
<span>In liver, the most intensively studied transmembrane and intracellular signal transduction pathways are the Janus kinase signal transduction pathway, the mitogen-activated protein kinases signal transduction pathway, the transforming growth factor β signal transduction pathway, the tumor necrosis factor α signal transduction pathway and the recently discovered sphingolipid signal transduction pathway. All of them are activated by many different cytokines and growth factors. They regulate specific cell mechanisms such as hepatocytes proliferation, growth, differentiation, adhesion, apoptosis, and synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix. The replication cycle of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is intracellular and requires signal </span>
<u>Answer</u>:
Concave shape of the wave rock is a physical evidence that supports the evolution of earth due chemical weathering
<u>Explanation</u>:
It is the best physical evidence of collection in the earth’s evolution. The earth surface is 2.7 billion years old, also the basis for formation of Australian continent formation. The wave rock is formed by weathering of the surrounding area, which helps in proving the deposition part, as the wave rock was below the ground, occurred due to deposition of rock years over years. It is made from very tough material from its surrounding. The weathering reduced the surrounding terrain, while the bedrock remained to witness for the history.
