In a freshwater lake, a population of bony fish called the stickleback were studied over several decades. The presence of armor

plating over the bodies of the males was noted. The data is shown below. What explains the trend shown in the data for the freshwater sticklebacks?
A) Armor-plating offered a protection from predation, therefore the presence of armor-plating increased in frequency.

B) Partially plated males were the preferred mating partner with female sticklebacks, causing an increase in partial armor frequency.

C) Armor-plated males were more efficient at migrating to salt water areas for reproduction, resulting in armor-plating increasing in frequency.

D) Armor-plated males were slower at acquiring food compared to the non-armored phenotypes, resulting in non-armored males to increase in frequency.

Which of the following structures is NOT found in some prokaryotic cells?
WARRIOR [948]

The answer would be:

Cilium

<u>Here is more about the structures of prokaryotic cells:</u>

Axial filament is a bundle of flagella that are wrapped around the cell's body.

Flagellum is what the prokaryotic cell has that is whip-like in structure. It helps with the motility of the cell.

Pilus is a hair-like structure that are found on the surface of prokaryotic cells. They help the cell attach itself to surfaces.

Peritrichous flagella are several flagella that can be found all over some prokaryotic cells.

most biological macromolecules contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. which of these has the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in
nata0808 [166]
The answer would be A. carbohydrates (carbs) because carbs are generally composed of sugars and glucose (as an example) has the ratio between carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio in its form: C6H12O6

G protein‑coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are two basic receptor types by which cells transduce s
weqwewe [10]
<h2>GPCRs and RTKs</h2>

Explanation:

1) Phosphorylation of receptor can terminate signal or desensitize receptor: GPCRs because when signal persists a protein kinase receptor is activated,this further catalyse the phosphorylation of several serine residue at cytosolic phase of 7 transmembrane

Phosphorylated transmembrane recognized by arrestin protein blocks interaction between trimeric G protein and receptor thus blocks signal transduction

2) Autophosphorylation of receptor can initiate signal: RTKs because receptor dimerization activates intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity by which they phosphorylate its own tyrosine residue on cytosolic phase

3) Structure contains seven transmembrane helices: GPCRs because it consists of single polypeptide and spans the membrane 7 times hence called 7 transmembrane;it recognizes external signal and activates trimeric G protein

4) Ligand binding induces conformational change in receptor: RTKs because normally RTK exist in monomeric form in absence of any ligand molecule but when any ligand molecule binds receptor starts to dimerize

5) Receptor activation causes phosphorylation of its cytosolic subunits: RTKs because when receptor gets activates the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity by which they phosphorylate its cytosolic subunits

6) An example is the insulin receptor: Insulin receptor is present on plasma membrane and belongs to RTK family and always exist in dimeric form

7) Transports some ligands through the membrane: Neither GPCR nor RTK;ligand gets transported through the membrane through ligand gated channel

8) An example is the epinephrine receptor: Epinephrine is an endocrine  hormone produced by adrenal glands in stress condition and prepare body for fight and flight;Epinephrine uses GPCR signalling pathway by four different types of membrane receptors in different tissues

9) Activate heterotrimeric G proteins directly: Transmembrane protein of GPCR recognizes the external signal and activates G protein,activated G protein binds with effector enzyme and activate it which further produce or destroy secondary messenger that carry message from cell surface to cell interior

F.8.2b Which of the following is a principle of natural selection?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

D.) Helpful variations allow individuals to survive and reproduce better than members who lack these variations.

Explanation:

Variation is one of among the principles of natural selection.

Variations occur naturally thereby favouring some individual groups over the other.

In the above example, the helpful variations naturally select the parents of the offsprings while the other members of the group are disadvantaged.
