Organisms that originated in a certain geographic region and can only be found in that region are said to be endemic.
Explanation:
Endemic organisms are taxonomic species (plants and animals) which originates and distributed only in specific geographic regions. This state of evolution is called endemism.
They are said to be native or indigenous to that particular region which can be an ecological habitat, an entire nation, an island, a mountain range etc. Certain parts are known for majority of their species being endemic like St. Helen Island, New Caledonia Island, Hawaiian Islands, Southern regions of Africa, and Australia.
The species becomes endemic to a particular region because of the presence of certain bio-geographical environmental qualities of that habitat which are favorable to that species.
When these conditions become unfavorable, then species becomes restricted leading to endangerment or extinction of the species.
Examples:
- Kangaroo - Australia
- Nilgiri Tahr, - Nilgiri Hills, India
- The Redwood trees of West Coast of the USA
- Plants like kalo, sumac of Hawaii
Answer:
Disulfide linkage/bond
Explanation:
The tertiary and quarternary structure of the protein is stabilized by Disulfide linkage which is formed between two thiol groups in the protein. 2-mercaptoethanol is a reducing agent that breaks this disulfide bond.
A protein becomes denature when it loses its native configuration and becomes inactive. So as 2-mercaptoethanol breaks disulfide bond in protein it looses its native configuration and becomes denatured. 2-mercaptoethanol is used in SDS-PAGE to separate protein subunits. Therefore the correct answer is Disulfide linkage/bond.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-A.
Explanation:
The females carry two X-chromosomes in their cells but one of these X-chromosome gets permanently inactivated during embryonic development.
The X-inactivation is known as lyonization which ensures that only one functional X-chromosome should be present like in males. This process is a random process and therefore a female can have both the functional X-chromosomes and males can also have a functional X-chromosome.
Thus, option-A is the correct answer.
Baroreceptors. These are found in the carotids and aortic arch. They respond to pressure exerted on the vessels.
The correct answer among the choices presented above is option D. The uterus is a pear-shaped muscular organ that houses the developing fetus. It is the organ located in the lower body of a female mammal. It is a major reproductive organ of most mammals.
