Answer: G. thymosin and thymopoietin
Explanation:
The thymus produces and secretes thymosin, a hormone necessary for T cell development and production. The thymus is special in that, unlike most organs, it is at its largest in children. Once you reach puberty, the thymus starts to slowly shrink and become replaced by fat.
I think the answer is D. ( or supported by observations ). Because theories change over time, they both NEED to be proven, they do NOT go off of consensus, but they do NEED to be supported by observations.
I hope this helps.
<span>The question above is incomplete, the remaining part of the question is given below:
1. Since more offspring are produced
than an environment can support, organisms within a population must compete for
resources to survive.
2. Due to variations within the population, some competitors will be better
equipped for survival than others.
3. The best-equipped organisms will survive and will produce well-equipped
offspring.
4. Variations that help with survival will be passed on to future generations
and will rapidly change the whole population.
Which point is flawed as written above?
A. point 1
B. point 2
C. point 3
D. point 4</span>
ANSWER
The correct option is D.
All the options written above about Darwin's theory are quite correct with the exception of option D. Charles Darwin was the scientist who proposed the theory of evolution by mean of natural selection. Darwin submitted that, due to the scarcity of needed resources in an environment, it is only the fittest individuals in a particular population that will be able to survive and produce offspring that share their adaptability features. As this continue from generation to generation, it leads to evolution, which is defined as the changes overtime, which give rise to new species that share a common ancestors. Contrary to the point made in option D, evolution by natural selection is not a rapid process at all, it is a process that occur over a long period of time.
The correct option is A.
Proactive interference refers to the tendency of the knowledge that one had learned previously to prevent one from subsequent learning. Thus, proactive interference is the difficulty that comes with learning new things due to the stuffs that one had learned before. For instance, an individual may find it difficult to learn Spanish because he has previously learn German.<span />
