Answer:

b. Cellular clock  is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Cellular clock theory states that cells can divide a maximum of about 75 to 80 times, and that as we age our cells become less capable of dividing.

Cellular clock theory directs on the lifespan of organisms. As the many individual cells do not remain to reproduce continually, so this theory implies that aging of the cells is a result of their reproductive limitation and because of cellular aging.

Cellular clock theory is the theory  Leonard Hayflick's that describes the cellular aging mechanism and it suggests that as the cell becomes aged it becomes less effective of dividing.

Help please I'm so confused
Sergio [31]

Hi,

Attached is solution diagram. You can see that true breeding means both have same alleles for purple PP and white WW flowers.

They were crossed to produce hybrid plants that all had purple flowers PW because purple was the dominant trait.

However, upon self fertilization of those hybrid plants, both purple and white flower plants were produced in 3:1.

Hope it helps!

Why does an octopus or squid use its tentacles?
spin [16.1K]
Octopus and squid have little suction cups on their tentacles. It helps with sticking onto food (so it doesn't get away) and also helps with sticking into things. If it wanted to camouflage into some rocks, it can use its tentacles to cling to to the rock.

Tentacles can also grab and carry things. Scientists have made tests where they would put a clam in a jar with the lid screwed on. The octopus would grab onto the jar and use its tentacles to twist the lid off.

Without tentacles, octopuses and squids would be pretty helpless and probably couldn't survive in the deep ocean.

Art [367]
Cora might have been diagnosed with another disease that presents similarly as tardive dyskinesia (this disease is a common adverse effect of antipsychotic drugs). Her misdiagnosis is most likely Sydenham's Chorea which affects people with rheumatic fevers. Other differentials include seizures and essential tremors.

Match the mountain range with its formation. 1. Appalachian 2. North American Cordillera 3. Aleutian 4. Andes A. Two continents
melisa1 [442]

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.
