Answer: Limited Surface area - Volume ratio

Explanation:

Cells in various organisms usually have the same size be it a blue whale or an earthworm, a Human or a mouse or an Elephant and a squirrel. This is down to the way the cell is structure.

The Cell needs to absorb nutrients to survive while getting rid of waste material. For that to happen it needs an adequate surface area. The problem is that as the cell absorbs more nutrients thereby increasing in volume, this rise in volume occurs at a faster rate than the cell can increase its surface area so the surface area will keep shrinking.

Therefore, in order to have enough surface area to keep up the process of absorption and excrement, the cell will stop growing at the certain point and this process is similar in most if not all organisms.

Answer:

Frequency of SS dominant individuals is 0.57

Explanation:

The total population of rabbit is 650

Out of 650 rabbit, nearly 39 have recessive allele "s".

Hence, frequency of recessive genotype = \frac{39}{650} = 0.06

Frequency of recessive allele = \sqrt{0.06}

q = \sqrt{0.06} = 0.245

Frequency of dominant trait allele "S" p = 1-q = 1-0.245 = 0.755

Frequency of SS dominant individuals is p^{2} = 0.755^2 = 0.57

Lynna [10]

The correct answer is C) reduce the economic hegemony of the global north.

The emergence of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) countries has the potential to most likely reduce the economic hegemony of the global north.

For many years the northern hemisphere nations such as Western Europe, the United States, and Canada have dominated trade and the economic world in general.

However, experts have considered that the advent of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) can represent an important block to seriously compete with those northern hemisphere powers due to the size of their markets and cheap labor.

Although those BRICS countries have interesting numbers in Macroeconomy, they still have very poor people that in Microeconomics that contrasts the Macroeconomy scenario.
