Answer:
Plants and animals took up different evolutionary pathway millions of years ago.
In the prebiotic earth, the CO2 levels were insanely high, and the solar input was quite high due to which the initially evolved cells were photosynthetic , so that they can harness the solar energy, and because they need a carbon source, they relied on the Carbon from CO2.
In this process, the atmospheric gaseous content changed, as predecessors of plants gave out Oxygen over millions of years.
Gradually , the atmosphere was now oxygen rich and hence predecessors of animals evolved a mechanism to utilise this oxygen , and as a byproduct started releasing CO2.
Over the next years , these two diverse groups specialised and hence , became increasingly different.
Explanation:
Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population.
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yiels new species or offsprings that are genetically different from their parents, and causing uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles known to have been prevalent among the parent organisms
So, only option B is true
Answer;
-In the smooth ER
In certain kinds of muscle cells, calcium ions are stored in the smooth ER.
Explanation;
-The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the part of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which does not have ribosomes bound to it, thus not exhibiting the bumpy appearance shown by the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
-The smooth ER is important in the synthesis of lipids, such as cholesterol and phospholipids, which form all the membranes of the organism. In addition it is important for the synthesis and secretion of steroid hormones from cholesterol and other lipid precursors.
