All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of beneficial DNA mutations.
Beneficial genetic (DNA) mutations are result in individuals with special characteristics that allow them to survive better in the environment so they pass their genes to the next generation.
Here's a fictional example I made just for you!: Lets say you have an alien species called Hibas. They are jelly blobs that float around, don't move, and open their mouths to capture neon shrimps that happen to swim into their mouths. But one day a certain Hiba developed some muscles through a genetic mutation. It was able to "wiggle" through the water and steer itself instead of floating around. This allowed it to eat more neon shrimp than the other Hibas, so it grew faster and was able to reproduce faster. It's kids also had muscles and had an advantage so they reproduced faster then the other Hibas. Eventually the whole Hiba species started to have muscles because the ones that didn't weren't able to compete and did not survive as well.
The reason that most of the Hibas developed muscles was because one of them had a mutation that allowed it to have muscles. This was a BENEFICIAL mutation that allowed it to SURVIVE BETTER.
Animalia and Fungi I believe.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The correct statement is that the there is a difference in protein which is found in the outer membrane and inner membrane of the mitochondria.
The inner membrane of the mitochondria is folded to allow maximum surface area for the energy production.
The inner part of the mitochondria contains the enzyme ATPase for energy production.
The outer membrane of the mitochondria contains enzymes for the export and import of the various materials with the help of TOM40 complex and TIM23 complex.
Answer:
The correct answer is - tend to lose water by osmosis since their internal salt concentration is lower than that of seawater.
Explanation:
In freshwater fishes, the body of fishes has a higher salt concentration inside their body than the surrounding water, water enters through the osmosis process. Without any active regulation of this process, fishes would swell and get bigger and bigger. They have specialized cells called chloride cells in gills to take ions from water as they do not have kidneys.
In contrast, the marine fishes have a lower salt concentration in their body than surrounding water of sea or ocean and they lose water continuously and to compensate for this they need to drink water regularly.
Answer:
The best explanation if we observe an epithelial cell with chromosomes are visible and two cell nuclei is that the cell has just gone through telophase but not cytokinesis (option b).
Explanation:
A somatic cell, when found in mitosis, exhibits the chromosomes distributed in both poles and the outline of two nuclei in the telophase phase, just before cytokinesis.
In mitotic telophase:
- Chromatids, which are chromosomes, are found in the cell poles.
- It initiates the formation of the nucleus membrane.
- The chromosomes begin to turn into chromatin.
- Disappearance of the mitotic spindle, duplication of organelles and cytoplasmic invagination.
The division and differentiation of the nuclei in telophase is called karyokinesis. Later, cytokinesis occurs, where the daughter cells are separated.
The other options are not correct because:
<em> a and d. In the other phases described, </em><em><u>S and G1,</u></em><em> no chromosome distribution is observed at the poles.</em>
<em> c. A somatic cell does not experience </em><em><u>meiosis</u></em><em>.</em>
