Evolution can be described as the change in the <u>allele</u> frequencies of a<u> gene pool </u>over time. The process of natural selection acts on specific <u>phenotypes </u>and causes a change in the frequency of the alleles that produce them. A population of organisms with similar phenotypes that interbreed is defined as a <u>species</u>. Note that<u> </u><u>species</u> evolve, not individuals.

Explanation:

Evolution is the gradual change in species over time due to selective response processes.

Natural selection of species leads to overproduction of species, variation or habitability of heritable characteristics, selection of inherited traits or phenotypes which aid the species to better suit to their environment, and to enhance and maintain the species fitness to survive and thrive in their environment.

Natural selection leads to genetic drift or shift in the gene pool to develop favorable phenotypes under random circumstances through bottleneck or founder effects.

The frequency distribution of phenotyes follows a bell curve due to either directional, stabilizing, or disruptive natural selection processes. The group or population with similar type of traits or phenotypes which can interbreed among themselves are collectively called as species.

The evolutionary changes are exhibited or observed in the species as a whole and not in an individual organism due to evolutionary processes like co-evolution, divergent and convergent evolution.

A cellular organelle is a structure in the cell that performs a specific function.

Nucleus - stores cell's DNA; DNA replication occurs here

Ribosome - produce protein; "factories" of the cell

Mitochondria - breaks down food for energy to be used by the cell; "powerhouse" of the cell

Vacuole - store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals, and waste products

Endoplasmic reticulum - carry materials throughout the cell; "transport system"

A second action potential cannot be generated until ________.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

"Action potential is a rapid rise and subsequent fall in voltage or membrane potential across a cellular membrane with a characteristic pattern."

It is the mode through which a neuron transports electrical signals.

Explanation:

  • Option - (a) is the best choice to choose from,
  • <u>The refractory period :</u>

A second action potential cannot occur until the membrane has recovered or reestablished, this is the refractory period. The absolute refractory period coincides with inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels which makes it impossible to generate another nerve impulse.

Which of the following is a definition of the process of natural selection?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Mutations occur oftenly in organisms because it is seen as natural. Not all generations will give offsprings with perfect traits, They tend to have either 50/50 inherited traits from each parent of 100% off a parent if it was asexual reproduction.

Which of the following describes the path of lymph that just exited a lymph node? Lymph vessels, to lymph ducts, to tissues Lymp
klasskru [66]
The correct answer is B. After filtration, the lymph from lymph node travels to the subclavian veins, through efferent lymph vessels. The whole transport process is affected by smooth muscle contraction, changes in pressure and opening/closing of valves.
