Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.
Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.
Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.
Explanation:
Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.
Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.
The most surprising thing about the universe is that it we don’t know when it will end and it could end at any point in time. The most surprising fact about our galaxy is that it would take around 26,000 years to get out of it.
Answer:
Advantage of gene expression in prokaryotes is it occurs faster than in eukaryotes because transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, and regulation occurs at the transcriptional level. Whereas disadvantage of gene expression in prokaryotes is that there is no post translational modification and low expression of genes.
Explanation:
Prokaryotic organisms are single-celled organisms that lack a cell nucleus, and their DNA therefore floats freely in the cell cytoplasm. To synthesize a protein, the processes of transcription and translation occur almost simultaneously. When the resulting protein is no longer needed, transcription stops. As a result, the primary method to control what type of protein and how much of each protein is expressed in a prokaryotic cell is the regulation of DNA transcription. All of the subsequent steps occur automatically. When more protein is required, more transcription occurs. Therefore, in prokaryotic cells, the control of gene expression is mostly at the transcriptional level. whereas in eukaryotes, the DNA is contained inside the cell’s nucleus and there it is transcribed into RNA. The newly synthesized RNA is then transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where ribosomes translate the RNA into protein. The processes of transcription and translation are physically separated by the nuclear membrane; transcription occurs only within the nucleus, and translation occurs only outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Glial cells
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- The nervous system is made up of neurons and glia. Neurons are specialized cells that are capable of sending electrical as well as chemical signals
- Glial cells or neuroglia are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system.
- <u>Glial cells are cells that provide support functions for the neurons by playing an information processing role that is complementary to neurons.</u>
Answer:
The correct answer is - segregation.
Explanation:
The law of segregation states that out of two factors or alleles of a gene located in an organism, only one allele or factor is distributed to each sperm cell or egg cell (gamete) randomly, So, the segregation of the alleles are random and only one allele is distributed to each gamete according to this law.
The law of segregation helps in making a different combination of alleles in a particular species or population and leads to variation in genetics. It makes sure that traits distribute to each generation randomly.
