Answer:

Option C. Cells only contain the genes necessary for the building of specific proteins.

Explanation:

Each and every cell contains a gene which is responsible for the production of specific proteins for the body. Two different cells produce two different types of protein due to different gene composition. In multicellular organisms, different functions are performed by different cells which are different from other body cells due to the different gene and protein structure.

Which of the following substances would NOT transport readily in blood?

Levart [38]

The substance that would not transport readily in blood is : Triglycerides ( B )

Although your question lacks some data below are the missing options

Fibrinogen
Triglycerides
Monosaccharides
Albumin
Carbohydrates

Triglycerides are not readily transported in blood but it is contained in dietary fat which is been absorbed by the body through the intestine in the form of chylomicrons ( triglyceride-rich lipoproteins ).

When the chylomicrons gets to the liver, the liver disassociates the Triglycerides from the chylomicrons that is needed by the body for energy.

Hence we conclude that the substance that would not transport readily in blood is Triglycerides.

A high concentration of bicoid protein at the opposite ends of a developing drosophila embryo would result in the development of

Anna71 [15]

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be A TWO-HEADED FLY. A high concentration of bicoid protein at the opposite ends of a developing drosophila embryo would result in the development of a two-headed fly. The bicoid gene is a type of egg-polarity gene and is transcribed by nurse cells.

bezimeni [28]

Insect herbivory is likely to affect the competitive relationship between the species in that a plant affected by these insects will have a hard time competing with those who are unbothered by the insects.

Although I could not locate the Graph or options for this question online, I can offer a general assessment to help you answer the question.

Insect herbivory is when insects consume plants or parts of a plant as their main food source. Interestingly, this term also applies to those insects who do not harm the plant, but consume the pollen, etc.

However, focusing on harmful insect herbivory, we can assume that in the presence of these insects a plant will have a hard time staying alive or mating effectively due to the damage caused. Therefore, we can assume that the plant on the left will not be able to stay competitive.
