Some bed bugs had mutations in their genetic code which allowed them to survive the chemical pesticide and they produced chemica

lly resistant offspring. How can this be explained? A) mutations were planned out by the bugs B) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had the mutation C) bed bugs chose other bugs to partner with who had no mutations D) mutations involved the genetic variation of the bugs are random

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) mutations involved the genetic variation of the bugs are random.

Mutation is defined as a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a genome in an organism.

Mutation can be randomly caused by DNA replication errors, exposure to carcinogenic materials or radiations, transposons et cetera. It can sometimes occur spontaneously which are termed as a spontaneous mutation.

Mutation does not always result in loss of function. It may also result in a gain of function such as resistance to any chemical.

Similarly, in bed bugs the mutations which allow their survival against chemical pesticides are random.

Which type of muscle cell propels substances or objects through internal passageways? skeletal. cardiac. smooth. striated.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Smooth muscle

Explanation:

  • The smooth muscle is one of the three types of muscle present in the human body and other animals.
  • The smooth muscle is called smooth because of its smooth appearance without any striations in its structure.
  • The smooth muscle is made of the spindle-shaped cells characterized by a single nucleus.
  • The smooth muscle cells are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and therefore is involuntary in its action.

The smooth muscle is present in the hollow organs and propels the substances through these hollow internal passages like in the alimentary canal of the digestive tract and urinary bladder.

Thus, the Smooth muscle is correct.

Katyanochek1 [597]
<h2>Mesophyll cells</h2>

Explanation:

The most distinctive characteristic of leaf mesophyll cells is that they are filled with many chloroplasts

Mesophyll cells constitute the main body of a leaf, occurring between upper and lower epidermis

Typically, the leaves of temperate-zone plants have two layers of mesophyll cells, the palisade mesophyll on the upper side and the spongy mesophyll on the lower side

The palisade mesophyll is a layer of densely packed, columnar cells which contain many chloroplasts, this layer is responsible for most of the photosynthesis of leaves

The spongy mesophyll is composed of large, often odd-shaped, photosynthetic cells separated from one another by large, intercellular spaces, these intercellular spaces apparently facilitate the exchange of photosynthetic gases

Barnacles and mussels are filter feeders that attach themselves to rocks in the intertidal zone. A scientist observed a dense co
baherus [9]

The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.
