Answer:
Muscle fatigue is often reported by patients with Marfan syndrome although myopathy is not classically considered a component of Marfan syndrome [1, 2, 4, 6, 7]. In addition to apparent muscle underdevelopment, some patients report myalgia or cramps suggesting skeletal muscle involvement.
Yes, it's important to prevent damage to the nerve cells because if they were to get damaged you could get paralyzed. When your nerve cells are damaged the signals to move different parts of your body don't make it through to the muscles which leads to paralysis.
Answer:
B. Muscle
Explanation:
During embryonic development, three germ layers start to form in order to eventually go through the process of differentiation. These three layers are: the ectoderm - <em>outer layer</em> -, the <u>mesoderm</u> - <em>middle layer</em> -, and the endoderm - <em>inner layer</em> -.
The <u>mesoderm gives rise to the both skeletal and smooth muscles</u>, <u>blood vessels, heart muscle, cartilage and joints, bone, cartilage, joints, connective tissue, blood cells</u>, amongst other tissues.
Answer:
1. Stabilizing Selection
2. Directional Selection
3. Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Stabilizing Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:
Example: For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.
Directional Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:
Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.
Disruptive Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:
Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.
