Answer:

Adaptive radiation

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation refers to the evolution of the multiple species from one ancestral species. The force which drives the formation of new species is the change of natural environment like the availability of resources, niche, and many other related changes. The species adapt themselves to these changes and get transformed into new species.

The formation of a variety of species of finches on the Galapagos island is an example of adaptive radiation. The species formed as a result of the food resources they received on the island.

Thus, Adaptive radiation is the correct answer.

How could stem cells prove helpful in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases? A) Stem cells can differentiate to form heart mu
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Cardiovascular diseases involves the heart.

Any of the above options with regards to blood (etc, white blood cells, red blood cells) are related to circulatory system, not affecting the function of the heart.

Stem cells performing apoptosis to remove old cells is a myth. Stem cells can only differentiate to form cells of the same lineage, not causing other cells to undergo apoptosis. The only external factor that can cause cells to undergo apoptosis is a type lymphocyte in the immune system

arlik [135]

Answer:

Human glucocebrosidase is used as a therapeutic drug which is used to treat Gaucher's disease.

The farming of this substances in crops is very helpful for the population. The genetic engineering to insert genes in plants would result in GMOs.

It is more beneficial to use plants for this process as compared to that of animals because it is easily available and easily extracted.

It is more economical and easily accessible by people. It would not harm animals by incorporating the gene in them in laboratory conditions.

Why or how are calories "wasted" during gluconeogenesis?
ira [324]

luconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms.[2] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process.[3] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. The process is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP to proceed spontaneously. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is also a target of therapy for type 2 diabetes, such as the antidiabetic drug, metformin, which inhibits glucose formation and stimulates glucose uptake by cells.[4] In ruminants, because dietary carbohydrates tend to be metabolized by rumen organisms, gluconeogenesis occurs regardless of fasting, low-carbohydrate diets, exercise, etc.[5]
