The correct answer is:
D
.Villi in the small intestine have thin-walled capillaries to make the absorption of nutrients more efficient.
Explanation:
The small intestines are well adjusted for absorbing nutrients during digestion by being very long, having villi and microvilli that enlarge surface area, using muscular contractions to move and mix food, and raising and housing digestive enzymes and bile that aid the breakdown of food. The inner surface of the small intestine is not flat but thrown into circular folds, which not only enhance surface area but aid in preparing the ingesta by acting as baffles. Villi: the mucosa makes multitudes of ridges which project into the lumen and are satisfied with epithelial cells.
The cross of heterozygous
AaBb as parental phenotype led to formation of 1
6 phenotype of the offspring.This is because this is dihybrid form of inheritance .The probability of having
aabb offspring is
1/16 since there is only one aabb type of offspring phenotype out of
the
16. An illustration of how crossing is done is as per punnet square below
Answer:
The regulation of an internal environment is called homeostasis.
Explanation:
Homeostasis is when you can maintain a stable inner environment.
Answer:
Variation can be acted on by natural selection.
Explanation:
Variation are the difference that exist in the organism in terms of the body size and can be acted upon by natural selection.
Natural selection could act on the owl body size, favor the selection of owl with small body size especially when resources available are limited and can only sustain small number of individuals leading to availability of owl with small body size in such area and a gradual reduction in the number of owl with large body size.
