-All signal transduction cascades are shut down immediately so as to prevent the cell from mounting a response.
-Cells are unable to respond quickly to hormones, and therefore signal transduction cascades always occur over a long time.
-Cells have to be able to function alone, because they are unable to work together in a coordinated fashion.
-Cells often have to respond very quickly to changes in their internal and external environments.
These are all true except <span>"D. Natural selection usually causes a species to change suddenly," which is false. Natural selection and the subsequent changes to a species takes many thousands of years to have observable results. </span>
Answer:
Natural selection and selective breeding can both cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. For this reason selective breeding is sometimes called artificial selection.
Explanation:
Relative dating to determine the age of rocks and fossils. Geologists have established a set of principles that can be applied to sedimentary and volcanicrocks that are exposed at the Earth's surface to determine the relative agesof geological events preserved in therock record.
Answer:
Stem cells.
Explanation:
Stem cells are the undifferentiated and unspecialized cells. These cells have the ability to divide for indefinite periods. Due to their ability to divide, these cells can give rise to specialized cells. Therefore, the cells present in the mucosal surface of the gastrointestinal tract that has the ability to give rise to specialized cells are stem cells. These cells are required to replace the damaged cells with the new functional cells.
