How does a cells surface area change compared to its volume when the cell grows

Biology
1 answer:
EastWind [94]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As a cell grows bigger, its internal volume enlarges and the cell membrane expands. Unfortunately, the volume increases more rapidly than does the surface area, and so the relative amount of surface area available to pass materials to a unit volume of the cell steadily decreases.

A species of elm has winged-seeds. How would biologists explain how a species of elm with winged-seeds evolved from an ancestral
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

In an ancestral elm species, mutations gave rise to the phenotypic trait "winged-seeds". Subsequently, selection favored elm plants with winged-seeds that diverged over time to become a separate species

Explanation:

A mutation is a genetic change in the DNA sequence. In general, mutations have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual (i.e., mutations are generally deleterious) and therefore they disappear from the population. However, there are situations where mutations are beneficial and confer an adaptive advantage, thereby increasing their frequency in the population. In this case, mutations associated with the formation of winged-seeds conferred an adaptive advantage (i.e., higher seed dispersal capacity) to individuals who had this phenotypic trait, thereby these individuals had more chances to reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. Eventually, Elm plants with winged-seeds accumulated sufficient genetic differences to prevent interbreeding, leading to the formation of a separate species.

Physical differences in beaks of birds would develop as a result of different environmental changes.

<h3>What is Evolution?</h3>

This is described as the process in which heritable characteristics are changed in species over successive generations. This occurs as a result of natural selection in which the traits suitable for survival are passed to the offspring.

This is usually as a result of a change in the environmental factors which ensures that the organisms are able to adapt so as not to die out and go extinct in this type of scenario.
