Biology

Answer:

The fact that mature red blood cells expel their nuclei, to expand their surface area and transport oxygen, can demonstrate that they cannot live very long.

Explanation:

The absence of a nucleus in mature red blood cells (erythrocytes) means that it has no genetic material and is unable to synthesize proteins to repair itself. This means a relatively short half-life for these cells.

A mature red blood cell circulates in the blood and performs its function for about 90 to 120 days, after which it is eliminated.

Regarding the other options:

<em>     B. Red blood cells can live more than 24 hours.</em>

<em>     C. The absence of a nucleus in erythrocytes does not indicate any relationship with cancer.</em>

<em>    D. Although they do not have mitochondria, erythrocytes can obtain ATP by glucose glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation. Even so, it is not related to the lack of nucleus</em>

Ocean currents are caused by all of the following except:
NikAS [45]
The answer is A: '<span>underwater landslides </span>'. Underwater landslides would cause a wave, rather than a current. Ocean waves are caused by energy passing through water. An ocean current on the other hand is a mass of water moving in a definite direction through another mass of water. This movement is driven by forces that could be derived from surface winds, tidal fluctuations and seawater density contrasts.

Which observation would be the best evidence for a recent founder event or population bottleneck?
Bingel [31]
The best evidence of such phenomena could be a population's genetic variation decrease.
When a population bottleneck occur it means that for some reason (i.e. environmental events) the size of a population is largely reduced. This leads to reduction of the genetic variation in that new smaller population. When a bottleneck occur, the founder effect is normally seen, which is that one population is established by a small group of a previously larger population leading once again the genetic variation, now though with a bigger population, to be very reduced.

What is the greatest advantage of using different methods that result in the same outcome?
viva [34]

The advantages of using mixed method are, the pros and cons can be identified and compared for each method. Thus option B is correct.

<h3>What are advantages of using mixed method?</h3>

Mixed methods in research is an advanced form which is basically a combination of quantitative research and qualitative research.

It can help the researcher to gain a more clear and complete picture as it integrates benefits of both methods.

Mixed methods research is used in the behavioral, health, and social sciences, societal research.

Qualitative research has smaller sample size, so mixed methods research is applied for the comparative strength of externally valid quantitative research.

Mixing methods allowed to get findings in detail to the conclusion.

Using mixed methods from different data on same subject can give more credible results.  

Thus option B is correct.
