The intended response fails to be produced.*In order for a drug to produce its intended response, its blood levels must reach the minimum effective concentration. When enzymes responsible for metabolizing and preparing drugs for elimination are more active as a result of a genetic variation, sensitive drugs are eliminated more rapidly, and a "normal" dose may not be high enough to allow the drug to be retained long enough to reach the MEC.

Where do echinoderms live?
rosijanka [135]
The phylum Echinodermata , which contains about 6000 species, gets its name from the Greek, literally meaning "spiny skin." Many echinoderms actually do have "spiny" skin, but others do not. This phylum exists exclusively in the sea, and cannot be found on land or in fresh water.

After the worms have finished eating their food, the students must now weigh the worms and record this data. They can then compare these new weights to the starting weights of the worms and see if it demonstrates their hypothesis. Hope this helped :)

Explanation:

According to National Geographic, ostriches are a part of a very small group of birds that cannot fly because unlike most birds, their small wings are not strong enough to carry their body for flight and their breastbone isn't balanced enough for flying. Birds that are unable to fly are called ratites.

A number of scientists namely Thomas Huxley, Richard Owen, and others have tried to show that these ratites are actually related to each other and eventually, it was discovered that they all had one thing in common, the way the bones at the roof of the mouth were arranged was similar to that of reptiles rather than other birds.

Richard Owen found and assembled the remains of an extinct ostrich skeleton which was an extinct moa and contrary to already held opinion, one ratite known as tinamous did not really fit with the profile of a ratite because it could fly, even though almost grudgingly and they possessed keeled sternum which suggests that they evolved from flying birds.

DNA tests showed that tinamous evolved within ratites and not necessarily as a separate entity. The tests also showed that moas and tinamous are related.

It was also speculated that the division of the supercontinent Pangaea southern side led to the separation of flightless ratite ancestors, causing each landlocked group to evolve and become the flightless birds we know today such as the ostrich, rheas, etc.
