Answer:

To answer this question, we use the Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA).

Explanation:

What is HOMA?

The principle of HOMA is that blood glucose and insulin concentrations are related by the feedback of glucose on β-cells to increase insulin secretion. The model assumes that normal-weight subjects aged less than 35 years have an insulin resistance (R) of 1 and 100% β-cell function.

In conclusion, the secretion of insulin from glucose release energy for the cell to function

Darker skin is more prevalent in high-UV areas. Dr. Nina Jablonski proposed a hypothesis to explain the selective pressure for d
skad [1K]

The answer is; the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects DNA from UV radiation, and UV radiation can cause skin cancer

In Africa, due to its equatorial latitude location, receives direct sunlight at more or less 90 degrees most of the year. These highly concentrated rays increase the UV radiation exposure  that can cause damage to cell DNA. Selection pressure, therefore, favored individuals with high melanin concentrations that protect against UV. Therefore population evolved towards high melanin densities in the skin.

Most biologists believe that _____.
MissTica

The right answer is C.

Classically positive interactions or facilitators between species are divided into two broad categories:

- those where the two partners involved benefit from each other: the mutualisms (symbolized by + / +)

- those where one of the two partners makes a profit or an advantage while the other gets nothing from it without being affected negatively: it is the commensalism symbolized by + / 0.


It may be that bacterial commensalism has an interest in its host (the animal) in the sense that it protects against parasites, or on the contrary, it favors their appearance.
