Ans.

A reflex action may defined as an instantaneous and involuntary action in response to an environmental stimulus. The reflex arcs (neural pathways) are responsible for the functioning of reflex actions as they act on impulses before these impulses reach the brain.  

Corneal reflex or blink reflex is an example of reflex action that involves blinking of eyelids due to corneal stimulation, such as by a foreign body, intense light, or bu touching) to protect eye.  

Thus, the correct answer is option B). 'blinking when light is flashed in the eyes.'

Describe how having dark skin may have provided an advantage in survival and reproduction to people thousands of years ago in so
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Recent studies have shown that dark skin colour was developed in the past for protection against cancer. Scientists claim that in the past natural selection favoured humans having dark colour as compared to humans having a fair colour. This is because humans having a darker colour produced more melanin which protected them from ultraviolet radiation. As a result, this skin colour protected more against skin cancer. Hence, Having a darker skin colour protected in survival and reproduction to people thousands of years ago.

A desert plant called Kalanchoe can reproduce, either with sexual reproduction through flowers, or asexually by budding off mini
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- will be called "Clones" with no genetic variation thus result in less adaptability to environment.

Explanation:

Plants can reproduce by both modes of reproduction called asexual and sexual reproduction.   The asexual mode of reproduction produces genetically similar offsprings in less period of time and thus helps in spreading of the species in minimum time as in the case of Kalanchoe.

The Kalanchoe can dominate a large area of the habitat using this mode of reproduction but at the cost of genetic variation.  

Since asexual reproduction results in Clones with same genetic material so the descendants of the plant will be less adaptive to changing the environment as asexual reproduction does not involve genes.

What factor limits the number of eclipses per year
labwork [276]

Answer:

"Option B. The tilt of the moon´s orbit around the earth " limits the number of eclipses per year

<u>Explanation</u>:

The moon's orbit is tilted only by 50^{\circ}. Around the sun when the earth and moon move, the tilt of the moon changes according to the direction of the sun. When the same thing occurs to the earth, the seasonal changes occur. The theory is all related to moon's formation. Due to this tilt the moon's road near the stars changes slightly in every month. The inclination is with respect to the ecliptic plane. If this inclination was absent then we could have felt the eclipse more frequently.

A hypertonic solution has:
BaLLatris [955]

A hypertonic solution has:

Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell. Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>What is hypertonic solution?</h3>
  1. The cell is in a hypertonic solution because it lost water through osmosis and shrunk.
  2. A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules compared to solvent molecules while the hypotonic solution has more solvent molecules than solute molecules.
  3. When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.
  4. An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution absorbs water through osmosis, increases in size and then bursts. Plant cell, on the other hand, does not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution as it contains a cellulose cell wall.

Thus, option "A" is correct.
