Answer:

The theory of Continental Drift suggest that hundreds of years ago all the continents were one big continent called Pangea. Soon these contintents split up created the places that we live today. This theory was introduced  by Alfred Wegener. His colleges thought he was crazy, but later studies proved his impossible theory to be true. By the process of "sea floor spreading" the continents were then ripped apart and drifted to where they are today.

Flauer [41]
The answer is genetic drift (bottleneck effect)

<span>There are 4 basic mechanisms of evolution - mutation, genetic drift, natural selection, and gene flow (migration). Genetic drift is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population as a result of random sampling of organisms. One of the examples of genetic drift is the bottleneck event. </span>The bottleneck event means drastic reduction of the population size because of environment changes. The consequence of this is the reduction of genetic variation. This is what happened to the population of worms after tree falling.

Can someone please answer 15-17
yan [13]

Answer:

15. D have specific gened activated

16. G cell division is unregulated

17. D providing information to form proteins

Explanation:

15. When an egg is first fertilised, the cells are very flexible. They are sort of like a "blank slate", and can become any type of cell. From these cells, all the cells in the body are created: brain cells, skin cells, blood cells etc. To become all these different types of cells, they keep dividing, slowly branching off and becoming more specific. This process is called differentiation.

They do this because different patterns and combinations genes are activated that turn them in to these different and specific cell types.

16. One of the hallmarks of a cancer cell is unregulated cell division. Oncogenes start as normal genes (called proto-oncogenes) that function in normal processes, such as the cell cycle, inhibiting apoptosis. However, when they become mutated, they can promote the growth and division of cells and prevent their programmed death. This is because they become more active or present in higher amounts following the mutation. This causes such functions in the cell to become deregulated, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and the growth of harmful tumour cells.

17. The central dogma of biology states that DNA --> RNA --> protein. The messenger RNA (mRNA) is transcribed from the DNA. It contains a message that is translated by the protein synthesis machinery to form proteins.

This is how all the proteins in the cell are produced, and the information for how to encode them is entirely dependent upon the sequence of the DNA, which is sent as a coded message in the form of RNA, to the protein synthesis machinery. The protein synthesis machinery makes the proteins according to the DNA sequence (as translated from the mRNA).

What is the role of microflaments in cell division?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Microfilaments aid the process of cytokinesis, which is when the cell “pinches off” and physically separates into two daughter cells.

Under which conditions do most types of cells function at optimal levels
Scrat [10]

Explanation:

Cells maintain a constant internal environment; this process called homeostasis, ensures that cells obtain an optimal environment in which they can best function.

The endocrine system involves chemical signalling via the secretion of molecules called hormones into extracellular fluid. They bind to chemical receptors in order to cause specific changes in target cells, these lead to changes in the body's internal environment called homeostasis.

It includes the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands along with other regions. The bone, adipose tissue, heart, pancreas and liver are a few of the regions of the body which show endocrine function. The brain, or control center functions to receive and process the information from the receptor. Effectors receive the control center's command and illicits a response in the form of a feedback loop, that may oppose or enhance the stimulus.

Further Explanation:

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

For example, cells within the human body function at an optimal temperature between 97°F (36.1°C)  and 99°F (37.2°C). This is due to the optimal temperature requirement of the enzymes within the human body, which requires this specific range to obtain activation energy.
