Answer:

Monkeys have a prehensile tail that allows them to grab and hold onto tree branches - structural

Moose make mating calls to locate potential mates - behavioral

Whales are covered in a thick layer of blubber, insulating their bodies in cold ocean waters - structural

Humans have five toes on each foot to help them maintain balance - structural

Many birds migrate south for the winter in search of food - behavioral

Explanation:

The structural adaptations are adaptations that help the organisms to survive in their environment through development of physical traits that give them an advantage. Such adaptations are the thick layer of blubber of the whales, the five toes of the humans, prehensile tail of the monkeys, rotational toe of the clouded leopard, long of the giraffe etc. The behavioral adaptations are adaptations that help the organisms to survive in their environment, but they manifested through their actions, not their physical traits. Such adaptations are the mating calls of the moos, the migration of the birds in winter, the hibernation of the bears etc.

Suppose virus A has a viral genome of 19,000 bp, and 10,000,000,000 viruses are replicated in an infected individual in a single

Kitty [74]

Answer:

1 day.

Explanation:

From the given information:

The rate of mutation induced by RNA polymerase is:

$\implies \dfrac{1}{10000}= 0.0001$

Since the genome comprise of 19000 bp;

To complete a single replication, the viral cycle induce: $= \dfrac{19000}{1000}$

$= 1.9 \ mutation \\ \\ \simeq 2 \ mutation$

However, in a single day; 10,000,000,000 viruses are reported to be replicated.

Hence, if a virus has 2 mutations; Then 10,000,000,000 virus will have:

$= \dfrac{10,000,000,000}{2} \\ \\ = \text{5000000000 \ mutations \ in \ a \ half \ day which is half} \\ \\ \text{ the given no of the replicated virus}$

SO, to round this up to whole number, it will take 1 day (s) to overcome the therapy.

The energy source for sperm to swim comes from

Rama09 [41]

The energy source of the sperm for them to swim is the protein breakdown by mitochondria in the midpiece of the sperm.

Mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelles found in the cells. It is said to be the "powerhouse of the cell". They provide ATP as a source of chemical energy for the cells.

If you measured an entire bar of soap and compared it to the piece of soap from this activity, would the bar and the piece have

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Different mass

Different volume

Same density

Explanation:

Intensive physical properties are those properties of a substance that is not dependent on amount i.e. do not change in response to changes in the amount of the substance. Intensive properties include density, temperature, boiling point etc.

On the other hand, extensive properties are those properties that are dependent on the amount of the substance. For example, mass and volume are extensive properties.

Hence, according to this question, measuring an entire bar of soap and comparing it to a piece of soap, the bar and the piece would have a:

- Different mass ( size dependent)

- Different volume (size dependent)

- Same density (size independent)
