Answer:

C. The baby is more likely to be malformed

Explanation:

Each class of food has its own specific role to play in the development of the body. Protein is one of the nost important class of food needed for growth and development of body tissues. Likewise, vitamins and minerals which are also needed for fresh skin and bone & teeth structure respectively.

However, in the case of Marlena that has a low calorie intake due to poor consumption of proteins, vitamins and minerals, her body will be deficient of certain nutrients required for optimal growth and development. Hence, leading to a deformation or malformation in the baby in her uterus.

Elenna [48]
Since all of the three beetle species posses the protein, we can use it to determine their relations. We can study the sequence of the amino acids that make the protein and the 3D structure of the protein. The more differences there are in amino acid sequences and the structure of the protein, the species are more distantly related because they have diverged a long time ago and their genes that produce that protein have undergone many changes over time.

The fact that choanoflagellates and collar cells of sponges resemble each other supports the inference that ________. Group of a
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

choanoflagellates and sponges are sister groups

Explanation:

The choanoflagellates are small unicellular organisms belonging to the Protista kingdom. These microorganisms are collared flagellates morphologically similar to the choanocyte cells of animal sponges, which have a central flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli. In consequence, it has been suggested that choanoflagellates may represent the closest living relatives of primitive metazoans (i.e., they are sister groups to sponges). This hypothesis has recently been supported by both molecular phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses.

Answer:

Catalase

Explanation:

Catalase test is used to detect the presence of enzyme catalase.

Catalase is an enzyme that is formed by microorganism that lives in oxygen saturated environments so that there will be the break down of any toxic that comes with oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. This enzymes helps to differentiate catalase producing enzymes like staphylococci from bacteria that produce non-catalase like streptococci
