Biology

erica [24]2 years ago
7 0


C is the correct answer. The main function of the digestive system is to break down food into nutrients.

Food is needed to fuel the body for energy, and also for growth and repair. The digestive system converts the food we eat into their simplest forms , like glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. The broken down food is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and the nutrients are carried to each cell of the body.

The large intestine  serves as a storage organ for the excretory products. However though this is true, the main function of the digestive system is to break down food into nutrients. The excretory duty is more of a necessity rather than a primary function.<span /><span /><span /><span />

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- 200

Explanation:

The cell cycle in eukaryotes mostly takes place in four phases: G₁, S, G₂ and M phase in sequence.

The DNA replication takes place during S phase which doubles the amount of DNA in a cell after which during M- phase the DNA divides into the daughter cell.

The amount of DNA present during G₂ phase is the 200 pg which will remain same until anaphase I as the segregation of chromosomes to the daughter cells takes place in the anaphase. Therefore, the amount of DNA observed after G₂ phase will remain 200 pg till metaphase I.

Thus, 200 is the correct answer.

The Charles Darwin developed the theory called Darwinism theory of evolution. The theory states that all the species of the organisms arises and developed through the small, inherited variations in the organisms that increase the individual ability to complete the survive and reproduce.

The individual species are not having identical traits that  are passed from the generation to generation. The offspring are born that can survive, only the survive of the completion for resources will reproduce; he describes how the species can change in shape and character through the selective breeding.

The hormone levels during the menstrual cycle are shown below.what would happen if the hormone levels did not have their peak ju
Vesna [10]

During week 2 of the menstrual cycle (day 8 to day 14 or ovulation), estrogen levels rise until it reaches its peak. Typically, days 12-14 have the highest levels of estrogen, which causes an increase in Luteinizing Hormone, which is responsible for the release of the egg cell. If hormone levels fail to reach its peak before day 14, ovulation is not possible because the egg cannot be released. Pregnancy may be highly unlikely.
