Biodiversity decreases, and the overall health of the ecosystem decreases.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a niche when two different species occupy a niche competition arises between them. In due course both the species fight for existence and nature selects the best adaptable one to win. The other species either reduces in its population or gradually in struggle for existence they deteriorate and die.

Hence a decrease in bio diversity happens here due to natural selection. If the biodiversity is decreased in a particular niche it affects the growth of different species which in turn affect the whole ecosystem resulting in decrease of the overall health in an ecosystem.

Explain how proteins are involved in controlling mitosis.
SashulF [63]

Explanation:

Almost all eukaryotic proteins are subject to post-translational modifications during mitosis and cell cycle, and in particular, reversible phosphorylation being a key event. The recent use of high-throughput experimental analyses has revealed that more than 70% of all eukaryotic proteins are regulated by phosphorylation; however, the mechanism of dephosphorylation, counteracting phosphorylation, is relatively unknown. Recent discoveries have shown that many of the protein phosphatases are involved in the temporal and spatial control of mitotic events, such as mitotic entry, mitotic spindle assembly, chromosome architecture changes and cohesion, and mitotic exit. This implies that certain phosphatases are tightly regulated for timely dephosphorylation of key mitotic phosphoproteins and are essential for the control of various mitotic processes. This review describes the physiological and pathological roles of mitotic phosphatases, as well as the versatile role of various protein phosphatases in several mitotic events.

What are the cells in animals that are used to destroy bacteria and viruses after combining with lysosomes
AVprozaik [17]

T killer cell or Cytotoxic T cells  are the cells in animals that are used to destroy bacteria and viruses after combining with lysosomes.

<u>Explanation</u>:        

The T cells kills the bacteria and virus. The T cells can easily identify the pathogen when combined with the lysosomes. The activated T cells releases a material called perforin. This substance gets into the walls of the affected cell and punctures its walls. Due to hole in the walls, there happens discharge of fluid and electrolytes, which leads to the death of the cell.  The substance secreted is the cytolytic proteins from the lysosome which helps in destruction of the infected cells.
