Chum salmon (oncorhynchus keta) are born in freshwater environments and then migrate to the sea near the end of their lives, the

y return to the freshwater stream where they were born to spawn. in freshwater, water constantly diffuses into the body and ions are lost from the body. in salt water, body water diffuses out of the body and excess ions are gained from the water. a salmon's gills have special cells to pump salt in or out of the body to maintain homeostasis. in response to the salmon's moves between freshwater and salt water, some cells in the gills are produced and others are destroyed. these changes made in the cells of the gills during the lifetime of an individual salmon are an example of?a. trade offb. evolutionc. acclimatizationd. adaptation

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

If an organism has ability to tolerate and survive  the effects of  varied  environmental factors  in its environments, by adjusting  its  body systems to  the fluctuations in these factors  to  improve its performance for  survival , such organism is said to undergo acclimatization.

it usually occur over a short period of time, and it is reversible.

These varied or changing environmental factors are  temperature,humidity, pH, water current etc, And the mechanisms for  adjustment of the body systems(homeostasis)  to tolerate and  adjust to  theses factors   may involve changes in the body structure, biochemical reactions, or behaviours.

Note it is different from adaptation, which  takes longer time, which  may be permanent and therefore affects the Genotype of the organisms.Acclimatization in most cases affects phenotype of the organism involved.

Answer:

c. Acclimatization

Explanation:

<u>Acclimatization</u> : Various physiological readjustments and compensatory mechanisms in body that reduces the effects of hypoxia in permanent residents at high altitude. These are basically the respiratory and hematopoetic adjustments to long-term move to high altitude.

As the Chum Salmon (oncorhynchus keta) are born in freshwater water constantly diffuses into the body and ions are lost from the body while in the sea water, they lose water.

As alot of changes are occrun in the cells of the gills of chum salmon, that is acclimatization as various physiological readjustments are being made.

Write a short description of the life cycle of a flowering plan<br><br>​
sammy [17]

Answer:

Flowering plants begin as seeds. These seeds store energy and food within them long enough to reach the right environment and germinate. Germination is the development of a plant, growing from a seed into a seedling. Seedlings are the second stage of a flowering plant's life. This is when their roots begin to form and photosynthesis can begin. Next comes the growth period. After the seedling is planted, it requires a lot of food and energy as more leaves begin to emerge. The next stage of a flowering plant's life is the flowering stage itself. This is when buds and flowers begin to sprout. It enters the reproductive stage and pollination begins, allowing more seeds to be sown.

Positively charged DNA migrates more rapidly than negatively charged DNA b. Longer DNA fragments migrate farther on a gel than s
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

<h2>c. Migration distance on a gel is inversely proportional to DNA fragment size </h2>

Explanation:

  • Deoxyribonucleic acid is a genetic material that is a type of macromolecule.
  • It is made up of a monomer that ais called a nucleotide. Each nucleotide is made up of a deoxyribose sugar, a base, and a phosphate group.
  • Due to the presence of phosphate group DNA has negative property. When the DNA is separated by the gel electrophoresis method the size of the fragment of the DNA plays an important role.
  • Those DNA fragments that are small in size migrate faster than those DNA fragments that are larger in size.
  • So the migration distance is inversely proportional to the DNA fragment size.

Ears

¿Qué es el oído y qué hace?

El oído consta de tres partes diferentes, que funcionan conjuntamente para captar sonidos y transmitírselos al cerebro: el oído externo, el oído medio y el oído interno.

El oído externo

El oído externo está formado por el pabellón auditivo (también conocido como "pabellón auricular" o "pabellón de la oreja") y el conducto auditivo. Los pabellones auditivos son las partes visibles que tenemos a ambos lados de la cabeza y están compuestos por cartílago duro cubierto de piel. La principal función del pabellón auditivo consiste en captar sonidos y conducirlos hacia el conducto auditivo, que conecta con el oído medio. Las glándulas de la piel que recubren el interior del conducto auditivo fabrican cera o cerumen, que protege este conducto, eliminado la suciedad y ayudando a prevenir posibles infecciones.

El oído medio

El oído medio es una cavidad llena de aire que transforma las ondas sonoras en vibraciones y las transmite al oído interno. El oído medio está separado del externo por el tímpano (o membrana timpánica), una fina lámina de tejido que va de lado a lado del conducto auditivo y que está fuertemente tensada sobre él. Los sonidos golpean el tímpano, haciendo que se mueva.
