The resurrection fern (Pleopeltis polypodioides) grows on the bark of southern live oak trees (Quercus virginiana). Resurrection

ferns that grow on the underside of branches receive less water than those growing on the topside and, therefore, have a fitness of only 0.28. How many of these ferns will be non-reproducing?
a. 52%
b. 72%
c. 80%
d. 28%

Answer:

b. 72%

Explanation:

Survival rate of underside of branches & topside of branches resurrection ferns are equal. Let say p + q = 1

Resurrection ferns that grow on the underside of branches receive less water than those growing on the topside and, therefore, have a fitness of only 0.28

That shows and indicate that they vary in reproducing factor.

let the reproducing factor be (p) = 0.28

let the no-reproducing factor be (q) = ???

0.28 + q = 1

q = 1 - 0.28

q = 0.72

q = 72 %

7nadin3 [17]
Spiral galaxies have arms spiraling out from the central bulge of the galaxy and contain newer stars and has more gasses to form new stars. 
<span>Elliptical galaxies are normally formed after spiral galaxies merge. The formation is an elliptical mass of stars without any arms. When galaxies merge, the process destroys gasses needed to form new stars.
Elliptical galaxy we would notice more older stars and less stars in the process of forming.</span>

The LDL receptor is a receptor for: a. apolipoprotein B. b. receptor-mediated endocytosis of LDL. c. cell signaling via activati
tester [92]

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Apolipoprotein B is a type of apolipoprotein that bind lipids including cholesterol and forming the main organizing protein in lipoproteins such as in the low density lipoprotein. The low density lipoprotein serves as a vehicle to transport cholesterol into the cell through the receptor mediated endocytosis process. This process allows for the movement of larger molecules from the outside of the cell into the cell. Thus apolipoprotein can bind as ligands to the LDL receptors and allow for the transport of fats into the cell..
