<h2>2) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Adipose tissue primary function is nutrient storage

  • Adipose tissue is commonly known as body fat
  • It is found all over the body such as under the skin (subcutaneous fat), packed around internal organs (visceral fat), between muscles, within bone marrow and in breast tissue
  • Adipose tissue is composed of a variety of cell types that include mature adipocytes,endothelial cells,fibroblasts and a range of inflammatory leukocytes
  • Adipose tissue is now known to be a very important and active endocrine organ
  • It is well established that adipocytes (or fat cells) play a vital role in the storage and release of energy throughout the human body
  • Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body
  • Obesity in animals, including humans, is not dependent on the amount of body weight, but on the amount of body fat - specifically adipose tissue
  • In mammals, two types of adipose tissue exist: white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT)
  • The main role of white adipose tissue is energy storage, fatty acids being released when fuel is required
  • The function of brown adipose tissue is to transfer energy from food into heat; physiologically, both the heat produced and the resulting decrease in metabolic efficiency can be of significance

Olegator [25]
<span>The answer is one in four plants had two alleles for the recessive trait. In the F1 generation of Mendel cross, all of the offspring will be heterozygous. After two heterozygotes cross, in the F2 generation, one in 4 plants will have two alleles for the recessive trait, one in 4 plants two alleles for the dominant trait, and 2 in 4 plants will be heterozygotes.</span>

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship among horses, donkeys, and mules?a. The horse and donkey are m
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

B. The horse and donkey are not members of the same species because their offspring are sterile.

Explanation:

The horse and donkey aren't members of the same species since the donkey has 62 chromosomes while the horse had 64 chromosomes and members of the same species need to have the same number of chromosomes. This leads to the mule having 63 chromosomes which is an odd number of chromosomes so it is sterile.

A cross between homozygous purple-flowered and homozygous white-flowered pea plants results in offspring with purple flowers. Th
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the offsprings all exhibited purple phenotypic characteristics, It shows that in the gene coding for colour in the flower of the pea plant, the allele for purple colour is dominant over the allele for white colour.

It further shows, according to the law segregation, that the gametes produced by the purple and white peas are dominant and recessive respectively. This Indicates that the parent purple-flowered pea is homozygous dominant (PP) while the parent white-flowered pea is homozygous recessive (pp), hence all the offsprings will be heterozygous dominant (Pp).

I THINK ITS THE LAST ONE BUT IM NOT 100% SURE!
Keith_Richards [23]
The answer is definitely not D. why would the cell dicard DNA? Everything is used and reused in a cell. The correct answer is A, after the helicase comes in and splits the DNA into two it just has to add the corresponding nucleotides and there you have it: two stands of DNA both containing a old stand and a new one
