C) Renal pelvis is the part of the kidney that acts as a funnel to pass the urine that is produced in several nephrons to the ureters.
Answer: A group that closet matches characteristics
Explanation:
A representative sample is a group that closely matches the characteristics of its population as a whole. In other words, the sample is a fairly accurate reflection of the population from which the sample is drawn.
A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.
Explanation:
The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.
Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.
It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.
Answer:
Frederick Griffith was the first scientist who discovered that cell contains some components that can be transferred to another cell and cause a permanent change(transformation) in the new cell.
To prove this he performed an experiment in which he took two strains of <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em> which contain one rough strain and one smooth strain. Rough strain was non-virulent strain and smooth strain was virulent strain.
So he injected smooth and rough strain in mice and saw that mice die when virulent strain is injected and survive when non-virulent strain is injected. Then he injected heat killed virulent strain in which mice survived.
Then he added remain of heat killed bacteria with live smooth strain of bacteria and infected the mice and saw that the mice was killed by non-virulent smooth strain of streptococcus.
After this experiment he concluded that cells contain some component later identified as DNA which can be transferred to new population of cells and transform these new cells.
Embryophyta is a clade within the Phragmoplastophyta, a larger clade that also includes several green algae groups. Embryophytes are the plants growing on land which include hornworts, liverworts, gymnosperms, flowering plants etc while green algae mostly thrive in aquatic environment.
The conduction of water requires vascular tissue called xylem. In green algae, it is not necessary to have water conducting tissue as the entire body is in contact with water. However in embryophytes, having a vascular tissue is an adaptation that ensures to provide water to the higher parts of the plant which is not directly in contact with the soil.
