Answer:

Option A , Convergent Evolution

Explanation:

In a convergent evolution, similar characteristics or traits develop in species belonging to different race or ancestry groups.  

As in this case , Earthworms are invertebrates while caecilians are amphibians but they both have the ability to burrow, have slender long body and also live in similar habitat (i.e moist soil) . Both the species (i.e earthworm and  caecilians) have different origination but they have adopted similar characteristics/traits.  

Hence,  option A is correct.

klemol [59]

Answer:

By increasing blood glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid levels

Explanation:

Cortisol, corticosterone, and cortisone are the glucocorticoids released by the adrenal cortex and serve to impart resistance to stress. These hormones stimulate protein breakdown (mainly in muscle cells), gluconeogenesis and lipolysis and thereby increase the concentration of amino acids, glucose and fatty acids in blood.

The amino acids are used by cells for synthesis of new proteins or for synthesis of ATP. Glucose is also used by cells to produce ATPs.

Glucocorticorticoids increase the sensitivity of blood vessels for hormones which in turn stimulate their constriction. The vasoconstriction raises blood pressure. The process of vasoconstriction resumes the normal range of blood pressure which is otherwise dropped by some emergency conditions such as injury and severe loss of blood.

Ribosomes provide the scaffolding on which tRNAs interact with mRNA during translation of an mRNA sequence to a chain of amino a
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Ribosomes are ribonucleoprotein complexes composed of RNA and proteins, which have two main roles 1-decode the message of the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and the formation of peptide bonds in the protein. For this purpose, each triplet of nucleotide bases or 'codon' in the mRNA sequence is used to assemble specific amino acids in the nascent polypeptide chain. Although different, both prokaryotic ribosomes and eukaryotic ribosomes are composed of two subunits: one small subunit that decodes the mRNA into a specific amino acid chain, and one large subunit that forms the peptide bonds in the polypeptide chain. Each ribosomal subunit is in turn composed of ribosomal RNAs and proteins. These ribosomal RNAs act as scaffolds by combining with proteins that assemble into ribosomes (i.e., small and large ribosome subunits).
