Answer:

e. secretion, absorption and chemical protection

Explanation:

Epithelial tissues is responsible for the protection of the skin, absorption of nutrients during digestion and secretion of waste materials. These tissues form covering to all body surfaces. They also perform a variety of other functions such as excretion of waste substances, filtration of air from dirt and particles and clean the air that is inhaled, diffusion, and sensory reception.

Which of the following is not a step in the process of natural selection
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

A step that is not part of natural selection is people select which individuals breed and which ones do not.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process in which favorable or unfavorable environmental conditions determine the evolution of species, producing differences in their genotype over a long period of time.

As its name indicates, it is a natural selection, in which no intervention by people is contemplated, so that <u>people cannot determine which individuals breed</u>.

Natural selection implies that the characteristics on which the environment influences are inheritable, that there is genetic variability in the population and that the variability of these characteristics implies the ease of reproduction and survival capacity.

<em>The other options do form part of natural selection, since they are based on the three premises of this process: </em>

  • <em>Inheritable characteristics. </em>
  • <em>Genetic variability. </em>
  • <em>The variability of characteristics influences reproduction and survival.</em>

How does the sexual life cycle of the human species introduce genetic variations?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

In humans, genetic variations are caused because humans reproduce by a sexual life cycle which is termed as meiosis. In such a life cycle, the offspring receives half the chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. Crossing over and  random assortment of chromosomes are two phenomenons which occur during meiosis. Due to these two phenomenons, genetic variations are caused.

During crossing over, the exchange of DNA segments between the homologous chromosomes takes place which brings about the genetic variations.
