Biodiversity tends to clump around the equator, as it has more heat. The closer you are to the equator, the more biodiversity you will find. The polar regions have little to no life.

Answer:

The biodiversity is defined as the variety of living species that exists in the ecosystem ranging from the microscopic organisms to the large complex multi-cellular organisms. They are not equally distributed in all the places on earth.

The biodiversity is maximum between the tropics and equator, because this region receives the maximum amount of rainfall and sunlight, that provides the essential nutrients for these living organisms to survive and grow. This biodiversity decreases with the increasing altitude. The tropical and equatorial region occupies a smaller amount of earth's surface but contains the maximum diversity. The regions where maximum amount of diverse species exists is known as the hot-spots.

Away from the tropics, towards the polar region, the higher latitudinal areas experiences a colder temperature, that supports a limited range of species diversity.

The house fly, Musca domestica, has a haploid chromosome number of 6. How many chromatids should be present in a diploid, somati

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Musca domestica is the scientific name of an animal popularly known as Housefly. From the question, it is known that this organism has a haploid chromosome number of 6.

In a diploid chromosomes, the number of chromatids that will be present will be twice of that in haploid.

Since haploid (n) = 6, diploid (2n) will be; 2 × 6 = 12

Somatic cells on the other hand also exhibit diploid number of chromosomes, again it means we will have (2n) = 2 × 6 = 12

In metaphase cell, cells do make sure they complete the S'phase of the cell cycle before cellular division.Therefore, the DNA present in the chromatids in the S'phase actively engage in chromatids doubling, as a result, 24 chromatids (i.e 12 × 2= 24) exists in the metaphase cell.

What processes allows cells to concentrate material that is present only in very small amounts in the extracellular fluid?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

receptor-mediated endocytosis

Explanation:

A selective mechanism that is responsible for endocytosis and transcytosis of the small amounts of materials that are present in the extracellular fluid is known as receptor-mediated endocytosis.
The various molecules that can be taken up by this process include hormones, metabolites, proteins as well as certain viruses.
This process is also known as clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
In this process, the receptors that are present on the surface of the proteins are captured by a molecule which is the target site for the protein and internalized by membrane internalization (endocytosis).

The vesicle formed by endocytosis is a clathrin coated vesicle.
