Kaylis [27]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A. Buffers absorb excess hydrogen and hydroxide ions to prevent increases or decrease in pH. An example is the bicarbonate system in human body.

Explanation:

In nature, buffer is a known to be a solution capable of maintaining the pH of an ionic solution i.e. resist alteration to the acidic or basic content, by neutralizing excess hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxyll ions (OH-) added to it.

Buffers, with the aid of their weak acid/conjugate base or weak base/conjugate acid, absorb/react with excess hydrogen and hydroxide ions to prevent increases or decrease in pH. An example of buffer in humans is the bicarbonate buffer system in that maintains stable pH in the human blood.

Gene families, such as the globin family of genes in primates are the result of: deficiencies inversions simple translocations d
Maurinko [17]
The answer is duplications.

Gene family consists of several similar genes. Duplications of single genes, exons, multigene families, or whole genome have given rise to families of related genes. The example is the globin family of genes in primates. About 500 million years ago, a duplication of single globin gene began. Much later, during primate evolution, the additional duplications occurred together with some point mutations. So the end result is diversity in globin chains that arose from original globin gene.
