Answer:

The right answer is B. The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.

Explanation:

Levator muscles are the muscles use to raise any region of the body. Like levator anguli oris which elevates the corner of the mouth, levator ani which is made up of many muscle sheets of iliococcygeus, puboretalis, and pubococcygeus muscles and holds pelvic viscera in their place.

Levators costarum during breathing helps in raising the ribs, levator palpebrae superioris have function in raising the eyelids and there are so many levator muscles are present in different places in the body which helps to elevate and/or adducts a region.

Therefore, the right answer is B. The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The virus will transfer the DNA encoding cholera toxin to the next bacteria it infects, which will make that bacteria cholera-causing.

Explanation:

The process described in this question is a kind of gene transfer in bacteria called TRANSDUCTION. Transduction is the transfer of fragments of DNA from one bacterium to another via a virus called bacteriophage.

As stated in this question, the virus (bacteriophage) infects a cholera-causing bacterium. The bacteriophage moves from lysogenic cycle to lytic cycle and includes some pieces of the bacterial DNA, which encodes information for making the cholera toxin, in its own genome.

This means that the cholera-making toxin DNA is now a part of the virus's genome and hence, will transfer it to the next bacteria it infects in a process called TRANSDUCTION. This will make that bacteria a cholera causing bacteria.

Do Different cell types also have special duties, like building skin or bone, pumping out hormones, or making anti-bodies.
Schach [20]

Answer:

Yes, different cell types also have special duties, like building skin or bone, pumping out hormones, or making anti-bodies.

Explanation:

Cell is the basis structural and functional unit of a living organism. The body of a human is composed of trillions of cells that are organized in around 200 types of cells.

<u>A tissue is simply a group of specific kind of cell that have  a specific role.</u>

  • For example: The nervous system contains cells called neurons that have ability to transmit message from one place to another and allow us to respond to any environmental stimuli, such as heat, cold, danger etc.
  • Skin cell is composed of cells that have a role in protecting the body against the attack of harmful microbes. They also protect have role in building new skin cells and adding the protection to our body.
  • Blood cells have a role in providing us immunity (for example white blood cells) therefore, make us better able to protect ourselves from danger of diseases.
  • Muscle cells help us in moving our organs as well as allowing the whole movement from one place to another.

Thus we see that different types of cells have special functions and all these different cells coordinate with each other to make an organized and functioning body of a living organism.


Hope it help!
