Answer:

Rita

Explanation:

Mutation refers to any change in the nuceleotide sequence of the genetic material (DNA) caused by a mistake during DNA replication or induced by mutagens. Changes that occurs in genetic sequences can arise in an organism in two ways viz: somatic mutation or germline mutation

Somatic mutation is a kind of mutation that affects only the somatic (body) cells of that organism and hence, cannot be transferred to that organism's offsprings. When somatic mutation occurs, it only affects the same type of cells that mutated e.g if the genetic sequence of a liver cell mutates, only the cells of the liver will be affected.

On the other hand, germline mutation is the mutation that is passed down to an organism's offsprings because it occurred in the sex cells (gametes) of that organism. When germline mutation occurs, the entire cell of that organism is affected because that one mutated cell keeps on dividing.

According to the question, the disease appears to be affecting several genes in a localized area of the monkey's cells. "Localized" means a specific part. Hence, the mutation that led to the disease is most likely to be a somatic mutation since it is affecting only a specific area of the monkey's cells. Based on this, Rita's hypothesis is the best cause for the new disease in the monkey.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Sun--> Plankton---> seabass---> otter

Explanation:

plankton use photosynthesis to absorb energy from the sun to create food. sea bass consume plankton by filtering them from the water while otters will catch and eat the seabass

A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process called crenation. A red blood cell placed in a hypoton
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The correct answers are A. "crenation", B. "hemolysis", C. "hemolysis", D. "crenation" and E. "neither will occur".

Explanation:

0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose are isotonic solutions at which the cells will not suffer any harmful consequence. A solution with a higher concentration than the isotonic conditions would result in the cells crenation, while a solution with a lower concentration would result in the cells hemolysis. Therefore the consequences of putting the red cells to the solutions stated in the question are as following:

A: 3.21% (m/v) NaCl Solution  = crenation (higher than 0.9% (m/v) NaCl)

B: 1.65% (m/v) glucose Solution  = hemolysis (lower than 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

C: distilled H2O Solution  = hemolysis (lower than 0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

D: 6.97% (m/v) glucose Solution  = crenation (higher than 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

E: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaCl = neither will occur (equal to 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9% (m/v) NaCl)

Think of a change that can occur to an ecosystem and the populations that live in that area. In what ways can the different popu
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.

Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.

For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity,  eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.

Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.

Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.
