Which describes how proteins are used in mating by Japanese beetles? A.Male and female beetles combine proteins to form offsprin
g. B.Proteins allow beetles to produce more ribosomes. C.Males use a protein to detect pheromones sent by females. D.Lipids are stored in proteins and used for reproduction.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Proteins are used in mating by Japanese beetles by detecting pheromones sent by the female beetles. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
The answer is C. Pheromones are hormones (which are proteinous) produces by individuals of the same species and are a means to send communication signals for social interactions. They signal alarm, food and even sex. Sex pheromones are released by females beetles into the environment to signal their availability for mating. The pheromones are picked up by receptors on the male beetles and this is how they find the females.
The path would be a because she feels it (sensory), then her brain gets it (interneron), then she is told to lift her foot (moter), and so she does (recepter)
