Aceosome contain an enzymes called hyaluronidase and acrosin. these enzymes break the outer wall of egg called zona pellucida, allowing the haploid nucleus in sperm cell to combine with haploid nucleus in egg cell.
Answer:
- Pesticide 1: Induces transition mutations. Rat liver enzymes convert it into a nonmutagenic product. Does not induce frameshift mutations.
- Pesticide 2: Does not induce transition mutations. Rat liver enzymes convert it into frameshift mutagen.
- Pesticide 3: Induces transition mutations. Rat liver enzymes don't have ability to convert compounds into mutagens. Does not induce frameshift mutations.
Explanation:
The Ames test is a technique widely used to evaluate the mutagenic potential of a particular chemical compound. The Ames test uses <em>Salmonella typhimurium</em> strains with a defective mutation that makes them unable to synthesize histidine. When the mutation is reversed, then the revertant strains can grow on a medium lacking histidine. A positive test shows that the chemical is mutagenic because its activity is associated with the reversed mutation and thereby the mutant gene regains its function. In humans, as well as in other mammals, many chemicals don't have mutagenic effects themselves but they may become converted into mutagens when are metabolized by the body. For that reason, rat liver enzymes are added to replicate the metabolic effects of the chemical compound being tested. Nowadays, current tests can express recombinant human proteins instead of rat liver enzymes, thereby enabling a better correlation between mutagenic activity and human metabolic processes.

Answer: Both mimicry and camouflage can enable an organism to protect itself against predators.
Explanation: A Vietnamese mossy frog exhibiting camouflage. Mimicry and camouflage are both adaptations that animal and plant species exhibit for the purposes of protection from predators, prey, or to blend in with their environment.
Biodiversity is essential in medicine as most active chemicals used to make medicines are derived from plants or other organisms. Climate change today threatens species that are vital to medicine. An example would be coral reefs. Studies have been done on reefs that look at fighting cancers, HIV and other ailments. One of the richest zones of biodiversity is the tropics and this region is under threat from global warming and deforestation. It is important to preserve these species for use in future medicinal research. <span />
