Synapse plasticity

The ability of a given synapse to strengthen or weaken over time is known as synapse plasticity. The strengthening or weakening is in direct relation to the amount and way the synapse is used. The more frequently and vigorously a synapse is involved in activities, the more it will strengthen, just as in the case of muscles. This mechanism is important in learning and also lays the foundation of memory in the brain.

Answer:

A. Survive environmental changes.

Explanation:

Genomics refers to the scientific study of genes (DNA) found in living organisms such as humans and animals.

A genome can be defined as the complete set of hereditary instructions that is typically found in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is an organic complex-molecular structure found in all living organisms. It comprises of genes and is essentially the foundation block of all living organisms.

Natural selection can be defined as a biological process in which species of living organisms having certain traits that enable them to adapt to environmental factors such as predators, competition for food, climate change, sex mates, etc., tend to survive and reproduce, as well as passing on their genes to subsequent generations.

Simply stated, natural selection entails the survival of the fittest. Therefore, the species that are able to adapt to the environment will increase in number while the ones who can't adapt will die and go into extinction.

The characteristics which are consistent with the concept of natural selection includes;

I. More offspring are produced than can survive in an environment (overproduction of offspring). This ultimately implies that, the more offsprings that are reproduced by the parent organism, the more likely are they to survive.

II. There is genetic variation within populations. This simply means that there is a better chance of having good or beneficial traits being passed from the parent organism to her offsprings.

III. Organisms with beneficial variations are more likely to survive and reproduce, as well as passing on their genes to subsequent generations.

Hence, a population of living organisms with a large gene pool (gene diversification) is more favorably disposed to survive environmental changes than a species population having a small gene pool.

In conclusion, the higher the genetic makeup of a living organism, the higher are its chances of surviving environmental changes in the ecosystem.

andriy [413]

Answer:

hydrosphere and biosphere

Explanation:

The spheres of the Earth are lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere etc. Hydrosphere refers to the collection of all the water bodies on the surface of the Earth e.g oceans, lakes, rivers etc. On the other hand, biosphere refers to the collection of life on Earth e.g plants, animals, microbes etc.

In this question, Water availability is said to impact plant growth and the animals who depend on plants for food. These water availability and the living organisms (plants and animals) it impacts are interactions between the HYDROSPHERE AND BIOSPHERE.

Which muscle of the quadriceps femoris originates on the highlighted structure?
DENIUS [597]
Because there is no indication of what's the highlighted structure I'm going to tell you where all the four muscles of the quadriceps femoris originate from.
The vastus lateralis originates on the greater trochanter and the lateral lip of linea aspera. The vastus intermedius originates on the lateral and anterior surfaces of the femur's body. The vastus medialis originates on the medial lip of the linea aspera and the intertrochanteric line. R<span>ectus femoris originates, </span>superior to the acetabulum, on <span>the ilium.</span>
