The correct answer is A. Is that which benefits others while causing a disadvantage to the individual.
Explanation:
In biology, altruistic behavior occurs as one organism actions benefit other organisms either because these actions increase the reproductive fitness or the chances an organism survives and prevails over time. Additionally, altruistic behavior implies there is a disadvantage for the organisms acting in the benefit of others. For example, wolves or similar animals take food to those that did not participate in hunting, which means they help other wolves to survive on their own cost as this means less food for those that hunted. According to this, altruistic behavior "is that which benefits others while causing a disadvantage to the individual".
Answer: D- Dicer
Explanation:
Dicer, also known as endoribonuclease Dicer or helicase with RNase motif, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DICER1 gene. Being part of the RNase III family, Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and pre-microRNA (pre-miRNA) into short double-stranded RNA fragments called small interfering RNA and microRNA, respectively. These fragments are approximately 20-25 base pairs long with a two-base overhang on the 5' ends. Dicer facilitates the activation of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which is essential for RNA interference. RISC has a catalytic component Argonaute, which is an endonuclease capable of degrading messenger RNA (mRNA).
Answer:
Neurodegeneration
Explanation:
The term neurodegeneration refers to a group of disorders which are characterized by a progressive waste of function or structure of neurons, that in worst cases can include death of neaurons.
Many neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease,– including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease can occur due to neurodegeneration.
Neurodegeneration can manifest itself in various forms such as lack of physical and intellectual abilities like inability to use muscles or memory loss. These disorders cannot be completely cured and ultimately lead to the death of neurons.
As mentioned in the question, the person suffers from progressive loss of intellectual and physical abilities that has occurred over the course of a long period of time. Therefore, it is most probable that he is having some neurodegenerative disorder.
