How do cells such as algae and protists avoid lysis in fresh water?

The protists were able to avoid lysis by having its function of the contractile vacuole in which it helps in pumping the water which are enough or excess to get it out of the cell. While the algae avoids lysis was because of its cell wall that is rigid in nature.

Which type of natural selection occurs when an intermediate phenotype is favored?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.

Explanation:

There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.

A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.

A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.

The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Courtney is looking at Prokaryotic Cell.

Explanation:

Ok, when Courtney is observing the science experiment, and finds a cell that includes DNA and has a nucleoid region but does not have nucleus, it is a prokaryotic cell and only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes, where pro means before and kary means nucleus.

Let's explain what is a prokaryotic cell: prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome: a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid. And most prokaryotes have a cell wall outside the plasma membrane.

Answer:

Basophils of the blood help to get defensive leukocytes to the site quickly by releasing an anticoagulant called ___heparin_______ and a vasodilator called _____histamine_____

Explanation:

Basophils are a type of white blood cell containing specific granules that release histamine (vasodilator) and heparin (a substance with anticoagulant action) and azurophilic granules that contain lysosomes. They are important in allergic and anaphylactic processes.
