Answer:

The neutrophil forms multiple lamellipodia extensions

Explanation:

Neutrophils are white blood cells (granulocytes) which comprise the first line of defense in the innate immune system. The lamellipodium (in plural, lamellipodia) is a cytoskeletal actin extension found in mobile cells, whose main functions are cell motility and migration.  Rac1 is a member of the Rho GTPase protein family which is involved in actin-myosin cytoskeletal reorganization of neutrophil cells in response to microorganism infections. In this regard, it has been shown that Rac1 controls the initial uncapping of actin ends in order to regulate cytoskeleton dynamics, thus regulating lamellipodia formation. By using mice as models, researchers observed that Rac1 constitutive activation may lead to the formation of multiple lamellipodia in neutrophils.

Considering the following statements; 
A. The trait is the same for all organisms
B. The trait is resistant to mutations
C. Most forms of the trait have the same impact on survival
D. The trait is passed on genetically to the next generation 
The correct answer is D. 
Genetic variation is essential for natural selection since natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation is caused by mutation and random mating organisms.

What goes into the cell for cr to occur
BARSIC [14]
<span>In the presence of oxygen, one glucose molecule has the energy to make up to 38 ATP. The ATP production is determined by the following steps, (-2 ATP) glycolysis preparatory phase, (7-9 ATP) glycolysis pay-off phase, (5 ATP) oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and (20 ATP) Krebs cycle. One glucose which has 38 ATP hence was the summation of all the process mentioned that took place.  All these process take place under the cellular function of cellular respiration.<span>

B) Frost


Frost is a thin layer of ice on a solid surface, which forms from water vapor in an above freezing atmosphere coming in contact with a solid surface whose temperature is below freezing, and resulting in a phase change from water vapor to ice as the water vapor reaches the freezing point.

Answer:

Explanation:

NEAR remained in this orbit for 10 days and then was backed out in stages to a 100 km circular orbit by September 5, 2000. Maneuvers in mid-October led to a flyby of Eros within 5.3 km of the surface at 07:00 UT on October 26.

Launch date: February 17, 1996 20:43:27 UTC; ...

Closest approach: June 27, 1997 12:56 UTC; .
