A research study looked at variations in snail populations in urban areas compared to natural ecosystems outside of the urban de

velopment. Urban areas tend to be be warmer, trapping more solar energy and reflecting less light back out of the atmosphere. The study found that brown snails were more commonly found in the natural ecosystem while yellow banded snails were found in the urban, developed areas. Which statement best describes the distribution in the phenotypes for the snails in this scenario?
A) The variations in the snail populations are random and unrelated to the locations.

B) The variation in the snail population is due to sexual reproduction of the snails in the urban development and asexual reproduction of the snails in the natural ecosystem.

C) The variation in the snail population is due to mutations while the distribution of colors in the population is due to genetic drift. The location of the colors is a random process.

D) The variation in the snail populations is due to mutations while the distribution of colors in the population is due to the changes in temperature in the two areas. Lighter colored snails survive with greater frequency in the warmer urban development.

If a cell has made extra copies of itself but then they divide in half , the first copy gets DNA but the second doesn't. What el
posledela
Mitosis is the process of cell division that creates a new cell identical to the original. Somatic cells, such as muscles, hair and skin, undergo mitosis regularly in humans and other organisms. This is an important type of cell division needed to facilitate the repair of damaged cells, growth and replacement of old cells with new ones.
When a new cell is created, it must have the same library of genetic information all other cells in the body have access to. Because all the material in the new cell must come from the first cell, the original cell must make a copy of its DNA before completing the process of mitosis. These two sets of DNA only exist for as long as it takes the cell to undergo mitosis, which can be anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes in certain human cells. When the cell division is complete, both of the cells have a single identical copy of DNA.

In times of stress the adrenal glands secrete stress hormones such as
Levart [38]
The adrenal glands respond to stress by secreting Epinephrine, and Norepinephrine. Epinephrine causes the blood vessels to narrow, and it also opens up airways in the lungs. Norepinephrine increases the heart rate and blood pressure, and it also causes the energy stores to release glucose.

If LAL (limulus amebocyte lysate) turns into a gel when exposed to a sample, it
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

Gram negative bacteria is a type of bacteria that possesses, from the interior to the exterior, a cytoplasmic membrane, a thin peptidoglycan layer, and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide. The lipid portion of the lipopolysaccharide complex of the outer layer acts as an ENDOTOXIN.

The endotoxin of the gram negative bacteria can be detected in research or biomedical laboratories through a technique called LIMULUS AMEBOCYTE LYSATE test.

The test procedure follows a principle that the endotoxin of these gram negative bacteria are capable of forming gel clots (coagulation) of blood cell (amoebocytes) lysates of the Limulus polyphemus crab.

Therefore, If LAL (limulus amebocyte lysate) turns into a gel when exposed to a sample, it

means the sample is contaminated with endotoxins of gram-negative bacteria.
