Answer:
B) ecological succession
Explanation:
The analogy given in this question describes ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION, which is the series of changes that an ecosystem undergoes over a period of time. Ecological succession is of two types viz: Primary succession and Secondary succession.
Primary succession involves the series of changes that occurs on a new habitat that has never been previously colonized. This is the case of the colonization of bare rocks with no plant life by LICHENS. The action of the lichen, which involves secretion of acids that disintegrates the rocks into soil, paves way for the colonization of that area by new species.
Lichens, via the role they play in primary succession by helping alter a barren area into a fertile one that accommodates other organisms, makes them be regarded as PIONEERS of primary succession.
Answer:
A mutation in Ras protein which will cause hyperactivity will eventually lead to cancer.
Explanation:
Ras protein was first discovered in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and it is a proto-oncogene product. In normal conditions, it plays an important role in cellular signalling but in case of gain of function/hyperactivity it gets converted into cellular oncogene. In several types of cancers a point mutation has been reported in Ras protein.
Just like G protein, it is also a GTPase switch protein but unlike G protein which is trimeric, it is monomeric. In the plasma membrane, it is attached with the help of lipids like prenyl or palmitoyl groups. During signal transduction pathway when it gets activated, it downstream activates MAPK pathway and causes gene expression but when it gets hyperactivated it causes over expression of genes leading to cancer.
Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:
A. a lack of urban health care capacity
B. cultural disregard for women and women's health
C. prudence's family medical history
D. a lack of previous medical problems
Answer:
C. prudence's family medical history
Explanation:
Sociological factors include the factors related to human society. These factors stem from the way a society functions and effects the people which are a part of it. The way the society is structured and developed, impacts the people.
Prudence died during childbirth. There can be many sociological causes of her death like low status of women or poor medical facilities in her society. However, her family medical history will not be considered a sociological factor. Family medical history also depends on other factors like genetic composition of the family which is not a sociological factor.
Answer:
For someone who doesn't know the importance of carrying capacity, i would advice him to understand what carrying capacity mean, and then tell him that he should not overcrowd the population of animals or be part of humans overcrowding as it can destroy the ecosystem or resources.
Explanation:
This is because, carrying capacity is the population size that can conviniently live in an habitat with the available resources..
It's very important because, it will ensure that the population size that the resources can sustain can live in the environment so as to prevent degradation of the ecosystem or the environment due to increase in population size.
