Answer:

D. The offspring of multi-cellular organisms tend to be identical to the parent.

Explanation:

The offspring of multi-cellular organisms which reproduce through sexual mode can never be identical to the parents because of <u>crossing over</u> which is a phenomenon which occurs during <u>meiosis</u>. All the individuals which have sexual dimorphism and reproduce sexually have germ cells in their gonads. Meiosis is a type of cell division which occurs only in germ cells not in somatic cells. <u>During meiosis the genetic material from both the parents is exchanged leading to new combinations of genes</u> as a result of which offspring is neither 100% identical to father nor to the mother. Offspring displays traits which are a combination of both the parents thereby showing variability.

Which of these is a disadvantage of multicellular organisms?
Alexxandr [17]

Multi cellular organisms are composed of many cells whereas unicellular organisms are composed of single cell. Multicellularity is indeed a progressive attribute of evolution where cells form tissue which forms organ and then organ system and finally an organism. Both multi cellular and unicellular organisms has advantages and disadvantages of their own. One of the main disadvantage of multi cellular organisms is that due to such a complex composition and functioning they require a large amount of energy for their maintenance and survival. Different organs and system require a huge amount of energy when it comes to comparison with unicellular organisms. A large amount of energy is also wasted in all these life processes. Though multi cellular organisms can survive in a variety of environmental conditions but then also their survival is difficult than any unicellular organism.

Check all that apply as characteristics of myelinated axons. Check All That Apply Myelinated axons transmit nerve impulses via c
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Myelinated axons utilize fewer voltage-gated channels than unmyelinated axons of the same length and diameter.

Myelinated axons are more energy efficient than unmyelinated axons.

Explanation:

Neurons are cells that specialize in transmitting messages to each other using a type of electrical signal. These signals carry information from outside your body to the brain, while others are the instructions for the various organs, glands and muscles to carry out functions.

Neurons receive these signals from other neighboring neurons through their dendrites. The signal then travels to the soma of the neuron, which is the main body of the cell, and finally<u> travels down the axon to the synaps</u>e (space between the end of a neuron and another cell). The axon is a neuronal extension through which the electrical signal travels, extending from the soma to other neurons.

<u>There may be layers of myelin, which consist of a layer of fat, covering the axons and where they have the function of acting as insulators to help keep the electrical signal inside the cell, which makes it move faster increasing the speed of transmission of the nerve impulse</u>.

1) Myelinated axons transmit nerve impulses via continuous conduction. FALSE. In the axon, nodes of Ranvier are found at regular intervals along the length of the axon in the myelin sheath that surrounds it. These are small spaces that expose the axon membrane to the extracellular fluid and serve to allow the nerve impulse to travel faster, in a jumping manner and with less chance of error.

2) Myelinated axons transmit nerve impulses in the same manner as unmyelinated axons. FALSE. In an unmyelinated axon, the movement of voltage across the membrane is due to ion flux that is limited by the time it takes for sodium ions to diffuse into the axon. Myelinated axons conduct faster because they are shorter than unmyelinated axons. In the latter, transmission is continuous but slower.

3) Myelinated axons utilize fewer voltage-gated channels than unmyelinated axons of the same length and diameter. TRUE. The action potential conduction jumps from node to node, thereby they need fewer voltage-gated channels. Unmyelinated axons need voltage-gated channels in along the entire axon.

4) Myelinated axons are more energy efficient than unmyelinated axons. TRUE. The rate at which sodium input through one node can depolarize the axon at the next node is related to the current and capacitance across the membrane. Myelinated axons have faster action potential conduction because it jumps from node to node, thereby they use less energy because they don't have to travel the entire length.

5) Myelinated axons would be unaffected by diseases that attack the CNS. FALSE. For example, Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the CNS in which the immune system attacks the myelin sheath or the cells.

The stomata you view on the surface of the leaves are used in gas exchange and the guard cells regulate this exchange. What do y
beks73 [17]

Answer:

They will collapse and shut off the stomatal pore

Explanation:

The guard cells are regulated by the presence of water. When water is present, they become turgid and open up the stomatal pore and when water is inadequate, they become flaccid, collapse and close up the stomatal pore as a result.

<em>If the leaf is left under the microscope for too long, there will be loss of water by evapotranspiration and the guard cell will become flaccid and collapse as a result and the stomatal pore will become closed.</em>
