If I'm not mistaken, it leaves through the osculum which is a cavity located on the upper part of a sponge.

Sponges feed through a process called filtration, which means that they filter the water in search of nutrients. And after they collect everything they need from the water, they need to let it out somehow; through the osculum.

Hope it helped,

What is ne function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

navik [9.2K]

Smooth ER, by contrast, is not associated with ribosomes, and its functions differ. The smooth ER is involved in the synthesis of lipids, including cholesterol and phospholipids, which are used in the production of new cellular membrane.

KatRina [158]

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the first option. Coral reefs are built by a small organism called a polyp. The polyp creates the structure of the coral reef by building a CUP out of a calcium carbonate. The skeletons of these tiny corals secreted by the lower portion of the polyp. Hope this answer helps.

Svetlanka [38]

Ptolemy's model was Geocentric. This means that it put the earth at the center of the solar system, instead of the sun, with all celestial objects orbiting it. The first person to prove the validity of the heliocentric theory was Nicolaus Copernicus.

guajiro [1.7K]

The ash trees are being cut when the show signs of infestation of the ash borer. Ash borer in particular the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a tiny bug but can really do a great damage to the tree. When the tree is infested with the ash borer, they lay their eggs in the bark of tree, when the eggs hatch the lavas would start eating on the inner tissues of the tree blocking the flow of nutrients and water in the tree that causes the tree’s to death. If the tree is infested they cut it down, burn and bury the wood to stop the spread of infestation. Ash trees are valued for its strength and elasticity that is often used to make baseball bats, bows, tool handles and other products that needs durable wood.

Answer: 60%

Explanation:

In population genetics, the Hardy-Weinberg Principle states that the genetic composition of a population remains in equilibrium as long as no natural selection or other factors are active and no mutations occur.

The frequencies of the genotypes of an individual locus will be set to a particular equilibrium value. It also specifies that these equilibrium frequencies can be represented as a simple function of the allelic frequencies at that locus. In the simplest case, with a locus with two alleles A and a, with allele frequencies of p and q respectively, the principle predicts that the genotypic frequency for the dominant homozygous AA is p^2, that of the heterozygous Aa is 2pq and that of the recessive homozygous aa, is q^2. The allele frequency of a is represented as p and the frequency of recessive allele is q.

The three genotypes AA : Aa : aa appear in a ratio p² : 2pq : q². If we add them up, we get the unit:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = (p + q)^2 = 1

And p + q = 1

Rh-positive genotypes are represented as AA (homozygous dominant) or Aa (heterozygous) since the presence of a single dominant allele is sufficient to express the phenotype. While Rh-negative genotypes are represented as aa.

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, that means that this percentage includes all those who are AA and Aa. Then 16% are aa.

F(aa)=q^2=0.16

then F(a)=q=0.4

And since p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, then p is 0.6

We can also calculate the rest, then F(AA)=p^2= 0.36

So F(Aa)= 2pq = 2 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 0.48

Notice that 0.36 + 0.16 + 0.48 = 1
