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.

What manages muscles and prevents injury by monitoring the rate of muscle contraction?
IgorLugansk [536]

Golgi tendon organ manages muscles and prevents injury by monitoring the rate of muscle contraction.

What is the Golgi tendon organ? What is its primary function?

Sensory organs called Golgi tendon organs (GTOs) are found in the tendon next to the myotendinous junction. The Golgi tendon organ, which is located close to the point where a tendon joins a muscle, is a sensory ending that resembles a tree and is encased in a spindle-shaped connective tissue capsule.

The Golgi tendon organ is the sensory organ that determines how much tension the muscle is exerting when someone lifts weights. The Golgi tendon organ will prevent the muscle from producing any force (by a reflex arc) if there is excessive muscle tension, preventing you from harming yourself. Together, these monitor muscle length via the muscle spindles.

Answer:

Introduction In ecology and biology, abiotic components are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment which affect ecosystems. Biotic describes a living component of an ecosystem; for example organisms, such as plants and animals. Examples Water, light, wind, soil, humidity, minerals, gases.

c. Leukocytes (white blood cells)

Explanation:

When they do, so-called daughter cells are generated that have receptors identical to those found on the original lymphocytes. The result is a family of lymphocytes, called a lymphocyte clone.
