The immune system.
The immune system acts as a defense system of the body. It fights against bacteria, viruses and any other disease causing pathogens. Some chemicals can weaken the immune system and make them vulnerable.
Answer:
D. the process by which species change as successful traits are passed on to the next generation
Explanation:
Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.
The digestive process, inside the small intestine.
Answer:
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION:
-creates genetically unique offspring
-organism needs time to reach adulthood to reproduce
-requires the contribution of two parents
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION:
-creates genetically identical offspring
-organism doesn’t have to waste energy to find a mate
-requires the contribution of a single parent
Explanation:
Living organisms employ two types of reproduction to produce their offsprings. They are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction is that reproduction involving the fusion of two sex cells from opposite sex individuals i.e. male and female. Sexual reproduction forms offsprings with unique genetic contents, which is as result of the meiotic process that each individual organism undergoes to produce gametes or sex cells (sperm and eggs). Since there must be a fusion of gametic cells, sexual reproduction requires the contribution of two parents (a male and a female). Also, the parents only undergo meiosis to produce gametes at certain points in their life. Hence, they have to wait to reach adulthood to do that.
On the other hand, asexual reproduction involves only the contribution of one parent as the fusion of genetic material is not needed. Hence, the offsprings form by cellular division that makes it genetically identical to the parent cell. Energy is not needed to find a mate, the organism simply reproduces on its own by dividing into daughter cells.
A deuterium nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron. The quark composition of a deuterium nucleus is
A- 2 up quarks and one down quark
B- 2 up quarks and 4 down quarks
C- 3 up quarks and 3 down quarks
D -4 up quarks and 2 down quarks
The quark composition of a deuterium nucleus is 3 up quarks and 3 down quarks. Thus, option "C" is correct.
<h3>What is the composition of quark?</h3>
The quark composition of a deuterium nucleus is 3 up quarks and 3 down quarks. The overall charge of the deuterium nucleus is +1. Comparing the given overall charge to the chart of the Particles of the Standard Model, the overall charge can be determined from the combinations of the choices.
Thus, option "C" is correct.
