State the unique characteristics of epithelial tissue.​

Biology
1 answer:
erica [24]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:  

Characteristics of epithelium tissue

1.Polarity- Epithelium is arranged so there is one free surface (apical surface) and one attached surface (basal surface)

2.Cellular nature– Cells in epithelium fit closely together side by side and sometimes atop each other to form sheets of cells. These sheets are held together by specialized junctions.

3.Supported by connective tissue– Attachment to a layer of connective tissue at the basal surface forms a layer called the basement membrane, an adhesive layer formed by secretions from the epithelial cells and the connective tissue cells.

4.Avascular– Epithelium typically lacks its own blood supply.

5.Regeneration– Epithelium cells can regenerate if proper nourished.

6.Absence of nerves (except for a few axons in the deeper layers)

Classification scheme of epithelial tissue:

Typically epithelial tissue is classified on the basis of arrangement and shape of cells. For naming the tissue types, the arrangement of the cells is stated first, then the shape, and is followed by “epithelium” to complete the naming. For example; Simple Squamous Epithelium.

Which of the following clades is most likely to survive a series of catastrophic events over time? (1 point)
marishachu [46]
The correct options are as follows:
1. D.
<span>A clade refers to a group of organisms that are made up of evolutionary descendants that originated from a common ancestor. A clade that will survive a series of catastrophic events must be one that is made up of distantly related and diverse species. This is because, those species will have different type of adaptability capacity and will be able to adapt in different ways to the catastrophic events. Due to the differences in their ability to adapt, some of the specie will survive the catastrophic events even if others are wipe out.

2. B.
The mass extinction of one specie usually creates space for another new specie to survive. The new specie that survive the old one may possess the ability to adapt to the event that wipe out the former set of living organisms and thus, the new specie will be able to occupy and reproduce in their new space. Mass extinction is said to occur when the whole population of living organism living in an ecosystem are wipe out as a result of unfavorable conditions.

3. B.
Convergent evolution refers to the independent evolution of similar features in species that arise from different lineages. The species involved usually evolve these traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments. Convergent evolution usually result in evolution of analogous structures, that is, structures that have similar forms or functions but which are not present in the last common ancestors of the species.

4. C.
 In evolution, gradualism refers to theory that states that evolution occurs slowly and gradually, thus, large changes in evolution are actually product of small changes that occur over a long period of time. The theory of gradualism was originally proposed by James Hutton in 1795.

 5. C.
Mass extinction refers to the wiping out of a a large number of species within a very short time. Mass extinction can occur as a result of severe unfavorable conditions that all the species in an ecosystem can not adapt to. An instance of this is a drastic decrease in global temperature after several massive volcanic eruptions.</span>

Fitness is determined by
Helen [10]

Answer:

Averaging the fitness of its members.

Explanation:

The fitness of a whole population can also be determined by averaging the fitness of its members. Absolute fitness is the ratio between the number of individuals with a genotype before selection versus after selection. Fitness is usually discussed in terms of genotypes, or collection of genes.
