Answer:
C) Because apoptosis genes kill cells, natural selection is seldom involved in apoptosis pathways.
Explanation:
Apoptosis is a natural process taking in the cell which causes the physiological and biochemical changes in the cell which could cause the death of the cell.
The apoptosis is controlled at the genetic level therefore apoptosis is also known as the programmed cell death.
The studies have shown that the process is involved in the development of the finger and the toes in humans and the sequences controlling the process has been conserved during the evolution in a different organism.
This shows that humans and nematode have the same conserved sequence of apoptosis but the natural selection does not control the apoptosis.
Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
Some isotopes, however, decay slowly, and several of these are used as geologic clocks. Dating rocks by these radioactive timekeepers is simple in theory, but the laboratory procedures are complex. <span>All methods rely on the fact that certain elements (particularly uranium and potassium) contain a number of different isotopes whose half-life is exactly known and therefore the relative concentrations of these isotopes within a rock or mineral can measure the age.</span>
Answer:
The given statement is false.
A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It helps in transmitting information from one neuron to another neuron, gland, or muscle cell.
The conduction of nerve impulse is electrochemical in nature. It transmits the impulse electrically through the axon the nerve cells and chemically through synapses (gap between two nerves cells).
The axon terminals of pre-synaptic nerve cell release chemical messengers (also called neurotransmitters) in the synaptic cleft. These messengers then bind to the receptors present on the post-synaptic nerve cell and regenerate the nerve impulse.
Answer: False
A lake is a water body that is surrounded by land. The water in the lake comes from melting glaciers, rain, groundwater, rivers. Lake formation also occurs when a water body is restricted to it's natural flow. Erosion due to wind and water will limit the life of lake. As, soil removed during landslides or mudslides from hills or mountains get settled as debris at the bottom of lake will cause water pollution. Also, soil coming from agricultural field through water will carry in it fertilizers ,which will promote excessive plant and algal growth in lakes therefore, oxygen content of lake water will decrease which lead to death of animals residing in lake hence, will ultimately lead to water pollution ,which will be responsible for limiting the life of lake.
