Answer:

Option D, the "biological ladder"

Explanation:

The food chain is the network of organism in which all are dependent on each other for their food, energy source and survival.  

The circle of life depicts the time frame starting from origin of a life form till its death and the intermediate stages.

The tree of life basically determines which organism has evolved from which other organisms.  

The biological ladder represents the development of species from simple form to a much complex form.

Hence, option D is the right metaphor

Identify which layer of the integumentary system each of the following is most likely to be found and provide a one phrase descr
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The integumentary system comprises the skin, nails, hair and exocrine glands. The average persons skin weighs a approximately 9Kilograms and spans about  20 square feet.

Phagocytic cells: These are found in the dermis or hypodermis. The skin layer that lies directly beneath the epidermis and above the subcutaneous layer is the <em>dermis</em>. It is made up of fibrous and flexible tissue and is the thickest layer of the skin. It thus gives the skin power and flexibility.

Phagocytic cells are cells within the skin that are designed for detecting, engulfing, and destroying pathogens (such as bacteria and other harmful organisms) and apoptotic cells. Apoptotic cells are cells in the human body that have spent their lifespan and are ready for replacement.

Keratinocytes: This is the most common type of cell in the human skin. It is mostly found on the Epidermis and comprises about 95% of the same.

The Epidermis is the most visible part of the skin. It is the part of the skin which the eyes can see. Its function is mostly protective. It receives all nutrition from the dermis because it does not contain any blood vessels.

Arrector Pili Muscle: Beneath the skin, there are tiny muscles that are attached to the base of a hair follicle at one end and to dermal tissue on the other end. These are known as the Arrector Pili.

Papillae: The dermal papillae comprise a little amount of the dermis. They project out of the epidermis. They aren't always immediately visible on the surface of the skin but tend to be quite obvious when examined under a microscope.

Melanocytes: These are neural crest-derived melanin-producing cells. They are mostly found in the lower layer of the skin's epidermis (also known as the stratum basale), the middle layer of the eye (uvea), the inner ear, the vaginal epithelium, the meninges, the bones, and the core. A black pigment mainly responsible for skin color is melanin.

Paccinian corpuscles: can always be seen in the deep part of the dermis of both glabrous and hairy skin. Structurally, they are very much like the  Meissner's corpuscles.

Paccinian corpuscles can be found in the Periosteum of the bone, capsules of the joints, pancreas, other internal organs, breast, and genitalia.

The attachment of nucleotides to form a complementary strand of DNA during replication
olga2289 [7]

Answer: is accomplished by DNA polymerase.

Explanation: DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a complementary strand of a DNA molecule during replication. The double stranded DNA helix is first unwind by the enzyme known as helicase giving rise to two DNA strands which serve as templates for replication. DNA polymerase then binds to a primer, a short nucleotide sequence and catalyzes the attachment of nucleotides to the primer to form a growing strand that is complementary to the parent DNA.

Patent fingerprints, or visible fingerprints, are left on a smooth surface when blood, ink, or some other liquid comes in contac
lana [24]

Answer:

Answer is option A (True).

Explanation:

The fingerprint pattern of an individual is unique as no two individuals have the same pattern and it remains unchanged. So fingerprints are considered as one of the main types of physical evidence that can be recovered from a crime scene for identification purposes.

The three types of fingerprint impressions are;

Patent fingerprints or visible fingerprints - They are visible prints that are left on a smooth surface of another object when foreign substances such as blood, ink, or some other liquid present on the skin of a finger come in contact with the surface. These prints are easily identifiable and are visible with the naked eye without any technological enhancements.

Plastic prints - They are visible, three-dimensional prints that are left on soft surfaces such as freshly painted surfaces or materials like wax, gum, clay, soap, etc when a finger comes in contact with that surface resulting in an indentation. These prints are easily observable and no enhancement is required.

Latent prints - They are invisible fingerprint impressions that are left on a surface as a result of the perspiration, moisture or oil found in the ridges of fingers. Since they are not visible to the naked eye, enhancement is required upon their collection.
