Finger- like projections facilitate absorption in the following ways;
a) They increase the surface area of the organ eg. small intestines to allow more area of nutrients to be absorbed. The larger the surface area the more nutrients are absorbed.
b) They contain many capillaries which helps to increase the rate of nutrients absorption in the small intestines.
The correct answer is option B, 50%
Let us take the following case:
Genotype of heterozygous parent - (Aa)
Genotype of homozygous parent – (aa)
Allele I - (Aa)
Allele II – (aa)
The cross between the two is shown below:
Aa X aa
Aa, Aa, aa, aa
There are 50 % Aa, and 50 % aa allele.
Thus, the allele I (Aa) is 50 %.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>An increase in the number of exons in a sequence of DNA would result in another protein with a longer amino acid sequence.</em>
<u>Exons are the coding part of a gene as opposed to introns. After transcription, the non-coding part of the gene - the introns - are removed by splicing and the exons are joined back together. The final RNA that will undergo translation consists of only exons. </u>
The longer the exons in a gene, the more the codons present in the corresponding mRNA from the gene, and the more the number of amino acids that would be translated from the mRNA. A longer amino acid chain would result in a different protein.
Hence, a mutation that causes an increase in the number of exons in a sequence of DNA would result in a different protein with a longer amino acid sequence.
Answer:
Melting of glaciers and ice sheets will cause coastlines to shrink and increase flooding.
Answer:
invasive species are a problem both in anthropogenically altered and natural environments
Explanation:
An invasive species can be defined as a non-native species introduced into a new environment which then becomes abundant. Only in the US, it is believed that there are approximately 4,000 invasive species (some examples include the feral pigs, grey squirrels, European rabbits, etc.). In general, invasive species have a negative impact on the ecosystem, especially by displacing native species and thereby altering the trophic chain. In anthropogenically altered environments (anthromes), human beings are considered to be an invasive species.
