The correct answer is (a) Solar Energy

The difference in temperature between the equator and pole of the earth results in formation of wind patterns. The difference in absorption of solar energy leads to buoyancy forces which results in rotation of earth. This rotation of earth causes the wind flow. Hence, the solar energy causes wind to flow which ultimately serves as a source of mechanical energy in wind.

Why are genetic variation and selective breeding are advantages of sexual reproduction?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The evolution of sexual reproduction is a great puzzle in modern evolutionary biology. Many groups of eukaryotic organisms, especially most animals and plants, reproduce sexually. The evolution of sex between two organisms of the same species contains two related but different themes: its origin and its maintenance. However, since hypotheses for the origin of sex are difficult to test experimentally, most of the current work has focused on the maintenance of sexual reproduction. Biologists, including W. D. Hamilton, Alexei Kondrashov, and George C. Williams, have proposed various explanations for how sexual reproduction is maintained in a large set of different living things.

Mama L [17]

By predicting how the sodium-potassium pump becomes integrated into outer cell membrane. The prediction that is false is the mRNA coding into sodium pump is translated into the pump on two ribosomes.

<h3>What is sodium-potassium pump?</h3>

The sodium-potassium pump is an enzyme (an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) present in the membrane of all animal cells. It is also known as sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase, Na+/K+-ATPase, or sodium-potassium ATPase. It serves a number of purposes in cell physiology.

The enzyme Na+/K+-ATPase is activated (i.e. it uses energy from ATP). Three sodium ions are exported and two potassium ions are imported for each ATP molecule used by the pump. As a result, each pump cycle results in the net export of one positive charge.

There are four distinct sodium pump isoforms or subtypes in mammals. Each has distinct qualities and patterns of tissue expression. The P-type ATPase family includes this enzyme.
