Answer:

D. habitat preference

Explanation:

Habitat preference is one of the driving forces for ecological speciation that does not allow interbreeding between the members of a species. In habitat preference, some members of a species have a different preference for habitat than the others. They live in different habitats and do not interbreed. Over generations, these two populations of a species living in different habitats develop genetic variations and interbreed with the members of their own populations only. Gradually, these two populations would develop reproductive isolation and would evolve as two different species.

Why does a hormone only act on specific cell types in an organism and not others?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

c) A cell must have the appropriate receptor before it can bind to the hormone.

Explanation:

Hormones are chemical signals that are secreted into the circulatory system acting as regulators within the body, and even though they can reach any part on the body, <em>only certain types of cells are equipped to respond, these cells are known as target cells, when the hormone reaches a cell with an adequate receptors it triggers a signal transduction and then a response.</em>

Therefore the correct answer is c.

Planet x is 45 AUs from the sun. what is its period

Solar System[a] is the gravitationallybound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly,[b] including the eight planets and five dwarf planets as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets,[c]with the remainder being smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the moons—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[d]

The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years agofrom the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiterand Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.
