Biology

alexdok [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The oxygen revolution refers to the increasing concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere around 2.3-2.4 billion years ago.

The studies have suggested that before the oxygen revolution the Earth's atmosphere was full of the hydrogen sulfide and methane gas in which the anoxygenic prokaryotes were evolving.  

The cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic bacteria evolved the photosynthetic pigments which performed the experiment and oxygen gas was produced as a by-product.

With time this oxygen got accumulated in the atmosphere and the oceans and became one of the factors of anaerobic prokaryotic, the condition which they cannot escape. Later the oxygen producing prokaryotes evolved and formed the first eukaryotes.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Why is myxoma no longer effective in controlling rabbit population?
Margaret [11]

The development of resistance to the disease has taken different courses. In Australia, the virus initially killed rabbits very quickly – about 4 days after infection. This gave little time for the infection to spread. However, a less virulent form of the virus then became prevalent there, which spread more effectively by being less lethal. In Europe, many rabbits are genetically resistant to the original virus that was spread. The survival rate of diseased rabbits has now increased to 35%, while in the 1950s it was near zero.[15]

Why is the blood-testis barrier important?
Rasek [7]
The correct answer is  C. Because spermatozoa and developing cells produce surface antigens that are recognized as foreign by the immune system. 
This is important because the organism will react defensively towards the foreign bodies and fight them instead of accept them, so this will make a big problem in the process of fertilization.
