Explanation:
Hemophilia is a disease that is characterized by an abnormal blood clotting process. There are many different proteins that are involved in the clotting process and a single mutation or change in one of them could result in serious effects. Hemophilia is characterized by an abnormal version of one of the many proteins involved in the clotting process, the proteins that are commonly affected are the coagulation factor 8 or 9 (VIII or IX). These abnormal proteins are caused by a mutation in the gene (within the DNA) that codifies for the production of each protein. In other words, a mutation in the part of the DNA, (gene F8) will lead to a dysfunctional coagulation factor VIII and a mutation in the gene F9 will lead to a dysfunctional coagulation factor IX. Importantly, these mutations could be inherited and could cause hemophilia. Therefore, an error in the DNA and subsequently, an error in the protein will cause hemophilia. Finally, it is important to mention that there are other types of hemophilia that are not caused by the above-mentioned mutations, such as acquired hemophilia.
Answer:
Racoons aren't decomposers.
Explanation:
A Racoon is an animal that scavenges for it's food. It may go in trash cans, or boldly inside a person's house. If being honest, they'd eat just about anything, so they're omnivores.
The correct answer is: Individuals that produce chemical compounds are better protected from herbivores and are able to produce more young than individuals that do not produce the compounds.
Natural selection acts on variations-differences in phenotype that exist among individuals. If a certain trait contribute more to survival and reproduction (individuals with that variant survive more than individuals with other variant), natural selection will favor that trait. In this case, production of chemical compounds is favored over non-producing trait.
