Answer:

The number of genes partially explains how an organism has evolved and how it gained complexity.

Explanation:

The number of genes of a bacteria versus an eucaryotic organism is quite distinct and so is their complexity. A prokaryotic organism like a bacteria has a set of genes necessary to exert their basic functions and the number of genes compared to a eucaryotic cell is 3-30 times smaller, which defines a direct correlation of number of genes and complexity. However if we consider only eucaryote organisms and their complexity there is no such direct correlation between number of genes and their complexity when, for example, we compare the number of genes of humans (approximately 18000) and the number of genes of the <em>Trichomonas vaginalis, </em>an anaerobic, flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis. The number of genes of <em>T. vaginalis</em> is far bigger than the human cell, however the human complexity is far more advanced than the parasite organism.

Hemoglobin buffers the pH of the cytosol of RBC by combining with ______ions.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

H+

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is the major protein of red blood cells. It has many exposed amino groups and carboxylic groups at its surface. These NH3 and COOH groups serve as weak acids and bases respectively and allow hemoglobin to serve as a buffer to maintain the pH of the RBC cytoplasm.

As the exposed amino groups of hemoglobin protein bind to the H+ ions, the free H+ concentration of the cytoplasm of RBC is reduced leading to a buffer action to maintain the pH.

How do the teeth of Old World monkeys and apes differ? a. Old World monkeys have a diastema, whereas apes do not. b. Old World m
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is D: "<em>Apes have a Y-5 pattern of cusps, whereas Old World monkeys have a bilophodont pattern</em>".

Explanation:

Apes and old world monkeys only have four kinds of teeth: <em>two incisors, one canine, two premolars, and three molars</em>. This dental formula is 2.1.2.3.

The old world monkeys characterize for having molars with four cusps joined by ridges. They have bilophodont teeth with better crushing, shearing and wearing capabilities than apes.  

Apes´molars have 5 cusps, a Y-shaped space between those raised points, and no transverse lophs. These characteristics are known as the Y-5 pattern.
