When you are exposed to sunlight for a long time, your skin, which otherwise appears normal, gets heavily tanned. What could be

the reason?
A.The genes for melanin pigmentation remain turned on and prepare more melaninthan usual to protect the skin from photo-damage when it is exposed to sunlight for long time.

B.The genes for melanin pigmentation remain turned off and synthesize more melanin than usual to protect the skin from photo-damage when itexposed to sunlight for a long time.

C.The genes for melanin pigmentation are switched off to stop the synthesis of melanin to protect the skin from photo-damage when it is exposed to sunlight for a long time.

I think it would be the first one:
The genes for melanin pigmentation remain turned on and prepare more melaninthan usual to protect the skin from photo-damage when exposed to sunlight for long time.

I could be wrong, i had a similar question in the 8th grade, I can't remember.

How is slump different from creep ​
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Creeps and slumps are very similar. They are both a form of mass wasting and have the same causes. The difference between a creep and a slump is that a creep moves slowly and gradually while a slump is faster and causes more drastic changes in terrain.

What is a carrying capacity? Please explain in two or more sentences.
Mademuasel [1]

Hello!

Carrying capacity, in biology, is the mps (maximum population size) of the species that the environment is able to take care of.  The environment should be able to give food, habitat, and water, and other necessities needed for the certain animal species. If there are to many of the species, the environment may not be able to care for all animals, due to the fact that there will not be enough resources for all of the animals.

Hope this helps, have an awesome day/night! :)

Drag the pink labels onto the pink targets to identify the two main phases of the cell cycle. Then drag the blue labels onto the
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

There is no diagram provided so I will just explain the mitotic cell cycle.

Here’s a quick basic arrangement in chronological order interphase, mitosis, and finally cytokinesis.

So first you start with interphase which consist of three phases G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase. Cellular growth occurs in G1 phase of interphase this is followed by S phase which is simply when DNA replication occurs. Final this is followed by G2 phase or further growth in preparation for mitosis and/or meiosis.  

I am only going to explain mitosis but just so I don’t confuse you meiosis can also follow interphase. So mitosis consist of four phases. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Prophase: in this phase the nuclear membrane would dissipate and the chromosomes would condense.

Metaphase: then in metaphase the chromosomes would align in the center of the cell and spindle fibers or microtubules would began growth from the centrioles.  

Anaphase: by the start of this phase spindle fibers would have attached themselves to the chromosomes kinetochores. In this phase the chromatids would separate and that’s really it as you can tell this is the shortest phase in mitosis.

Telophase: finally the chromosomes would be brought to the polar opposite ends of the cell and the nuclear membrane would reform. Also the chromosomes condensed chromosomes would unravel eventually they would be invisible.

Finally the cell would enter cytokinesis were it would split at the cleavage furrow which would have started in anaphase of telophase, all a cleavage furrow is, is microfilaments “pinching the cell” which is just them pulling on either side of the center of the cell.

Why is garden peas a good choice for a study of heredity
Marat540 [252]
This is because when Mendel did it, he knew that peas are easy to raise, have plenty of offspring, fertilize themselves, and have varieties in genotype and phenotype that are easily observable.
