Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift can also be referred to as allelic drift, it refers to the variation in allelic frequencies within a particular population over a period of time. It can also be referred to as the random fluctuations in the number of genotypes within a population. Genetic drift is not influenced by the environment and is usually more pronounced in a small population of organisms.

For example, a population of birds can consist of green feathers and blue feathers with the green feathers as the dominant allele, but as a result of random fluctuations, the offspring may all be with green feathers and hence could eliminate or reduce the allele responsible for blue feathers over time.

How can the lymph system reduce the spread of cancer?
Lady bird [3.3K]

The answer is; A

In the lymph vessels,  a few lymphocytes ‘ patrol’ the tissues as they scan for antigens. When they detect an antigen, including surface antigens of rogue cells (cancer cells), the antigen-presenting cells (APCs) present this to the cognate lymphocytes turning them to effector cells (such as effector T-cells). The effector T- cells bind to the cancer cells and induce apoptosis.

If you eat food while hanging upside down, do you think it will still go through the alimentary canal? Give Reasons...
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Our alimentary canal undergo a process or a movement called peristalsis, in which the walls continuously move to pass the food downwards. So if you eat hanging upside down, the food would surely move.

Explanation:

  • Peristalsis is a series of wavelike muscle contractions that moves food to different processing stations in the digestive tract and the process begins in the oesophagus when a bolus of food is swallowed.
  • The muscles of the oesophagus are strong enough to propel food and liquids into the stomach even when hanging upside down although there is a risk of choking
  • It is advised that maintaining a correct body positioning during eating is very important for digestion to happen properly and avoid blockage of the airways by food and fluid.
  • Leaning your body upright slightly and rounding your shoulders a bit so that your chin is tucked-up is a way of exercising safe chewing and swallowing.

PLEASE ANSWER THIS : Does a particular molecule, like vitamin c, always have the same shape? EXPLAIN.
arsen [322]
They would not have the same shape because they would basically be the same as that particular vitamin. If a vitamin was the same shape as c then it would be vitamin c. Therefore, they would not be the same shape.
