Answer: Option 'C' is correct.

Explanation:

Every cells change with ageing.

As cell age they tend to become larger and as the body ages it tends to have fewer cell dividing.

As the age of cells increases, cells become less able to divide and multiply.

Due to which when an middle aged or old aged person get wounded, their healing takes so much of time as compare to child because new cells do not develop easily in old age people. It takes time to develop new cell to heal their wound.

Hence, option 'C' is correct.

Answer:

option D, smaller; fewer cells dividing

Explanation:

With aging a cell's performance slows down and after a certain period of time it dies. In this way several cell die in an aging person , thereby making an organ less functional.

The number of living and functional cells in testes, ovaries, liver, and kidneys decreases markedly with aging.

As a cell dies, it shrinks and reduces in size thereby expelling liquid out of it.

Also the rate of formation of new cells reduces with progressing age.

Therefore, as a person becomes old the cell reduces their size and hence die. Also the cell division process becomes slow

Option D is correct

neonofarm [45]

Answer: If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data of birds, mammals, amphibians or fish, the suitable outgroup to be used are mammals due to the time of divergence from other group of organisms.

Explanation: Phylogeny is used to determine evolutionary relationship between items or organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a graphical illustration of phylogenetic relationship. In phylogeny, an outgroup represent an organism that is more distantly related to other group of organisms.

In a phylogenetic tree, outgroup stands alone. It shows that the time of divergence of that particular organism is far from other group of organisms. Outgroup is used to root a tree and sometimes represent a group that is more ancestral on a tree.

It should be noted that differences in the DNA sequences of the organisms under consideration will determine which organism will serve as the outgroup.

sergij07 [2.7K]

The correct answer is D. species.


The definition of a species is termed as a group of interbreeding individuals cannot be easily applied to organisms that they reproduce only or mainly by asexual methods.


Species is termed as the basic unit of classification and taxonomic rank and also unit of biodiversity. It is the largest group of organisms whereby two individuals produce fertile offspring.

They are typically by sexual reproduction. Boundary which is between closely related species they becomes unclear.
