Answer:
1. False
2. False
3. True
Explanation:
1. Compliance is the capacity of a container to increase in size to allow it hold more content. Blood vessel, arteries and veins expand (increase in volume) to be able to accommodate a surge in blood flow, which is as a result of an increase in pressure of the blood from the heart pumping of the blood
Therefore, compliance in the tendency for blood vessel volume to increase as the blood pressure <em>increases</em> not decrease
The statement is false
2. A large compliance is indicative of being highly sensitive to changes in pressure
Compliance, C = ΔV/ΔP
From the above equation, a blood vessel with a large compliance, exhibit a large increase in volume when the increase in pressure is small
Therefore, the statement 'Blood vessels with a large compliance exhibit a small increase in volume when pressure increases a small amount; is false
3. The compliance of the vein ranges from 10 to 20 times (30 times in some literature) greater than arteries. A factor which can be affected by the vascular smooth muscle contraction or relaxation
Therefore, the statement, 'venous compliance is approximately 24 times larger than arterial compliance, so as venous pressure increases the volume of veins greatly increases' is true
Answer:
Stabilizing selection
Explanation:
The process of natural selection selects a species in one of the three ways: stabilizing selection, directional selection and disruptive selection.
During the process of stabilizing selection, nature does not favour the extreme phenotypes of the population but the intermediate phenotype with the maximum number of population.
In the given question, the Robin laid four eggs, neither more than four nor less than four which could have more disadvantages than the advantages. Since the intermediate number of eggs is favoured by nature therefore the stabilizing pattern is observed.
Thus, Stabilizing selection is correct.
Human red blood cells are formed mainly in the bone marrow and are believed to have an average life span of approximately 120 days<span>.</span>
A.
Endangered species is closer to extinction
Threatened ones are closer to becoming endangered
