The correct answer is option B (Microevolution)


Microevolution is defined as a change is allele frequencies observed within a population. In contrast to macroevolution it can be observed within a short period of time even within a same generation.

Microevolution can occur due to following reasons:

- Gene flow or Gene migration

- Genetic drift

- Mutation

Answer:

The correct answer is microevolution.

Explanation:

Microevolution happens when there is a variation in the percentage of gene changes inside a set of inhabitants.

As its name tells us, <u>microevolution happens in a short period of time</u> and may simply be due to the fact that due to natural causes certain genes became stronger and more resistant from one generation to the other, or because within that population there was someone new who brought said improved gene. Other factors that can influence this small genetic change may be<u> migration, genetic drift or a single mutation. </u>

Therefore the answer to the given question is Microevolution.

Compare and contrast the reasons cell division is important for unicellular and multicellular organisms. 2. Provide an example o
Ganezh [65]

(1)

For unicellular organisms, cell division is important for the reproduction of the population, Unicellular organism mainly use cell division, also called binary fission, for pollution growth. This is because unicellular organisms are only composed of one cell.

Multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and reproduction. Cell division causes increase in the number of cells composing the organism hence its growth in size. Cell division is also used to create gametes that are used in reproduction by fertilization.

(2)

Even in fully developed organisms, cell division is important in tissue repair. In tissue homeostasis, there is a balanced rate of cell division and cell death .  An example in muscles. Due to the stress experienced by muscle cells, they usually have a lower life span and therefore the damaged cells are often replaced with new ones by cell division. This prevents tissue wastage.

(3)

Growth factors signal the growth of a cell. They usually bind receptors on the cell surface and indicate how the cell should grow and divide base don environmental stimuli. An example is during regular exercises. Growth factors indicate that the muscle cells should divide regularly and grow bigger to accommodate the higher stress in the muscles from the workout. This is how your muscles grow bigger and stronger with more exercise.  

(4)

Differentiation of cells occurs through the silencing of some gene allowing the cell to produce particular proteins (and other biomolecules) that align with its functions in the body. This especially critical in multicellular organisms.  An example is that while al the cells in your body have the same DNA, some cells differentiate into liver cells while others into lungs, stomach, heart, and etcetera.

What is the restoring force in propagation of air particles?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Restoring force is a force which acts to bring a body to its equilibrium position. The restoring force is a function only of position of the mass or particle, and it is always directed back toward the equilibrium position. Therefore the restoring force of air particles should be displaced in the direction of the force and according to Newton 3rd law of motion, once the force is removed, restoring force of elasticity returns the displaced particle to a resting state .
