Beyond durability, cockroaches are built to play defense. They have an exoskeleton to protect their soft bodies, and will hide whenever they're in the process of molting their exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is not only rigid but flexible to allow the roach to crawl into tiny crevices. Their legs are built for running

Answer:
Homeostasis involves maintaining a balance of several factors that make a cell healthy.
Explanation:
The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer that prevents that passage of water and ions. This allows cells to maintain a higher concentration of sodium ions out the outside of the cell.
The answer is B. Geology has shown a thin layer of iridium (a rare mineral on earth but found on asteroids and meteors) in the rock layers between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods. Below this layer are numerous fossils of pterosaurs and dinosaurs, but above the layer are drastically few. The aftermath of asteroid impact is believed to have smothered most vegetation from earth which dinosaurs depended on as a source of food.
Answer:
295
Explanation:
Antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins) are immune system-related proteins that circulate in the bloodstream in order to recognize pathogenic harmful substances (antigens) and neutralize them. An antibody consists of two immunoglobulin heavy chains and two immunoglobulin light chains. There are two types of immunoglobulin light chains: 1-the kappa (κ) light chain, which is encoded by the immunoglobulin κ locus; and 2-the lambda (λ) light chain, which is encoded by the immunoglobulin λ locus. The immunoglobulin light chain is a multidomain protein composed of two domains: 1- the N-terminal variable (V) domain and 2-the C-terminal constant (C) domain. V(D)J recombination is a type of somatic rearrangement process by which T and B cells can assemble different gene segments, which are referred to as variable (V), diversity (D) and joining (J) gene segments. In the question above the number of possible genomic recombination events between immunoglobulin gene segments can be calculated as >> (5 x 35) + (4 x 30) = 295.
