Answer: The correct answer is- C) vacuole.

Large central Vacuole is a specialized fluid filled organelle, present only in plant cell. It is primarily involved in providing support and shape to the plant cell by maintaining the turgor pressure ( a hydrostatic force that is produced due to the cell contents against the inner side of the cell wall). The central vacuole stores water ( that flows through osmosis) and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.

Turgor pressure provides mechanical support and helps in the growth and development of plant.

The plant cell organelle which helps in maintaining the shape of the cell by maintaining turgor pressure is vacuole.

Further Explanation:

The vacuole is an organelle which is mainly present in animal and plant also. There is a difference in size of plant and animal vacuole. Plant cells contain vacuole in the centre of the cell which is much larger than the animal vacuole. Animal cells contain multiple vacuoles that are scattered in the cytoplasm of the cell. They contain membrane-bound sacs. The cell membranes of vacuoles are made up of phospholipids. Proteins are embedded in the cell membrane to transport small molecule. Most plant cells use vacuoles to store water. Animals don’t use vacuole as water storage they store product for endocytosis and exocytosis.

The major functions of vacuoles are:

  • To store water in plants
  • To provide turgor pressure
  • To store material of exocytosis and endocytosis
  • To store fat cells

Manly in plants, a large vacuole is present. This vacuole is enclosed by a cytoplasmic membrane which is tonoplast. This layer can easily stretch and fill with solution. They can easily fill with proton and create acidic environment inside the cell. The development of chemical gradient is helps in transporting material inside and outside of vacuole. They use proton motive force to transport molecule. The vacuole when filled completely with water exerts a pressure on walls of cells called turgor pressure. These force help in maintaining the shape of the cell. Also, allow cells to stand up in rain, wind and hail.

Cinnabar colored eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are autosomal recessive genes and lobe shaped eyes (L) is an autosomal domi
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct genotypic notation for a wild type with phenotypic characteristics: red eyes, long bristle and round eyes will be any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl or CNRdl if c, n, r and d are capable of independent assortment and CNRDl if they cannot.

Explanation:

The eye color and bristle size is coordinated by either recessive cn and dominant CN or Cn genes. The wild type in questions has red color eyes, which is a dominant trait coordinated by CN or Cn if c and n can undergo assortment independently or just CN if they cannot. The second characteristics of the wild type is long bristle. We were told that reduced bristle is coordinated by recessive rd Gene. Then the long bristle in our specimen wild type will have dominant genotypic notification of RD or Rd, depending if r and d can undergo assortment independently. The last trait is a round eyes, which is a recessive trait controlled by recessive allele l. Therefore, the combined characteristics of red eye color, long bristle and round eyes shape of the wild type will be CNRDl or any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl CNRdl depending on the segregation pattern of c, n, r and d.

Sort the different barriers into their modes of reproductive isolation. A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to
Stella [2.4K]

Answer/Explanation:

Types of reproductive isolation include: temporal, ecological, mechanical, and behavioural.

A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to mate with a snail having a conical shell - this is an example of mechanical isolation, where the animals are physically unable to mate due to incompatible body shapes and sizes.

The reproductive organs of male bush babies do not match with the reproductive organs of females of other bush baby species. - this is another example of mechanical isolation, as the sexual organs will physically not allow reproduction between these species

The mating call of a cricket is not recognized by a cricket of other species - this is an example of behavioural isolation, which results from incompatible mating rituals. I.e. the animals do not respond to each others mating behaviours

The signals sent by a male firefly are not recognized by the female firefly of other species. - this is also an example of behavioural isolation.

Temporal isolation is where species cannot interact because they do not have the same mating seasons or are not active at the same type of day. ?Ecological isolation occurs when two species do not come into physical contact to one another because they access different areas of the habitat. E.g. mating zones, food sources or nesting sites.

Psoriasis is a skin disease that manifests itself in symptoms of varying severity. It is a chronic disease that can not be cured but can be alleviated by many treatments (like chemotherapy).
Photochemotherapy: also called P-UVA. It consists of the combination of UVA (a type of UV light) radiation after the local or oral administration of a psoralen that acts as a sensitizing photo. It is used alternately in patients for whom UVB (another type of UV) has no effect, as P-UVA is more effective and longer-lasting, but is associated with basiloma (basal cell carcinoma) and melanoma.
