Answer:

Damaged muscle tissue is replaced by fibrous scar tissue. This is called as 'Fibrosis'. Thicker than the surrounding tissue, scar tissue is paler and denser because it has a limited blood supply; although it takes the place of damaged or destroyed tissue, it is limited in function, including movement, circulation, and sensation.

Dense irregular connective tissue contains fibroblasts scattered amongst randomly oriented collagen fibers, whereas muscular tissues contain multinucleated muscle cells that are able to contract upon stimulation. Because the connective tissue cells cannot contract, the muscle will lose strength, and so muscle function will become impaired.

What second messenger most directly causes calcium ions to be released from intracellular stores?
NemiM [27]

Answer: adenylyl cyclase inositol triphosphate mainly known as IP3 causes the release of Calcium ions directly from the inracellular stores and causea contraction.

Explanation:

IP3, inositol phosphate is a second messenger a signaling molecule. It is made by hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid that is located in the plasma membrane, by an enzyme phospholipase C.

IP3 binds to the calcium channels and opens Ca2+ channels that are embedded in the ER membrane, releasing Ca2+ into the cytosol. Calcium ions released may cause contraction and regulate the Ca2+ channels in the membranes.

Apple maggots are a type of fly native to North America. Prior to the introduction of the apple tree to North America, apple mag
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

B is the most likely consequence because of the following facts we are told:

  • After apple trees were introduced, some apple maggots began feeding from and laying their eggs on apple trees
  • Adult apple maggots will only mate on the type of tree on which they were born.

This provides a geographical isolation (because they are feeding and laying eggs on separate trees) and reproductive isolation (because they will only mate on the type of tree on which they are born).

These two factors increase the chances that apple maggots feeding on apple trees will only encounter those who have mated on the same tree, and continue to mate this way. Over time, the populations (i.e. apple tree vs hawthorn tree) will intermix less and less. This will mean the genetic pool will become distinct, and natural selection will be acting differently (different habitats and different genes), encouraging speciation.
