Why does a female’s cervix dilate prior to delivering a baby?

Biology
1 answer:
cluponka [151]3 years ago
5 0

Effacement: The cervix – which is normally long and thick, measuring about 1-2 inches, starts to get shorter and thinner. This process is known as effacement. As the cervix gets more and more effaced, it gets shorter and shorter and “pulled up” into the lower part of the uterus.

Dilation: At the same time, the cervix softens and begins to open up – known as dilation. This widening, allows a smooth passage for the baby’s head and the rest of the body from the uterus into the vaginal canal.

Owl butterflies feed on mostly fruit, and owls feed on small animals. The images show an owl butterfly and an owl. How does the
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The adaptation in owl butterfly helps it to camouflage and also protects it from predators. Adaptations allow organisms to be better suited to their environment. So the answer is both 'A' and 'B' .

Explanation:

Owl butterfly use the concept of mimicry. It is a form of <em>adaptation</em> in which they fool the predator in thinking that they are owls and not butterflies. These butterflies have eyespots under their wings. By flashing them they look like the <em>eyes </em>of an owl.

Since owls feed on small animals, and small animals feed on butterflies, the owl butterflies protect themselves from predators. The small animals thinking that the butterfly is an owl, run away instead of coming closer. This way these small insects camouflage and protect themselves.

Which part of a cell is used by a virus to produce its protective protein coat?
Nadusha1986 [10]

A ribosome is the part of a cell is used by a virus to produce its protective

protein coat.

Virus produces a protective protein coat known as capsids  which serves as

a means of protection for the organism. The capsids are produced through

the organelle known as ribosome.,

The ribosome acts as a site for protein synthesis in organisms and the

capsids being made up of protein means the ribosome was used to

produce its  protective protein coat.

Answer:a) decreased chromatin condensation

Explanation:

During eukaryotic cell division a chromatin becomes obvious and it is simply a mass of genetic material made up of DNA and proteins which condenses to form chromosomes.

The chromatin primarily function in the compression the DNA into a unit so compacted that will be so tiny and can fit within the nucleus.

Chromatin condensation is driven by condensins and interactions between histones.

Condensins however, are large protein complexes whose central role in cell division is chromosome organization and segregation.

Chemical manipulation as stated above is decreases the rate of chromatin condensation.
