The answer to your question is 2
So the main difference here is that a somatic cell is all the cell's in your body except for your reproductive cells. Those reproductive cells are called gametes. So, when a mutation occurs in a somatic cell, it really doesn't do much because it's one cell out of trillions in your body. However if a mutation occurs within a gamete, that gamete gets inherited in the offspring during sexual reproduction, and become the *blueprint* for an entire human being. That small mutation would be present in every cell throughout the whole body. Thus, that is why a mutation in a gamete, has much more severe biological consequences vs a mutation in a somatic cell. Hope this helped!
The option which is not a characteristic of chordates is chloroplasts in their cells.
Chordates do have a dorsal supporting rod (vertebrates are types of chordates - they have a spine), a dorsal hollow nerve cord (within the spine), and pharyngeal pouches. However, they do not have chloroplasts, because that is a characteristic of photoautothropic eukaryotes, which chordates certainly are not.
Answer:
fixed action pattern, key stimulus; key stimulus, fixed action pattern
Explanation:
- An innate behavior which specific to a species and is highly stereotyped is termed as a fixed action pattern.
- This behavior occurs due to a neuronal network that is hard-wired in the species and the response is said to be generated following a key stimulus.
- A key stimulus is the one that generates a fixed action pattern and this is also called a releaser.
- A key stimulus can be in the form of shape, sound, color, or a combination of these.
- In this case, the red spot is a stimulus for the chicks which causes them to peck at their parent's bill, and hence, the red spot is a key stimulus, and pecking of the chicks is a fixed action pattern.
- The parents regurgitate the food only when the chicks peck at their bills, so pecking is a key stimulus for the parents which causes them to regurgitate the food which is a fixed action pattern.
Answer:
1) All living things are made up of cells.
2) Cells are the building blocks/smallest unit of life.
3) All cells come from preexisting cells (cell division).
