Answer:

D. A population with high genetic biodiversity is better able to respond to environmental stressors.

Explanation:

The genetic biodiversity of a species is the diversity of alleles that it possesses in its genetic pool. For a given gene, a population can have one or more alleles; and the more alleles the population has, it will be more diverse. Under normal conditions (without stress), the alleles that are present in high frequency in a population,  are those that best respond to the environment where the population occurs. However, if some environmental condition changes and some type of environmental stress emerge (ie drought), it is possible that these alleles no longer respond equally effectively and then, it is possible that the  alleles that on normal conditions occur with low frequency, are more adequate to face the stress. A population with fewer alleles (less genetic diversity) has terefore fewer options to deal with environmental stressors and<u> a population with high genetic biodiversity</u> will do this better.

Answer:

This mutation will produce an enzyme with modified hydrogenase activity

Explanation:

The allosteric site is critical to switch on/off the enzyme activity. The enzymes with allosteric activity are regulated by binding an effector molecule in a different site to the active site of the enzyme.

You sprint as hard as you can until you physically can’t run anymore. Describe the contributions of as many systems as you can t
tamaranim1 [39]

When you are running at high intensity many body systems are being influenced by running and providing some responses in your body.

Running stimulates the cardio respiratory system, making your heart work harder by pumping a large amount of blood into your body, the blood flow starts to be fast and to compensate for this effort you will have to breathe more, taking more oxygen for your organs and tissues.

The muscular and bone systems are stimulated and trained providing greater resistance and strength for your muscles and lower bones.

During the run, the urinary system is also affected, because running is able to improve kidney function, allowing the expulsion of toxic substances from your body to be done more efficiently.

Finally, running stimulates the endocrine system by causing it to release hormones of well-being and relaxation that help you rest and feel good after running.
