Answer:
This is an example of "Disruptive selection".
Explanation:
<em>Disruptive selection</em> occurs when <em>selective pressure</em> <em>favor homozygous</em>. In equilibrium, <em>the two alleles might be present or one of them might be lost</em>. If an environment has two extremes, then in these environments, both alleles are presented in homozygous.
The disruptive selection causes an <em>increase</em> in the two types of <em>extreme phenotypes over the intermediate forms</em>. Limits between one extreme and the other are frequently very sharped. Individuals belonging to one phenotype can not live in the same area as individuals belonging to the other phenotype, due to the traits differences between them, competition, or predation.
Populations show two favored extreme phenotypes and a few individuals in the middle. Individuals who survive best are the ones who have traits on the <u>extremes forms</u>. Individuals in <u>the middle</u> are not successful at survival or reproduction.
<em>Color</em> is very important when it comes to <em>camouflage</em>. Dark green caterpillars that live in dark foliage and light green caterpillars that live in light foliage can <em>hide from predators</em> more effectively and will live the longest. Intermediate colored green caterpillars that don't camouflage or blend into either will be eaten more quickly.
Answer:
C) Platelets
Explanation:
Hemophilia is caused by a lack of clotting factors. Because platelets (or lack thereof) are what is responsible for how the blood clots, it can be reasonably inferred that the answer is C.
(Platelets secrete procoagualants, which are clotting factors. If there is a genetic issue with how these clotting factors work, then the platelets will not be useful.)
A target cell respond to a hormone because it bears receptors
Answer:
Bacteria
Explanation:
There are two kinds of cells found in/on the human body that lacks nucleus
- Red blood cells
- Bacteria
Since the material observed under the microscope was scraped from under the finger nails and there was no indication of broken skin, it is likely that the observed cells are bacteria.
Answer: Attenuation
Explanation: Natural attenuation: in this method, the natural physical, chemical, and biological processes in soil and water gradually break down contamination or pollutants into harmless components. It helps reduce contamination concentration and soil and water to acceptable levels. Examples of natural attenuation processes include
- dilution or dispersal of pollutants in moving water
- volatilization or reduction of pollutants into vapor
- absorption or attachment of balloons to soil or vegetation
These processes are accomplish naturally. Little or no human intervention is necessary.
