The answer is C

Environmental DNA (eDNA) surveillance

Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to DNA that can be extracted from environmental samples, such as water, soil or faeces, without first isolating any target organisms. It can also result from the decomposition of dead organisms. All living organisms, regardless of their size or ecology, leave traces of DNA in their environments, reflecting their current or past presence. eDNA is characterized by a complex mixture of nuclear, mitochondrial or chloroplast DNA, and can be intracellular (from living cells) or extracellular. It enables the detection of a species regardless of its life stage or gender. This technology has the potential to eliminate the need to capture or visually detect a target species, making it a particularly attractive alternative as a stand-alone assay for organisms that are hard to capture, difficult to collect, or that have small populations.

Which statement describes a similarity between the calcium pump and the sodium-potassium pump? Both pumps move substances from h

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The correct answer is both pumps use proteins to transport substances across the cell membrane.

Explanation:

Sodium potassium pump helps in the active transport or uphill transport of both sodium and potassium across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.

Whereas Ca2+ATPase or calcium pump itself is a trans membrane or membrane spanning protein which helps in the transport of Ca2+ outside the cell to maintain electrochemical potential of Ca2+ ions.
