Suppose that of a cohort of 150 mice in a mouse colony born in February, 125 are still at the end of March and 115 are still ali

ve at the end of April. What is the survivorship up to the start of April? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer: Survival rate up to start of April = 76.67%

Explanation: size of colony = 150mice.

Size of colony in February =125mice.

Size of colony in march = 115 mice.

1. Survivorship rate in February

= Size of colony / size in February *100.

= 122 / 150 * 100

= 83.33% to the nearest hundredth

2. Survivorship rate in march

= Size of colony / size in march *100.

= 115/150 * 100

= 76.67% to the nearest hundredth.

g Indicate true (T) and false (F) statements below regarding cytokinesis in animal cells. Choose the correct answer represented
frozen [14]
<h2>Cytokinesis in animal cells</h2>

Explanation:

  • The force for cytokinesis is generated by kinesin motors on microtubule bundles that form the contractile ring:This statement is false because cytokinesis in animal cells starts with the assembly of contractile ring,contractile band consists of actin and myosin(microfilaments) which catalyse cleavage furrow formation
  • As the contractile ring constricts, its thickness increases to keep a constant volume:This statement is false because thickness remains constant
  • The midbody forms from bundles of actin and myosin: This statement is false because contractile ring forms bundles of actin and myosin whereas midbody is formed from microtubules
  • Local activation of Ran GTPase triggers the assembly and contraction of the contractile ring:This statement is false because local activation of Rho mediates profilin binding to actin and helps in assembly and contraction of contractile ring

The increase in the concentration of contaminants in the tissues of animals high on the food chain is termed which of the follow
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

(A) Bioaccumulation

Explanation:

When the concentration of certain substances in the bodies of the organisms of various trophic levels keeps on increasing as they pass through the food chain, the process is called bioaccumulation or biomagnification.

Most of the organic non-biodegradable pollutants/chemicals exhibit bioaccumulation. Being insoluble in water, these chemicals are accumulated in the fat tissues of the organisms.

As the predator feeds on the prey having a non-biodegradable chemical in its tissues, the chemical enters the body of the predator.

As these chemicals pass through the food chain, there is a gradual increase in their concentration stored in the living tissues of the organisms. Therefore, the top consumers exhibit maximum bioaccumulation of contaminants in a food chain.

During the transmission of signals across a neuromuscular junction, which of the following happens first?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is A acetylcholine binds to a receptor protein on the motor end plate

Explanation:

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released by the motor neuron during the transmission of signals across a neuromuscular junction.

         The released acetylcholine then diffuses the synaptic cleft and binds to the receptor protein present on the membrane of muscle fibre.

         This ultimately result in the influx of sodium ion inside the muscle cell thereby causing depolarization to generate an action potential.
