Answer:

Option D,whether the mutation makes some wolves more fit for their environment than other wolves

Explanation:

Mutation creating a new fur color in the wolf population will continue to persists in the ecosystem only when it makes the wolf population more fit to survive in the prevailing environmental conditions.

For instance , if the new fur color makes wolf appear as a violent species to its predators then as per the theory of natural selection more and more wolf will interbreed with colorful fur wolf species to produce offspring that are able to cope up with the environment and emerge as the fittest of all.

Hence, option D is correct

D. is correct.  If the mutation makes the wolves more fit for their environment, they will thrive and the presence of that trait will go up.

Answer:

15. D have specific gened activated

16. G cell division is unregulated

17. D providing information to form proteins

Explanation:

15. When an egg is first fertilised, the cells are very flexible. They are sort of like a "blank slate", and can become any type of cell. From these cells, all the cells in the body are created: brain cells, skin cells, blood cells etc. To become all these different types of cells, they keep dividing, slowly branching off and becoming more specific. This process is called differentiation.

They do this because different patterns and combinations genes are activated that turn them in to these different and specific cell types.

16. One of the hallmarks of a cancer cell is unregulated cell division. Oncogenes start as normal genes (called proto-oncogenes) that function in normal processes, such as the cell cycle, inhibiting apoptosis. However, when they become mutated, they can promote the growth and division of cells and prevent their programmed death. This is because they become more active or present in higher amounts following the mutation. This causes such functions in the cell to become deregulated, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and the growth of harmful tumour cells.

17. The central dogma of biology states that DNA --> RNA --> protein. The messenger RNA (mRNA) is transcribed from the DNA. It contains a message that is translated by the protein synthesis machinery to form proteins.

This is how all the proteins in the cell are produced, and the information for how to encode them is entirely dependent upon the sequence of the DNA, which is sent as a coded message in the form of RNA, to the protein synthesis machinery. The protein synthesis machinery makes the proteins according to the DNA sequence (as translated from the mRNA).

When an organism uses fatty acids, the ester linkages of triacylglycerols are hydrolyzed by enzymes called _____.
Brums [2.3K]

When an organism uses fatty acids, the ester linkages of triacylglycerols are hydrolyzed by enzymes called lipases.

Lipases hydrolyze triglycerides into their constituent fatty acid and glycerol molecules. Lipase digestion starts in the lumen of the small intestine. The surface tension of the fat droplets is decreased by bile salts so that the lipases can hydrolyze the triglyceride molecules.
