Actin filaments have polarity. This means that the two ends can be identified due to structural differences. The plus end is the

end to which subunits are added more rapidly. True or False
Biology

Naily [24]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Actin is a globular protein which can polymerize to form long filaments called actin filaments. These filaments are abundant in muscle cells but are also found in other places.

While polymerizing, the new actin monomers always join the existing filament in the same orientation hence the filament becomes polar. It has a barbed end and a pointed end. Barbed end is also called plus end because monomers are added to this end five to ten times faster than the minus or pointed end. As a result, the filament overall grows in the plus end direction. Hence, the given information about actin filament is true.

What secies reproduce rapidly in a new habitat due to lack of parasites and predators that would control the population
Andrei [34K]
Hi there!

Most native species that evolved with their habitat also have an array of natural predators and parasites to keep the population in check. The exception to this is invasive species. Such species are usually introduced into a habitat artificially and lack the natural predators and parasites present in their original home. 

Therefore, the type of species that normally reproduces quickly with little to no predators to control the population are invasive species.

You know that the narrow-sense heritability of milk production in Ayrshire cattle is 0.587. You perform an experiment where you
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

Narrow sense heritability - h​​​​2

​​​​​​selection differential - S

Selection differential is calculated from the difference between the population average and the parental population.

Breeder's equation:

Response to selection - R = h​​​​​​2S

Mean milk production of 10% cows for experiment = 8.9L/hr

Mean milk production of parental population = 5.1L/hr

Selection differential S= 8.9 - 5.1 = 3.8 L/hr

Response to selection = 0.587 × 3.8 = 2.23
