Spiders use their silk to build strong webs, to trap bugs, to save themselves from falling, to wrap their eggs safely, and even
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The missing word is things.

However, the real question is how one material can serve so many purposes? That is what makes it possible for the spiders web to have a high "utility" value?

The answer is in how the spiders make the silk.

Explanation:

So it interesting to note that spiders do not make only one kind of silk. They vary depending on what purpose it's doing serve.

The most common type is Dragline Silk.

Dragline Silk: This contains spidroins. Spidroins fall under a category of a protein called scleroproteins. Because of its composition, a strand or fiber of Dragline has the same tensile strength as steel albeit more flexible. That is if one produced steel the diameter of a spider's silk, and compared both for strength, the silk will be stronger.

The spider produces Dragline silk in its silk glands where they are as viscous as a paste. From here is pulled out or extruded into lines of silk.

Other types of spider silk are:  

  1. Capture-spiral silk. Also known as the Flagelliform, they are used for securing lines of the web. They are adhesive, very elastic, and possess high tensile strength.  
  2. Tubiliform silk: They are also called Cylindriform. Its main use is for the protection of spider eggs. It is used to make a sac for which protects eggs. This type of silk is the toughest.
  3. Aciniform silk: For preserving fresh prey.  
  4. Minor-ampullate silk: This type is used by spiders for creating temporary support while they are spinning a web. Etc.

From one original cell, four genetically unique daughter cells, each with 23 nonreplicated chromosomes, are produced at the conc
lukranit [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in gametic cells. In this cell division, one cell is divided into four cells and the chromosome number is reduced to half therefore it is also called reduction division.

During meiosis crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes that allow the exchange of genetic material between them that results in the formation of genetically unique daughter cells.  

In spermatogenesis during the first meiosis division, the homologous chromosomes get separated into two daughter cells reducing the chromosome number by half and during second meiotic division sister chromatids separate into two more cells. Therefore four genetically different cells are generated.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The answer is "Option e".

Explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

Its long tail disregards its short tail. Let's assume that even a short neck is a as well as a tail over, which claim, though, the short tails were mixed, shorter, and longer tailed mousses are created. It may also presume that the short mouse parental is always Aa. And we get AA, Aa, Aa, Aa, and Aa situations once their matter and they fall pregnant to both high and short tail mice but we wouldn't get the fat tail mouse unless the tail-mouse were as AA.

we always get two types of lines. It demonstrates there was no uniform AA genera. It is a case of the heterozygous dangerous gene, that can cause a set of identical alleles inside an organism to always be lethal.
