Answer:

<em>A mutation in his offspring</em>

Explanation:

A mutation can be described as any change which occurs in the DNA of an organism. Mutations can be either heritable or non-heritable

If a mutation occurs in the gamete cells of a male, the mutation will be heritable and will occur in his offsprings.

Other options, like option D, is not correct because a mutation in the gamete cells will not cause a mutation in the somatic cells. Gamete cells are the sex cells and hence mutation will arise in the sex cells.

The immediate energy system (ATP-PC) relies on:

swat32

Answer:

c. the high-energy phosphates stored in muscle cells

Explanation:

Phosphocreatine (PC) or creatine phosphate is a compound rich in energy. It has energy stored in it which can be used to phosphorylate ADP into ATP. The phosphocreatine is stored in muscle cells when muscles are not working. The produced ATP serves as an energy source for muscle contraction. The creatine produced during ATP production is phosphorylated again into PC using ATP when muscles are resting.

vredina [299]

Answer: Aerobic respiration will not take place and the animal will lose large amounts of ATP.

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the powerhouse that converts product of glycolysis that occurs in the cytoplasm into energy and release carbon dioxide as a byproduct. In the presence of oxygen (aerobic), products of glycolysis such as pyruvate enters the mitochondria, joins the kreb cycle and the electron transport chain yielding a large amount of energy or ATP.

Aerobic respiration that yield large amounts of ATP strictly occus in the mitochondrial matrix whereas anearobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm.

What is the process in which species evolve in response to changes in each other?

lara [203]

I believe it is behavioural isolation. When there are changes within a certain species, e.g. new birdcalls are formed in certain individuals in a species, "traditional" birds may not like such mating calls and only choose to mate with the more common birdcalls from majority of the birds. There are also some birds that may like the new birdcalls, and choose to mate with birds with those birdcalls. They become genetically isolated as they continue such behavior. Eventually, through genetic drift and other mutations, different species form from a single specie.

Hope this helps! :)
