Before darwin where did people think animals came from?
slava [35]

Answer:

Other theories

Explanation:

Here's a quote:

“… as the earth and ocean were probably peopled with vegetable productions long before the existence of animals; and many families of these animals long before other families of them, shall we conjecture, that one and the same kind of living filaments is and has been the cause of all organic life.”

Epithelia are strong membranes that function to bind the body together <br> a. True <br> b. False
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

           The statement is false

Explanation

            There are four basic types of tissue and each tissue perfom its specific function.

Example

1. Epithelial tissues

                             These tissues form protective covering around the external body, internal structures, air passageway and form glands.

2. Connective tissues

                              these tissues bind cells and organs of the body.

3. Muscle tissues

                           These tissues help in movement.

4. Nervous tissues

                          These tissues help in nervous coordination.

Provide explanations of genotypes and phenotypes.
Korvikt [17]
The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism, while the Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is observable and are the expression of the genes of an individual. So even the organism with the same species may differ, with a minute difference in their genotype. This is the main difference between the two.

We can notice one’s hair colour, eye colour, height, weight, skin colour, etc. but cannot look at genes responsible for these characters, so the observable physical look is the phenotype while the unnoticed genes responsible for such characters present in the DNA of cell of the individual is genotype.

To explain the above lines, here is the simple example of a pure red colour flowering plant (RR) is crossed with the white colour flowering plant (rr). The result of the Genotype of the F1 generation will be – Rr (Hybrid red colour), and the Phenotype of the F1 generation will be the – Red colour flowering plant.

Genotype and phenotype are the two very closely related and similar-sounding words, but their meaning is different. Our earth has a dynamic variety of organisms, present in soil, water and on land. But as the genome of each organism is different, and so there phenotypes also whether it’s their colour, height, weight or other morphological features.

Please explain what hypertonic and hypotonic solutions are and the osmosis direction for each (into or out of cell)
gayaneshka [121]
A hypotonic solution<span> is one in which the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside of it, and a </span>hypertonic solution<span> is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it.

In Osmosis, direction is from Hypertonic to Hypotonic solution

Hope this helps!</span>

Some molecules found in foods are known to be capable of driving DNA methylation or DNA demethylation. For example, folic acid (
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: Eating excessive quantities of such molecules could deregulate this process, increasing methylation and repressing the expression of genes that should normally be expressed.

Explanation:

DNA methylation is one of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the regulation of gene expression, because it is a process by which methyl groups are added to DNA.

Methylation then modifies the function of DNA when it is found in the promoter gene, it is essential for normal development and is associated with a number of key processes, including genomic imprinting, inactivation of the X chromosome, repression of repeating elements, aging, and carcinogenesis. Usually, <u>it acts to suppress gene transcription.</u>

For example, folic acid is essential for the rapid cell division that occurs during early fetal development and it also plays an important role in methylation and thus in gene regulation. <u>The metabolism of these vitamins is aimed at achieving adequate levels of  DNA methylation, necessary for the cellular processes</u>. Eating excessive quantities of such molecules could deregulate this process, <u>increasing methylation and repressing the expression of genes that should normally be expressed</u>.
