Answer:

C) decreased functional reserve

Explanation:

Ageing is a biological process which leads to the loss of function of the tissue and cells of the organism.

The biological ageing is determined genetically and can be correlated with the chronological ageing. The ageing is also influenced by the environmental factors which could interfere with the physiology, anatomy and morphology of the organisms.

The cell division cycle gets arrested to prevent the proliferation of these damaged cells and to remove the harmful factors from the body. This leads to the loss of function of the cells and tissues.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Two competing hypotheses to account for the increase in the number of Hox genes from the last common ancestor of bilaterians to
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The duplication of a cluster of four Hox genes is equally likely as the duplication of a single Hox gene.

Explanation:

This comes from the definition of the parsimony principle, which is the action of choosing the simplest scientific explanation fitting the given evidence, meaning that all other elements are equal when evaluating the hypothesis. In biology the best hypothesis is the one that requires the fewest evolutionary changes.

Since three independent duplications of an individual Hox gene is in  evolutionary terms, more complex than a single duplication or a cluster, then that hypothesis would be the most parsimonious.

Flow Chart What happens to food and energy when it enters the cell? Finish the description for each organelle. Step 1: Mitochond
torisob [31]

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells have specialized mechanisms to transport molecules along with membrane-bound organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum that provide a higher surface area for absorption and enable more efficient transportation.

Their structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do). In specific cell types, collected proteins may function as a unit called an organelle. Some organelles are bound by membranes like those that make up the external structure of the cell, with varying compositions of phospholipids and proteins. Several organelles facilitate the digestion of nutrients into metabolites and energy...

  • Step 1: Mitochondria break down food and release energy; In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes. The higher concentrations of reactants and solutes, increases metabolic reaction efficiency; these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is obtained via the breakdown of nutrients from food, and is stored within the molecule ATP. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate     (through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm) where several metabolites used for building other compounds are produced.
  • Step 2: Lysosomes... Some organelles separate proteins and molecules that may harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles for example, proteases bound within lysosomes can break down many structural proteins, and carbohydrates found in food, waste, and cell components
  • Step 3: Vacuoles... Vacuoles are fluid filled organelles which store concentrated amounts of solutes, and waste products. Specialized vacuoles are also used to transport components to the cell membrane for cellular export.
  • Step 4: The endoplasmic reticulum... Most proteins that function in the cytosol (such as actin) or in the nucleus (such as DNA polymerase) are synthesized by free ribosomes. Proteins that function within the endomembrane system (such as lysosomal enzymes) or those that are destined for secretion from the cell (such as insulin) are synthesized by bound ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The rest of the ER, which does not contain ribosomes is called the smooth ER,  and may contain lipids,  enzymes, and other proteins. As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen.
  • Step 5: Golgi bodies... Like a post office, the golgi complex, or golgi body  recognizes signal sequences and packages these compounds into lysosomes for delivery to their final destination. Lysosomes fuse with the plasma membrane to empty their contents into the extracellular space.

Which ecosystem service would suffer from the opening of a mineral mine along a small mountain range?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

D. Supporting

Explanation:

Ecosystem services include provisioning, regulating, culture and supporting services.

Opening of a mineral mine along a small mountain range will affect the supporting services of ecosystem because supporting services deals with soil formation, provision of habitat and nutrition cycle.

Opening of mineral mine will destroy the tosoil, landscape, forests and wildlife of mountain area which affect the supporting services such as habitat and soil formation.

Hence, the correct answer is "D. supporting".

A phenotypic ratio for a dihybrid cross is predicted to be 9:3:3:1. The experimental values are:
Maslowich
Two traits that we are examining are the color (purple/white) and the smoothness. 
In our sample, we have 135 individuals ( 75 +28+24+8= 135).

Since we know that expected ratio of a dihybrid cross, is <span>9:3:3:1 we can calculate what is the expected values of each phenotype is.

So, for the white wrinkled phenotype, we expect that there will be one-sixteenth of the whole sample ( there are 16 parts of the whole sample 9+3+3+1=16).
So, we multiply the whole sample- 135 with one-sixteenth (or </span>0.0625) and get 8,4375.
When you calculate the values for all phenotypes you get results shown in the attached excel table.
When you have your expected and experimental values you compare them with a chi-square test. (The test determines if the difference between the expected and experimental results is statistically significant).
