Answer:
1. Signaling molecule
2. Signaling receptors
Explanation:
Hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, etc. serve the function of signaling molecules for cells. These molecules are released by one cell and bind to the receptors present on/in the target cells to elicit the desired response. Thereby, the signaling molecules serve in cell-cell communication.
For example, insulin hormone synthesized and released from beta cells of pancreas binds to its cell surface receptors present on the surfaces of liver cells and muscle cells to stimulate the uptake of the glucose from the blood.
Likewise, neurotransmitters released from the presynaptic neuron bind to receptors present on the membrane of postsynaptic neuron and serve to carry the nerve impulse to the postsynaptic neuron.
Answer:
Competition.
Explanation:
The interaction between the organisms can be beneficial harmful or neutral depending on the types of organisms. Different types of interaction are mutualism, ammensalism and commensalism.
The competition occurs when the individual compete for the same resources or for the habitat. The competition results in the exclusion of one species and determines the distribution of other species.
Thus, the answer is competition.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A mutation is any alteration in the genetic sequence of the genome of a particular organism. Mutations in the germline (i.e., gametes) can pass to the next generation, thereby these mutations can increase their frequency in the population if they are beneficial or 'adaptive' for the organism in the environment in which the organism lives (in this case, an insect/bug). The mutation rate can be defined as the probability of mutations in a single gene/<em>locus</em>/organism over time. Mutation rates are highly variable and they depend on the organism/cell that suffers the mutation (e.g., prokaryotic cells are more prone to suffer mutations compared to eukaryotic cells), type of mutations (e.g., point mutations, fragment deletions, etc), type of genetic sequence (e.g., mitochondrial DNA sequences are more prone to suffer mutations compared to nuclear DNA), type of cell (multicellular organisms), stage of development, etc. Thus, the mutation rate is the frequency by which a genetic sequence changes from the wild-type to a 'mutant' variant, which is often indicated as the number of mutations <em>per</em> round of replication, <em>per</em> gamete, <em>per</em> cell division, etc. In a single gene sequence, the mutation rate can be estimated as the number of <em>de novo</em> mutations per nucleotide <em>per</em> generation. For example, in humans, the mutation rate ranges from 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁶ <em>per </em>gene <em>per</em> generation.
