Answer:

The correct answer is a. "exon; intron".

Explanation:

According to the article "Distributions of exons and introns in the human genome" published in the scientific journal "In silico biology", an average human gene have 8.8 exons and 7.8 introns. Regardless of having similar proportions, human exons and introns differ in their lenght. An average exon's length is about 170 bp, when the average intron's length is 5419 bp. Therefore, most of the genetic material is comprised of introns (90%), while only a small part is comprised of exons (10%).

There are multiple adaptations in the digestive system that increase surface area, list three and where you will find these adap
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

1. Many vertebrates have teeth, and chewing (mastication) breaks up food into small particles, expanding its surface and mixes it with fluid secretions, which makes it possible to digest. Teeth are located in the mouth of animals, where the digestive process initiates.

2. The stomach, which resembles a bag-like shape, can either fold up when empty and expand like a balloon when it fills up with food. By doing this, the area of activity of the gastric juice is expanded, increasing the efficiency of the digestion. Food enters the stomach from the esophagus.

3. The villi and microvilli present in the epithelial wall of the small intestine, are fingerlike projections that greatly enhance the surface area of the small intestine. In humans, this surface area is 300 square meters and it is over this large surface that the products of digestion are absorbed.
