Apparent death, colloquially known as playing dead, feigning death, or playing possum, is a behavior in which animals take on the appearance of being dead. This form of animal deception is an adaptive behavior also known as tonic immobility or thanatosis. Apparent death can be used as a defense mechanism or as a form of aggressive mimicry, and occurs in a wide range of animals.

When induced by humans, the state is sometimes colloquially known as animal hypnosis. According to Gilman et al.,[1] the investigation of "animal hypnosis" dates back to the year 1646 in a report by Athanasius Kircher.

Which transport mechanisms require the formation of a vesicles to transport material into or out of the cell?
Ksenya-84 [330]
The answer is D because <span>In </span>exocytosis<span>, materials are </span>exported<span> out of the cell via secretory vesicles. In this process, the Golgi complex packages macromolecules into transport vesicles that travel to and fuse with the plasma membrane. This fusion causes the vesicle to spill its contents out of the cell. Exocytosis is important in expulsion of waste materials out of the cell and in the secretion of cellular products such as digestive enzymes or hormones.</span>

What is carrying capacity and WHY is it
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Carrying capacity shows how much you can carry, over being more than what you can carry and under being less than you can carry. It is bad to be over capacity because you would be carrying more than you are physically able to.

Assuming that the rest of the genome is normal, cells with an inactivating mutation in one copy of a tumor-suppressor gene with
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Assuming that the rest of the genome is normal, cells with an inactivating mutation in one copy of a tumor-suppressor gene with the second copy of the gene still wild-type are most likely to show no changes in DNA sequence.

Tumor suppressor genes are normally present in the body. These function properly and keep processing the cell growth and cell death (apoptosis). It can also suppress tumor development. If both copies of a tumor suppressor gene is mutated then only it cause a change in cell growth and form a tumor. So these are recessive in nature. And if only one gene is mutated then it shows no mutation. When a tumor suppressor gene is inactivated by mutation, the protein it encodes is not produced or does not function properly, and as a result, uncontrolled cell division can occur. Such mutations can contribute to the development of cancer.
