Answer: option D.

Phenotype

Explanation:

Theory of natural selection shows that different organism survive, adapt and reproduce in their environment due to their different phenotypic variation. The phenotypic variation exist among individual organisms and it is heritable which is transfer from one generation to another.

Phenotype are traits or physical characteristics or observable characteristics of organism e.g organisms appearance, behavior e.t.c.

Answer:

d. phenotype

Explanation:

<em>Natural selection exert pressure on the physical characteristics of organisms, that is, the phenotype.</em>

Natural selection refers to the variation in the survival and reproduction of individuals within a population based on how adaptable they are to the environment in which they live.

<u>The forces of natural selection act on the physical characteristics of individuals, that is how physically fit or unfit individuals are. Individuals that posses physical characters that makes them to be better adapted to the environment survives and reproduce better than their counterparts that are less adapted. Natural selection thus selects for the physical characters that make the individuals to be better adapted.</u>

The correct option is d.

Identify the 2 major groups of enzymes that make the redox reactions possible: Describe their role in these reactions.
adell [148]

Answer:Enzymes that makes redox reactions possible in a biochemical process includes those that help to catalyze the transfer of electrons, atoms, or functional groups.

Explanation:

Here are some class categories of these enzymes and their roles ;

• Oxidoreductases - Transfer of electrons (hydride ions or H atoms)

• Transferases - Group- transfer reactions

• Hydrolases - Hydrolysis reactions (transfer of functional groups to water)

• Lyases - Addition of groups to double bonds, or formation of double bonds by removal of groups Transfer of groups within molecules to yield isomeric forms

• Isomerases - Formation of C-C, C-S, C--0, and C-N bonds by condensation reactions coupled to ATP cleavage

The above are however classified, given code numbers, and assigned names according to the type of transfer reaction, the group donor, and the group acceptor.

What property of phospholipids gives the plasma membrane the ability to automatically assemble?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer;

-They are polar

Explanation;

-A phospholipid is a lipid that contains a phosphate group and is a major component of cell membranes. A phospholipid consists of a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail. Hydrophilic / hydrophobic layers restrict the passage of many substances.

-When phospholipids are mixed with water, they spontaneously rearrange themselves to form the lowest free-energy configuration. This means that the hydrophobic regions find ways to remove themselves from water, while the hydrophilic regions interact with water.
