<span>The cytoskeleton is a
structure found in the cytoplasm that is composed of a web of proteins. It is a
network composed of protein microfilaments, intermediate
filaments, and microtubules. They can be found in all living organisms and are
responsible for giving them their distinct cell shapes and coherence.
Aside from
providing the cell shape, the cytoskeleton is also responsible for cell
movement, organelle movement, and cell division.</span>
<span>It plays a crucial role in
cell division because they provide the movement of chromosomes to the daughter
nucleus. The absence of these protein filaments would result to different
abnormalities and diseases in the genes. </span>
I think it'd be B.. I might be wrong tho..
Answer:
<u>C) They may provide selective advantages.
</u>
<u>D) Slight differences in the genetic code may have significant results.</u>
Explanation:
The genetic code is universal, and present in most living beings . Generally, in most living organisms, the same codons are assigned to the same amino acids.
DNA sequences make up genes that may have multiple variants, called alleles. DNA deoxyribonucleic acid, is transcribed into mRNA and then translated into amino acids that form proteins.
Natural selection mainly acts on phenotypes, which are dependent on proteins and the organisms's environment. Phenotypes conferring advantageous traits are favored by the selection process- these help groups of organisms evolve over time.
During bleeding, both formed elements (platelets, white blood cells, red blood cells) and plasma are lost from the circulatory system. They are lost proportionally, so initially there is no change in hematocrit.
Hematocrit is the percentage of the blood volume made up of elements (Hct = cell volume/blood volume). During dehydration, only water and electrolytes are lost, and the number of cells remains constant - the same number of cells in a smaller volume leads to an increase in hematocrit. When the body tries to restore blood volume, the first thing to recirculate is water from the ECF and this increases the amount of water without increasing the amount of red blood cells, so the compensatory mechanism causes the hematocrit to fall.
