Answer: Mutations are the most fundamental way to add new genes to a gene pool.

Explanation:

Mutation refers to the process through which the normal sequence of altered. It may be either acquired or hereditary. It leads to addition of new genes to a gene pool.

The reason for not considering other statements as true are:

1. It is the hereditary mutation that are passed form parent to offspring's and acquired mutation is caused by external factors.

2. Acquired mutation are caused by external factors such as radiation.

3. Germ line mutation are important to evolution because they can be inherited.

The liver forms glucose from noncarbohydrates. stores vitamin

Viefleur [7K]

The propositions are:
a. forms glucose from noncarbohydrates
b. does all of these
c. destroys damaged red blood cells
d. stores vitamin D
e. forms urea

The right answer is: B. does all of these

*The liver plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates:- gluconeogenesis (manufacture of a new glucose molecule from a non-carbohydrate molecule);- glycogenolysis (release of glucose from glycogen) under the effect of glucagon;- gluconeogenesis (storage of glucose in the form of glycogen) under the effect of insulin
*It stores fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K and E) and glycogen.*It converts ammonia to urea (detoxification)*It recycles substances from the senescent red blood cells.

Changes in the gene pool can occur due to various mechanisms. From 1892 to 1954, millions of individuals emigrated (moved out) f

kherson [118]

The mechanism that affected the gene pool of the immigrants that entered the United States through Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954 is B. gene flow. Gene flow is the transfer of genes or alleles from one population to another. The migration of millions of individuals from countries across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States is responsible for the changes in the gene pool of the immigrants.

Based on her pre-pregnancy weight, if she is carrying a single baby, how much weight should sadie gain during her pregnancy?

fomenos

The number of weight gained in pregnancy should be different based on the BMI. Assuming Sadie BMI is 25-29.9kg/m2 then the normal weight gain for single pregnancy would be 15 to 25lbs.
Higher BMI will cause the normal weight gain become lower. For BMI >30kg/m2 normal weight gain would be 11-20lbs

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"

Explanation:

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.
