Answer:
C, a decrease in metabolic activity
Explanation:
Water is an essential compound needed for the survival of all organisms in nature.
The bulk of most organisms is made up of water. Most importantly, water is integral part of cellular metabolic processes.
- In the time of drought, metabolic activities will reduce.
- Organisms will tend to be inactive so as to conserve the little water they might have access to.
- This is an important adaption for organisms.
Answer: happen or take place
Answer:
1). Xeroderma pigmentation.
2). Ataxia-telangiectasia.
Explanation:
DNA repair processes include all the processes, which help in identification and correction of errors or damages in DNA. Defects in DNA repair mechanisms that increase risks for developing cancers and various other disorders. Two conditions related to faulty DNA repair are:
1). Xeroderma pigmentation (XP): XP can be defined as a genetic disorder, due to mutations in genes involved in repair processes. It leads to severe sunburn and freckling due to sun exposure, dry skin and skin pigmentation. People having xeroderma pigmentation are prone for skin cancer.
2). Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT): AT is caused bu mutation in ATM gene (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) gene, which in involved in nucleotide-excision repair pathway. It leads to severe disability in children and increases risk for developing lymphomas and leukemia.
The nucleus is responsible for housing the nucleolus, storing DNA, and housing chromosomes. Digesting bacteria is the responsibility of a different organelle.
