Answer:

Explanation:

Shortage of nutrients in an ecosstem can harm an organism because when nutrients are scarse or very limited for organism and did not meet up with the organism requirements, there will be reduced metabolism and this can cause malfunction. Shortage of nutrients can lead to decline in growth and can lead to spring up of some diseases in the organism because enough nutrients us not available for good metabolic processes and fight diseases.

For example when an organism is deficient in vitamins and carbohydrates, the organism will not have energy to power metabolic processes and for it's activities and vitamins deficient will make the organism not to have the ability to fight against disease.

Too much of nutrients also affect organisms negatively. When there is much build up of nutrients, it can be harmful to the organisms and restrict metabolic processes.

For example too much of nutriwnts like too much of fat can block blood artieries and veins and thus can lead to inability of blood to flow .

The pupil is the adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters. transparent structure that focuses ligh
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

1) IRIS

2) LENS

3) RETINA

4) Fovea Centralis

Note: Answers 1 - 4 follows question pattern

Explanation:

The PUPIL is the hole in the MIDDLE of the IRIS of the eye, through which light passes to be focused on the RETINA.

The IRIS is the contractile membrane perforated by the pupil, which adjusts to control the amount of light reaching the retina, and which forms the colored portion of the eye

ACCOMMODATION is the change in the adjustment of the eye lens to help focus light ray.

RETINA helps to receive light rays that the lens has focused. It contains two cells: rods and cones

Fovea Centralis is at the center of the retina responsible for sharp and accurate vision, also it is where cones cells cluster.

Whats the difference between the process of cell division and the process of mitosis
creativ13 [48]

There are four phases to the cell cycle: G1, where the cell grows; S phase, where DNA is duplicated; G2, where the cell makes final preparations for cell division; and M phase, where the cell enters mitosis. Mitosis, or cell division, is only a small part of the cell cycle

Pairs of Unit Factors, or Genes

Mendel proposed that paired unit factors of heredity were transmitted faithfully from generation to generation by the dissociation and reassociation of paired factors during gametogenesis and fertilization, respectively. After he crossed peas with contrasting traits and found that the recessive trait resurfaced in the F2 generation, Mendel deduced that hereditary factors must be inherited as discrete units. This finding contradicted the belief at that time that parental traits were blended in the offspring.

A gene is made up of short sections of DNA that are contained on a chromosome within the nucleus of a cell. Genes control the development and function of all organs and all working systems in the body. A gene has a certain influence on how the cell works; the same gene in many different cells determines a certain physical or biochemical feature of the whole body (e.g., eye color or reproductive functions). All human cells hold approximately 21,000 different genes.

Genetics is the science of the way traits are passed from parent to offspring. For all forms of life, continuity of the species depends upon the genetic code being passed from parent to offspring. Evolution by natural selection is dependent on traits being heritable. Genetics is very important in human physiology because all attributes of the human body are affected by a person’s genetic code. It can be as simple as eye color, height, or hair color. Or it can be as complex as how well your liver processes toxins, whether you will be prone to heart disease or breast cancer, and whether you will be color
