Answer: endothermy

Explanation:

This term describes the ability of some animals to use an internally generated heat to maintain body temperature. Their body temperature tends to stay steady regardless of environment. When it's cold outside such animals increase their metabolic heat production to keep their body temperature fixed. For this reason, the internal body temperature of an endotherm is more or less independent of the temperature of the environment.

Answer:

The adaptation to different temperatures

Explanation:

Mammals and birds share one common feature - they are vertebrates meaning that they have the vertebrata column or simply put, a backbone. In addition, unlike other animals, say the amphibians, these have the ability to regulate the body temperature through homeostasis. This is the ability to thermally regulate the body's temperature. This is done by the flow of the blood to the different parts of the body. Thus, the mammals and birds have evolve to share the common features.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

In Labrador dogs, black coat is dominant to chocolate, normal vision is dominant to progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and normal hip joint is dominant to hip dysplasia. All these genes assort independently. Two dogs that are heterozygous for alleles of all three genes are crossed. Using rules of probability (not a Punnett square), what is the chance that the first pup born to these dogs will be chocolate, have normal vision, and have normal hip joints?

BbVvHh x BbVvHh= BBVVHH, BbVvHh, BbVvHh, bbvvhh

Bb= black coat dominant

Vv= Normal vision dominant

Hh= Normal hip join dominant

probability of having a first born of these dogs will be chocolate, have normal vision and have normal hip joint is 0

Explanation:

As the punette square gives 3:1 phenotype having three black coat, normal vision and normal hip joint and one chocolate, progressive retina altropy and hip dysplasia

A gene on human chromosome 15 is expressed throughout the body. However, in the brain, only the maternal copy of the gene is exp
lord [1]

Answer:

C) Through genomic imprinting, methylation regulates expression of the paternal copy of the gene in the brain.

Explanation:

The pattern of gene expression wherein either paternal or maternal gene is expressed in specific cells while the other one is prevented from expression is known as genomic imprinting.

In the given example, the maternal copy of the gene on chromosome 15 is expressed in brain cells while its paternal copy is not expressed in these cells. Hence, the pattern of expression of this gene is regulated through genome imprinting. One of the mechanism is methylation of cytidine residues of CpG islands of the DNA that are more frequently present within promoters of the genes.

When the cytidine residues of these sequences are methylated into 5-methylcytidine, the transcription factors do not bind to these promoters preventing the expression of these genes.

Hence, methylation of cytidine residue in CpG islands of the promoters of the gene present on chromosome 15 could have silenced its expression in brain cells.

Compared to a cell with few aquaporins in its membrane, a cell containing many aquaporins will A. have a faster rate of osmosis
Aloiza [94]

The correct option is A: have a faster rate of osmosis

A cell containing many aquaporins will have a faster rate of osmosis.

Aquaporins are micro water channels within the membrane that allow for the exchange of water and other neutral molecules over the biological membranes of other organisms.

Due to the presence of Aquaporins in plants, they have a high diversity of regulation properties, localizations, and transport selectivity.

The rate of osmosis increases as the aquaporins facilitate the transfer of water at a faster rate.
