Answer:

This question lacks options, the complete question is: What do you think would have the greatest effect on the body—a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell, or a harmful mutation in an adult multipotent stem cell?The correct answer is a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell.

Explanation:

Pluripotent Stem Cells can self-renew and differentiate into any of the three germ layers, which are: the ectoderm, the endoderm and the mesoderm. These three germ layers subsequently differentiate to form all the tissues and organs within a human being. If during embryonic development, genetic mutations - alterations in genes - occur in the embryonic stem cell, they pass to daughter cells as a consequence of cell division, and an individual is generated whose cells differ at the genetic level. Multipotent stem cells are organospecific cells, that is, they can give rise to any type of cells but from a specific organ (a lung, a kidney or the brain). Their differentiation ends the moment they specialize and become a cell with a specific function within a specific tissue or organ. If there were a mutation in these cells, it would damage a specific designed tissue or organ.

zimovet [89]
I believe if her hypothesis was incorrect the percentage of the large lobsters with large pincers would decrease. The large pincers help the lobsters to quickly catch their pray efficiently. This would mean the survival of the lobsters with large pincers. A wrong hypothesis would mean that the large pincer lobsters would die and decrease in number.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: upper esophageal sphincter.

Explanation:

The alimentary canal is a very long tract responsible for the digestion of the food. It is composed of several organs with many different and important functions. The alimentary canal also has a few sphincters, which are muscular valves that open and close when needed for the food to pass or be retained.

The first sphincter is the upper esophageal sphincter. One particularity of this sphincter is that is one of the few sphincters in the body that opens and closes under our conscious control, which happens when we decide to swallow our food.

From the first to the last, the order of the sphincters in the gastrointestinal tract is: upper esophageal sphincter, lower esophageal sphincter or gastroesophageal sphincter, pyloric sphincter, ileocecal sphincter, and anus.
