Answer:
C) cell differentiation.
Explanation:
Cell differentiation is a process undergone by a cell in which it changes to a specialized form. During the process of cell differentiation, some genes in a single cell becomes turned off or on in a process called GENE EXPRESSION to give rise to cells with specialized functions.
This is the case of this sponge whose specialized cells perform unique functions like ingesting food, support, and reproduction. The specialization of the cells within the sponge is as a result of the process of CELL DIFFERENTIATION.
Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes.
Answer:
Evolution
Explanation:
Whenever a species changes over a period of time, it's called Evolution, which is (normally) driven by Natural Selection.

In this work, several simulations and analyses are carried out to investigate the feasibility of generating electricity from underwater sea currents at Istanbul Bosphorus Strait. Bosphorus is a natural canal which forms a border between Europe and Asia by connecting Black Sea and Marmara Sea. The differences in elevation and salinity ratios between these two seas cause strong marine currents. Depending on the morphology of the canal the speed of the flow varies and at some specific locations the energy intensity reaches to sufficient levels where electricity generation by marine current turbines becomes economically feasible.
In this study, several simulations are performed for a 10 MW marine turbine farm/cluster whose location is selected by taking into account several factors such as the canal morphology, current speed and passage of vessels. 360 different simulations are performed for 15 different virtual sea states. Similarly, 8 different configurations are analyzed in order to find the optimum spacing between the turbines. Considering the spatial variations in the current speed within the selected region, the analyses are performed for three different flow speeds corresponding to ±10% change in the average value. For each simulation the annual energy yield and cluster efficiency are calculated.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is related to the positive feedback/reward system of mammal brains. Higher amounts of dopamine released in response to any stimulation will result in a stronger desire to recreate that stimulus. One could say that the extra dopamine released during drug use causes the brain to desire using the drug again to receive that same pleasurable reward sensation. <span />
