To prevent acid from seeping in the stomach, the stomach cells join one another via

Biology

The stomach and the cells that comprise it have a three-part protection system to protect from the acid contained in the stomach, comprised mostly of compact cell unions.

The stomach is one of the main digestive tract organs. Its job is to break down the food we ingest and pass it along to the rest of the digestive tract. To perform this action, the stomach secrets hydrochloric acid. However, the stomach itself is not damaged by this acid due to a three-part protective system comprised of:

  1. Tight epithelial cell lining
  2. Mucose Barrier
  3. Bicarbonate secretion

The cells present in the epithelial lining of the stomach join one another via compact cell unions to form a closed barrier which is then covered by a thick Mucose barrier. This along with the secretion of bicarbonate which works to break up the acids present in the stomach and ingested, form a sealed barrier that protects the stomach from harm.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

3.5 percent (3.5%)

Explanation:

In genetics, <em>crossing over</em> or 'recombination' refers to the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I. The map units (m.u.), also known as centimorgans, represent a measure of genetic linkage between genes/<em>loci</em> located on the same chromosome. One map unit (1 m.u.) is equal to a 1 percent chance that two gene/<em>loci</em> (in this case, genes H and K) will be separated during meiosis by recombination. In the example above, it means that among their progeny, 3.5 percent (3.5%) will be recombinant for the two genes (H and K), and 96.5 percent (96.5%) will have the parental combination of these genes.

If an animal fossil was found in a rock, what would be the best way to determine its absolute age?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Absolute age is defined as the numeric age of fossils.

To identify the absolute age of a fossil,  the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock are measured. When fossils are formed in the rocks, a small amounts of radioactive elements is included in it. The process to identify age of fossil using radioactive elements is known radiometric dating. So, radioactive isotope and its decay product gives absolute age of fossils.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".
