Answer:

A. systolic pressure, ejection of blood from the heart

Explanation:

Systolic pressure represents the highest pressure of the blood in the arteries. It is attained during the phase of ventricular systole. During this phase, the ventricles contract (systole) resulting in a build-up of the blood pressure. This makes the tricuspid and mitral valves close. As the blood pressure in the ventricles exceeds that in the arteries, semilunar valves are opened and blood flows into the aorta and pulmonary artery. The flow of the blood increases the pressure in the arteries.

Which of the following statements is true of offspring from organisms that reproduce asexually?

Veronika [31]

A) the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
The reason for this is that there are no different traits being passed down that could alter the offspring's appearance. If there is sexual reproduction, then the offspring shares both of the parent's traits. If there is only one parent, then there is less diversity.

Why virus, virions, prions have no place in five kingdom classification

Ainat [17]

Hey, there!!

There is no place for virus, virions, prions in kungdom classification. The reason is they show both living and non living characters, which don't define them whether they are living beings or non living things.

As in 5 kingdoms, the only living organisms are classified.

Kingdom Monera mostly deals with the organism which contains prokaryotic cells.
Kingdom Protista deals with the organism which have eukaryotic cells.
Kingdom Fungi deals with various fungal organism.
Kingdom Plantae deals with various type of plants.
Kingdom Animalia deals with various type of animals.

So, you can see that there is non of the kingdoms which deals with the organism which have similar characteristics like viruses, virions and prions.

Hope it helps...
