The over-harvesting is one of the biggest threats to endangered species.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • An organism or group of organism or species that is expected to reach extinction in the immediate future, either internationally or under a limited political authority, is understood as an endangered species.
  • This may be at threat because of factors including habitat loss and poaching or over-exploitation.
  • There are many species which are getting vanished day by day due to pollution or poaching, for an instance, pangolins, who have been hunted beyond he limits for their skin, scales, meat, and some body parts are utilized by people in making traditional medicine.
  • The Indian and Philippine pangolin are listed as endangered while the Sunda and the Chinese pangolin are rated as critically endangered by the IUCN, which contributed to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) prohibiting global trade that had something to do with pangolins or their components.

Which of the following chemicals opens us binding sites allowing muscle filaments to connect to each other? Select one:
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

Calcium plays an important role in muscle contraction as they are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum after they receive electric impulse.

Calcium triggers the muscle contraction cycle as these calcium ions bind to the troponin-tropomyosin complex. This binding exposes the myosin-binding site on the actin on which high energy myosin binds and cross-bridge is formed.

This cross-bridge formation causes the contraction of the sarcomere and therefore muscle contracts.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: a) true

Explanation:

The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell, without a single extra or missing chromosome. Meiosis, on the other hand, is only used for one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes or sex cells, i.e. sperm and eggs. The question is oriented to mitosis, <u>in which prior to this cell division, the cell duplicates its DNA</u> so that each daughter cell then inherits the genetic material. That is, the cell originally possesses 23 chromosomes, they duplicate to a total of 46 so that then each daughter cell receives 23.

The metaphase is the second phase of mitosis and meiosis that occurs after prophase where the envelope is lost and microtubules of the achromatic spindle (also called meiotic or mitotic) appear.

During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell and this balanced midline spindle alignment is due to the equal and opposing forces generated by the kinetochore brothers.

Then during metaphase, the chromosomes will line up in the center of the cell to be separated and go each to a different daughter cell. But the moment they're found there, each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent. <u>Because because there have been no changes or mutations in the chromosomes, they have duplicated and have the same genetic information.</u>

Fynjy0 [20]

For the generalized scheme of Alternation of generations (see p. 120), plants have two forms based on a genetic complement that are the Sporophytes (2N diploid) and Gametophyte (N haploid). The processes connecting the two stages are gametangia producing haploid spores and zygote cell growth producing haploid gametophyte. Group of answer choices

Which list gives the proper sequence of energy changes that occur in a hydroelectric plant?
ASHA 777 [7]

D

Explanation:

Flowing water has intrinsic kinetic energy that is harnessed to rotate the turbine. The turbine rotates hence gains mechanical energy because it is doing work. This work is used to rotate a dynamo of a generator which generates electricity. The mechanical energy is thus converted into electric energy by the dynamo. The electric energy is then carried by the power lines to the users.
