Answer:

The advantage of this is that there is a larger surface area exposed, more time available and shorter difference for exchange of oxygen.

Red Blood Cells are approximately 0.01 mm, so only one can pass through the small capillary. The advantage of this is that there is a larger surface area exposed, more time available and shorter difference for exchange of oxygen.

Why do you think<br> organisms in the<br> same kingdom are<br> not all identical?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Evolution, mutation, and adaptation

Explanation:

Since different organisms adapt to different environments and receive different mutations, they adapt differently and slowly change. That is why there are different species of birds, just look at the galapagos islands, there are thousands of species of finches that changed to survive on each island. The same could be said for every organism since the early organisms that we evolved from were widespread, some evolved differently than others, leading to different fish, different lizards, different early mammals, and so on. That is why humans look different than dogs or cats, we evolved best to our environment so we could survive.

Transposable elements make up 44% of the human genome. What is thought to be their function?
AfilCa [17]

Transposable elements are considered to be responsible for vast range of genome diversity and gene silencing.

Explanation:

Transposable elements are short sequences of DNA that have the ability to move from one location to another in the genome. During this process they copy themselves.

The entire process carried out by transposable elements to copy themselves and move from one location to another is called transposition.

Transposition may result in mutation and is potentially a major source of genome diversity and change. If a transposon inserts itself into the coding region of a gene,it interrupts the coding sequence and inactivates the gene expression.

In addition to this, a transposable element may contain transcription or translation termination signal that will block the gene expression downstream of insertion site.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. Stretch receptors in the wall of the urinary bladder signal the sacral region of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

The answers that take place automatically and quickly are called reflexes. When the smooth muscle in the bladder wall is stretched, the micturition reflex is triggered. Micturition (Urination) is the act of emptying the bladder (urinating). When the bladder is full of urine, the bladder wall stretch receptors trigger the micturition reflex. The detrusor muscle surrounding the bladder contracts. The internal urethral sphincter relaxes and allows urine to leave the bladder and pass into the urethra. Those two reactions are involuntary. The external urethral sphincter is voluntary. You must relax so that the urine passes through the urethra and leaves the body.
