The basic unit of the cell membrane is Phospholipid.

Option (d);

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • The cells are smaller in size forms the basic unit or part in living organisms.
  • Each cell has a cell membrane that covers the cell and keeps all the contents inside.
  • The structure of this cell membrane is mainly classified into two layers of lipids or fats altogether called Phospholipids.
  • Cell membrane is also called Plasma membrane.
  • Phospholipids have a hydrophilic head, that can dissolve in water and a hydrophobic tail, that cannot be dissolved in water.

Oth seagulls and wild geese are large birds. they're also similar in that both kinds of birds can fly over great distances. on t
rusak2 [61]
The correct option is A, FEEDING HABIT AND MIGRATION. From the passage given above, it can be seen that seagulls are scavengers, they usually eat from garbage dumps while wild geese eat seeds and insects, thus they differ in feeding habit. In term of migration, seagulls does not follow seasonal pattern of annual migration while wild geese do. These are the contrasts between the two birds.

Provide an adaptive and a nonadaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of useless organs, such as eyes in many cave-dwelling
Zepler [3.9K]

In order to be able to Provide an adaptive and a non-adaptive hypothesis, the following is required

<h3>What is adaptation?</h3>

It refers to a trait or an integrated set of traits that increases the fitness of an organism. It is the process of improving the fit of phenotype to environment through natural selection.

<h3>What is non adaptation?</h3>

it refers to those traits that do not result in the better adaptation of the organism to its environment, and does not increase the genetic fitness of the organism.

Let us take the case of vain organs. There may be a metabolic value to constructing a vain organ, and subsequently the humans who have misplaced that organ might also have a selective advantage. Also, if the organ is useless, the mutations that disrupt the improvement of that organ would be evolutionarily neutral, and may want to unfold to fixation via genetic drift.

So an adaptive hypothesis as to why an organism may lose useless organs is energy trade offs. The organism may additionally be losing energy in growing and retaining a vain organ, whilst this strength can be higher used someplace else. So an organism that lives in a darkish cave might also sooner or later lose its eyes considering eyes are of no use inside a darkish cave.

A non adaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of organs can be random mutation. If a random mutation occurs that causes an organism to lose its eyes, in a dark cave where it does not use its eyes anyway, it could still survive, reproduce and pass that mutation down.
