Cells in a cat's pancreas produce insulin, but the cells in its heart do not. Which statement best explains this?

Biology
1 answer:
Genrish500 [490]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: A. The genes for insulin production are not activated in heart cells.

Explanation:

<u>DNA </u><u>is present in practically every cell in an organism</u>, but not every cell performs the same tasks as the rest. This happens because genes in the DNA   <u>code for different types of proteins</u>, from enzymes to transporters, that impact greatly on the <u>function</u> of a cell; and these genes can be activated or inactivated which will directly correlate to the type of cell and the function that it has.

<u>If the cells in the pancreas can produce insulin but the cells in the heart can't it's because the cells in the heart have the genes for insulin production inactivated</u>.

The amount of mitochondria and ribosomes does not directly affect the production of insulin.

Which of the following is true about natural selection? ​
Anna007 [38]

The options for this question are:

- Requires genetic variation

- Results in descent with modification

- Involves differential reproductive success

- All of the above

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is d) All of the above</em></u>

Explanation:

The theory of natural selection explains that genetic variations occur in organisms of a species. Those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment are able to survive and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings, hence descent with modification. Through this phenomenon, evolution takes place with the passage of time. Natural selection favours survival of the fittest. Hence, all of the above statements are true.
