Answer: B
Explanation: The lizards are trying to adapt t the environment, therefore, it would be B.
I HOPE THIS HELPS!
1. Our results showed that test tube B contained end products of protein digestion, meaning that the isolated enzyme has the ability to break down protein. The end products of protein digestion include small polypeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids. In general, test tube B will contain the building blocks of proteins, which are the amino acids.
2. The two test tubes were placed in a hot water bath at 37oC. This is because the enzyme studied is a human enzyme and it works best at the human body temperature, which is approximately 37oC.
Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means that they accelerate chemical reactions. As a result, an enzyme's activity is greatly affected by temperature. Every enzyme, depending on each function and origin, has a specific range of ideal temperature conditions. If the temperature rises above the maximum accepted, then the enzyme denatures and loses its structure.
3. If the enzyme studied was added in a tube containing starch instead of proteins, then nothing would happen. This is because the enzymes are highly specialized and have very specific actions. It has been proved that this enzyme's activity involves the digestion of proteins.
Starch is a polysaccharide produced by plants, this means that starch is a carbohydrate. Given that starch is not a protein, it will not be digested by the enzyme. An enzyme digesting proteins, will not have any effect on carbohydrates.
4. The smaller molecules which are the result of the digestion happening in the digestive system are absorbed by the human body. More specifically, the products of protein digestion are absorbed by the intestine and then transported into the bloodstream. From the blood, they are then absorbed by other tissues.
After they are absorbed, they are used to build muscles or other compounds which can produce energy.
NOT EXACT DEFINITION: Diseases that can be passed from one living organism to the other. Two examples are flu and several STIs (such as herpes). Sorry I couldn’t think of any more :)
Eukaryotic cells are theorized to have evolved from prokaryotes called the endosymbiotic theory. This explains that the most primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (by the process of phagocytosis) that is capable of cellular respiration and another prokaryotic cell that is capable of photosynthesis. These prokaryotic cells eventually became organelles and these organelles are the mitochondria and the chloroplast.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
If the population is in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant.
There is nothing about the heritability of dominant or recessive alleles that make dominant ones any more likely by nature. This rules out choices A and B.
Genetic drift mentioned in D refers to alleles leaving a population. Nothing like this was mentioned in the question, so count that answer out.
C is the only remaining answer by process of elimination. It is also the most logical choice. Directional selection refers to a process of natural selection wherein extreme phenotypes (notched leaves, or non-notched leaves) are favored. In this case, there may be some external pressure causing notched leaf plants to be more evolutionarily fit, meaning that they survive long enough to reproduce more and increase allele frequency of the dominant allele.
