Answer:

4568

Explanation:

The latest update on the number of critically endangered species is from the year of 2014, thus five years ago.

In order for a species of plant or animal to be placed in this category it needs to be on the verge of dying out in the wild because it has only very small number of individuals left in the wild that can produce the new generations. Unfortunately, the number of the critically endangered species has constantly been on the rise, and in the most recent history the blame for that falls on the humans and their activities. Some species that fall into this category are the Chinese alligator, Sumatran rhinoceros, eastern gorilla, vaquita, Iberian lynx...

What are the products of Anaerobic Respiration in yeast?
8090 [49]

The products of anaerobic respiration in yeast are carbon dioxide and ethanol.

<h3>Anaerobic respiration</h3>

This refers to respiration in the absence of oxygen.

In the absence of oxygen, both the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain cannot proceed. Thus, only glycolysis takes place.

The two pyruvate molecules produced in anaerobic respiration in yeast are converted to ethanol, instead.

Why is a parent usually a better match for transplanted tissue to a donor than a random individual of the same species?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: For decreased chances of rejection

Explanation:

The three higly polymorphic MHC 1 genes in human beings are HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C.

These determine the compatibility of the organ or tissue in the recipient's body each by the help of many alleles that segregates in a population.

This is the reason parent  may be the best donor for organ transplantation or tissue transplantation.
