flies from the two containers together again, she observed that the flies preferred mates raised on the same food. Which conclusion can the scientist draw?
A. Fruit flies mate randomly regardless of how they were bred.
B. Fruit flies can adapt to eating different food sources.
C. Fruit flies prefer the container where they were bred.
D. Fruit flies prefer mates adapted to the same food source.

Answer: The correct answer is -

Option D.

Explanation:

As per the given information in the question, initially fruit flies were in two different containers having different food sources for several generations. Due to this, they got adapted to the specific food sources to which they were exposed. As a consequence, they started preferring mates that were adapted to the same food source.

Therefore, when fruit flies from the two containers were put together, Fruit flies preferred mates adapted to the same food source.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

Answer:

cell transport or membrane transport helps in the transport of solute molecules and ion across the plasma membrane and helps in maintaining homeostasis of these molecules in the biological system.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is very very important to maintain a steady body physiology and the maintenance of steady body physiology is highly significant because any type of disturbance in the homeostasis can leads various physiological abnormalities.

         Various membrane transport process such as osmosis helps in the movement of water from high concentration region to the region of low water concentration until equilibrium is reached.Thus osmosis helps to maintain water homeostasis in our body.

    By the same way glucose transporter maintain the homeostasis of glucose inside our body.

How did the results of Meselson and Stahl's experiment confirm that
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: Meselson & Stahl reasoned that these experiments showed that DNA replication was semi-conservative: the DNA strands separate and each makes a copy of itself, so that each daughter molecule comprises one "old" and one "new" strand. The semi-conservative model, in which each strand of DNA serves as a template to make a new, complementary strand, seemed most likely based on DNA's structure. ... From the patterns of DNA labeling they saw, Meselson and Stahl confirmed that DNA is replicated semi-conservatively.

object forms when a supergiant runs out of fuel?a red giant a black hole a white dwarf a neutron star
LenKa [72]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

When a supergiant runs out of fuel, the object formed is either a black hole or a neutron star.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Supergiant are very large stars in the galaxy that end their lives very quickly.
  • When a supergiant star loses its fuel, it blows itself by a supernove explosion.
  • When supernove explosion happens, the supernova outshines other stars in the galaxy and then slowly faded away leaving a dense object called black hole or neutron star.
  • This black hole or neutron star is surrounded by a mass of very hot gas and the elements of the supergiant star get scattered into the space.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Explanation:

The function of AQP5 (an aquaporin) is to allow the water to move into or out of the cell down the concentration gradient. When placed in hypotonic solutions, the internal environment of HEK cells will be hypertonic. Water always moves from hypotonic (higher water concentration) to hypertonic (lower water concentration) solution.  

Hence, the HEK cells exposed to the hypotonic conditions will localize AQP5 in their membranes to allow the water to move from out hypotonic conditions to the inner hypertonic environment.
