Answer: heres the 3 main functions.
Explanation:
membranes have three primary functions 1) they keep toxic substances out of the cell 2) they contain receptors and channels that allow specific molecules, such as ions, nutrients, wastes, and metabolic products, that mediate cellular and extracellular activities to pass between organelles and between the cell and the outside environment and 3) they separate vital but incompatible metabolic processes conducted within organelles.
Answer:
1) Founder effect and genetic drift: Small colonizing population did not represent the original gene pool of the source population and was more likely to undergo genetic drift.
2) Natural selection
Explanation:
Evolution of the population of the finches with larger beaks might have occurred due to one of the following mechanisms:
a) Founder effect and genetic drift: Since the size of the colonizing population was small, it did not carry all the genes and their alleles present in the gene pool of the original population. The small population size made it more likely to evolve by any chance event.
b) Natural selection: The availability of different food types in the new habitat led to the natural selection of the larger beaks as the finches with larger beaks might have been able to better exploit the available food resources.
Answer:
There would be many differences as well as many similarities between these cells.
Similarities: All these cells will have the same DNA, the same chromosomes. The organelles in the cells would be the same.
Differences:
Embryonic cells are totipotent. They have the capability to divide into every cell of the body.
Adult stem cells are pluripotent. They have the ability of divide into some different types of cells.
Skin cells can only divide into skin cells.
