Answer:

It's important because we need the DNA structures in order to know our traits and so we can stay alive. If you have a cut and start to bleed. Mitosis can occur, hence DNA replication is performed. Without this, we would bleed so much that we would die of excessive blood loss.

Hope this help answer your question.

What role does iodine play within the thyroid?

lesantik [10]

Iodine it is an element that is required for the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
The body does not produce iodine on its own so it needs to come from dietary sources like eggs, prunes bananas, shrimp, cod, etc or you can take supplements of iodine.
When you consume iodine it quickly absorbed and enters into your bloodstream and thenyour thyroid that has tiny cells that capture the circulating iodine and takes in and oxidizes it so it can begin to be used to create (T3) and (T4 which are thyroid hormones.

Name the three types of population distribution, describe each, and explain the conditions that govern each.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: Population distributions may be described as random, uniform or clustered.

Explanation:

In a specified region, a population comprises any number of members of the same species. Populations are described by sizes- the number of individuals; densities- individuals in a set space (per unit area); and distribution- the dispersal or non dispersal of individuals (spread out or clumped). Population distributions may be described in three ways:

Random: the distribution pattern is haphazard, with no regular spacing; individuals grow independently of each other without competing and resources are consistent. E.g. dandelion seed dispersal by wind

Uniform: individuals are evenly spaced in a predictable pattern; there may be some interaction and ideally, spaces between them are maximized in order to ensure access to limited nutrients and resources. E.g. human farming- cornfields, orchards; allelopathy in plants like purple sage, which secretes chemicals to prevent the growth of other plants nearby

Clumped: there is less distance between neighboring organisms and these individuals cluster together. This pattern is most common in environments where resources are scarce, or the species is dependent on social interactions. E.g. lions are highly social and hunt in prides in the wild
