Genetically identical armadillos were kept in the same controlled environment from birth and provided the same diet. Even though

the animals were genetically identical and shared the same mother, they showed variations in their phenotypes that were beyond the normal range in expression.
Based upon today’s knowledge of genetics, which explanation describes the most likely cause of the phenotypic variations?

Phenotypic variations in genetically identical organisms that grow in the same controlled environment may be due to mutation.

<h3>Mutation</h3>

This refers to a sudden change to the DNA sequence of living organisms.

When the DNA base sequence of organisms changes, the effect is shown in the morphology of organisms.

For organisms that are genetically identical but grow in different environments, phenotypic variations might exist as a result of environmentally acquired traits during the struggle to adapt to their environments.

In the same environment, however, genetically identical organisms are not expected to be phenotypically different, unless a mutation to the DNA of one has occurred.

Macrophage cells undergo a process called phagocytosis in which material is brought into a cell in the form of membrane vesicles
Naddik [55]

The correct answer is: A. minus end; dynein

Microtubules are cytoskeletal fibers that have an important role in the intracellular transport (movement of vesicles within the cell) and in the mitotic spindle during mitosis. The plus end of the microtubules extend through the periphery of the cells while the minus ends are anchored within the centrosome.

Necessary proteins for the vesicle’s movement are motor proteins:

• kinesin  which is positive end directed

•  dynein which is negative end directed

So, beside vesicles these proteins are also involved in organelles’ transport in opposite directions through the cytoplasm.

Why do farmers plough their field during summer?
Klio2033 [76]
Consequently plant roots will get more moisture with less effort. It also improves soil structure due to alternate drying and cooling and soil aeration which helps in multiplication of micro-organisms. This is the reason that farmers plough their field during summer.

Hope this helps!
