Answer:
When a leaf is placed in a solution whose salt concentration is higher than the salt concentration of the leaves, the water with in the leaves shall move out of the leaves due to the osmotic pressure gradient. This will cause the plant cell devoid of water thereby leading them to shrink and wilt.
Explanation:
Answer:
The CTL has specific receptors that can recognize infected or damaged cells.
Explanation:
The cytotoxic T cells (CTL) is a type of white blood cells that specifically helps in destroying virus-infected cells (also damaged cells and cancer cells).
This type of cells has a special receptor called T-cells receptors (TCR) which ones recognize specific antigens (molecule that stimulate the immune systems because are “strange” to them). Virus inside a cell could bind to a special molecule called class I MHC, this molecule moves the virus to the surface of the cell where it can be recognized by a CD8+ specific antigen-receptor of the CTL.
Answer: A. Environmental drivers plus genetic variation in the population result in natural selection
Explanation: over geological time environmental conditions change. Organisms do not survive in one environmental niche with traits adapted to a possible future change that might suit those traits. Adaptation is not a matter of choice: adapt if possible or go extinct.
There is a (badly named) concept called pre-adaptation, which is that variations in some existing trait render adaptation to a different environment more likely.
