Compare the rates of cell division occurring in your neurons and your hair follicles.

Biology
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
5 0

Once you finish growing to adulthood, neurons stop dividing. Hair follicle cells constantly divide throughout your lifetime since they are constantly producing cells that become part of the hair itself as they die. So in an adult, the rate of cell division for neurons is zero (although there is some counter-evidence but it is certainly very low) while the hair follicle rate is much higher on the order of once every few days or faster.

Len [333]
The white adipose serves as the body's chief storage site for lipids.

Lipids are stored in the body in different forms such as, triglycerides, fat cells, cell membranes and lipoproteins. Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes.

HELP ME pLSSSS I’ll give u 100 points after if u helpppppp
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Allele G represents the strong jaw, and allele g represents the weak jaw. This is because as the generations go by, allele G’s population increases, but allele g’s population decreases. If hard shelled animals are the only foods available to them, you would need a strong jaw to eat them. This means that allele g wouldn’t be able to eat these reptiles, so their population would decrease from lack of food.
