Answer:

B. neuroglia.

Explanation:

Neuroglia, also called glial cells are cells that support neurons structurally and functionally.

There exists two broad classes of cells in the nervous system which are:

Neurons
Glia

The neurons process information while the glia support the neuron mechanically and metabolically.

In general, there are three main types of cells that make up the nervous system including the above two.

An autosomal recessive disease has an incidence of 1/10,000. What is the approximate frequency of heterozygote carriers for this

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Given

Number of incidences or frequency of an autosomal recessive disease $= \frac{1}{10000}$

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation, frequency of a recessive genotype is $q^{2}$

$q = \sqrt{\frac{1}{10000} }\\ q = \frac{1}{100}$

As per first equation of Hardy Weinberg's -

$p+q=1$

so ,

$p = 1-q\\p = 1-\frac{1}{100}\\p = \frac{99}{100}$

$p^2 = (\frac{99}{100})^2\\p^2 =\frac{9801}{1000}$

As per second equation of Hardy Weinberg's -

$p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq=1$

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

$\frac{9801}{10000} + \frac{1}{100} + 2pq=1\\2pq = 1-(\frac{9801}{10000} + \frac{1}{100})\\2pq = 0.99%\\OR[tex]2pq=1$ %

$2pq = \frac{1}{100}$

Hence, option B is correct.

The introduction of brown and black European rats may have led to the extinction of Darwin’s rice rat due to competition for food and resources. These are the main factors that affects am organisms survival.

The brown and black rat were better adapted for survival and competition of the food and resources available which lead to the death and extinction of Darwin’s rice rat.

A chemical substance that organisms require to live.

tia_tia [17]

It's called a nutrient.

Nutrients are well, something that all humans need to survive. A certain amount of nutrients keep humans alive and healthy, yet a lack of nutrients will cause them to become sick and slowly die.

Thus, making it so nutrients is a chemical substance that organisms require to live.

Hope this helps!
