Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) are born in freshwater environments and then migrate to the sea Near the end of their lives, the

y return to the freshwater stream where they were born to spawn. In freshwater, water constantly diffuses into the body and ions are lost from the body. In salt water, body water diffuses out of the body and excess ions are gained from the water. A salmon's gills have special cells to pump salt in or out of the body to maintain homeostasis. IN response to the salmon's moves between freshwater and salt water, some cells in the gills are produced and others are destroyed. These changes made in the cells of the gills during the lifetime of an individual salmon are an example of ... ?

Answer:

c. Acclimatization

Explanation:

Acclimatization is the process in which an individual adjusted itself in order to respond adequately to a change in its environmentm- in this case, the change from sea water to freshwater- and maintain good performance. Acclimatization  occurs in a short period of time and <em>within the organism's </em><em>lifetime </em><em>. </em>This last part is an important difference between acclimatization and adaptation, becasue an adaptation is a change that has taken place over many generations.

skad [1K]

Answer:

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Explanation:

The genotype of a color-blind man is X^cY and the genotype of the heterozygous carrier female is X^cX. A cross between X^cY and X^cX would produce a progeny in following ratio=  

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Therefore, the couple is likely to have 50% normal son and 50% affected son. Likewise, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.

monitta

Answer:

Complete questions include: Answer Bank: Guanine nucleotides, uridine nucleotides, adenine nucleotides, cytosine nucleotides.

Explanation:

Glycine Auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides and adenine nucleotides (Purine nucleotides)

Glutamine auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides and adenine nucleotides (purine nucleotides)

Aspartate auxotroph: Guanine nucleotides, uridine nucleotides, adenine nucleotides, cytosine nucleotides Both purine and pyrimidine nucleotides)

The amino acids glutamine, glycine, and aspartate provide all the nitrogen atoms of purines in a two ring-closure steps to form the purine nucleus. Pyrimidines are synthesized from carbamoyl phosphate and aspartate.
