Mortality, or death rate is a measure of the number of deaths in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of the time. In this case a factor that would result to an increased mortality rate in a population due to increased competition of water will be the density-dependent factor.
Answer:
I believe it is A, but I could be wrong.
Explanation:
I think this, because when it says, "Other, less useful, versions of the genetic code were eliminated gradually throughout the course of evolution", I think it referencing to the fact that all animals and etc, are made up of common codes, and how over time, through evolution, certain codes were eliminated, because creatures were evolving.
Answer:
(a) an aquaporin
Explanation:
An aquaporin is a water channel which forms a pore in the cell membrane and facilitates the movement of water. Aquaporin is an integral membrane protein (permanently attached to the membrane) that enables the in and out flow of the water. This channel also prevents the passage of ions and other solutes, so it cannot change the voltage. There are four types of aquaporins, and they are mostly found in the kidney with the function of water reabsorption.
