Why are cells so small? ... As a cell grows bigger, its internal volume enlarges and the cell membrane expands. Unfortunately, the volume increases more rapidly than does the surface area, and so the relative amount of surface area available to pass materials to a unit volume of the cell steadily decreases.

What is the function of a circulatory system? a) It brings a transport liquid into close contact with all cells in the body. b)

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) It brings a transport liquid into close contact with all cells in the body.

Explanation:

The circulatory system helps in bringing the blood which is a transport liquid in close contact with the cells present in our body. This helps in gas exchange between cells and blood. The circulation of blood in the body occurs by the pumping of blood by the heart into arteries, veins, and capillaries.

This circulation of blood plays many other vital functions like transport of nutrients to the cells, transport of waste products from the cell to outside the body, transport of hormones, maintenance of body temperature, etc.

So all these processes become possible when transport liquid comes in contact with the cells. Therefore the right answer is a.

One hypothesis that explains the result is : A) Two genes are involved with 12:3:1 epistasis, such that A_B_ and A_bb are black, aaB_ is brown,and aabb is green.

Explanation:

This is a case of Dominant Epistasis.
When two genes are involved and presence of dominant allele of one gene masks the effect of either allele of the second gene then the epistasis is termed as dominant epistasis.
In the given case black :brown: green ratio is approximately equal to 12:3:1.
Here presence of a dominant A allele that is responsible for the black colour masks the effect of either allele of B. Therefore A_B_ and A_bb produces black beetles
Again , absence of dominant A allows B to express itself and Brown beetles are produced thus aaB_ is brown.
When both the genes are present as recessive alleles, neither brown nor black colour is expressed and the beetles are green.Thus, aabb are green.
