Cells are made up smaller units called organelles that undertake various critical roles in the activities of the cell. Some of these organelles include, mitochondria whose major function is formation and production of energy in the form of ATP, Ribosome is an organelle involved in the protein synthesis, lysosome is involved in the destruction of old and worn out tissues and organelles, Golgi apparatus or complex helps in transportation, modification and packaging of secretions such as proteins and lipids. Therefore, alcoholism affects the activity of lysosomes in the liver since they are tasked in the digestion of proteins using hydrolytic enzymes.
Answer:
Becuase they break down and feed on organic molecules (the remains of dead organisms) and release inorganic molecules
Explanation:
False , only camouflage is a physical adaptation
Answer: The correct answer for the given mechanisms influencing gene pool are the mechanisms of evolutionary change, which are described as follows-
1) Gene Flow
- It is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.
-A zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.
2) Natural Selection
- A mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.
-Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.
3) Mutation
- Permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.
-The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.
4) Genetic Drift - It is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.
-A grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
A chromosome consists of a single, double-stranded DNA molecule. Chromatids are two molecules of double-stranded DNA joined together in the center by a centromere. Chromosomes have a thin ribbon-like structure. Chromatids have a thin and long fibrous structure.
