<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Water moves into the large intestine by the process of osmosis.  </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water that moves into the large intestine comes from the food that we consume to derive energy. <em>Food is broken down by process of chewing action taking place in the mouth.</em> It then reaches the small intestine by peristalsis.  

Various actions aided by digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid digests the food and it is then absorbed by small finger-like projection called villi in the small intestine. <em>The absorption is facilitated by diffusion. The remains are then passed on to the large intestine.</em>  

It absorbs a major percentage of water from this. The absorption takes place through osmosis by which <em>difference in concentration of water inside and outside the large intestine enables the movement of water into it.  </em>

The key to the evolution of altruism is that a. recipients have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than nonrecipie
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. actors have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than non actors.

Explanation:

Altruism is the behavior by an organism that benefits other organisms by costing its own fitness. The actor is the individual who is doing altruism and the recipient is the individual who is getting benefited by the actor's altruism.

An example of altruistic behavior can be seen in animal kingdom easily. Vampire bats give blood to those members of the community who were not able to go for search for blood show altruistic behavior.

Actors have altruistic genes that suggest them to behave altruistically. Non-actors may not contain alleles of altruism but the recipient might have altruistic alleles.

Hamilton's rule says that natural selection will favor the altruistic allele when rb > c.

where r = coefficient of relatedness between donor and recipient

          b = benefit received by recipient and

          c = cost paid by altruist.

Therefore, the correct answer is b.

In connective tissue, the role of elastic fibers is to __________. provide tensile strength retain fluid provide flexibility for
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

provide flexibility

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various medical professionals, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the role of elastic fibers is to provide flexibility. Elastic fibers contain elastin, a protein that acts like rubber and allows them to stretch and recoil like rubber bands, making them very flexible.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Explain how the grunion depends on the changes in tide for the survival of its species.
liraira [26]

Answer:

These creatures depend on the sea water for nutrients, protection and to move about. At low tide,many of these creatures are exposed to the air, leaving them at risk of predator attacks andoxygen depletion. The whole eco-system of the tide pools would simply not exist without theconstant movement of the tides

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

d. transcription factors

Explanation:

Transcription factors are the proteins present in cells that are involved in the regulation of gene expression. The transcription factors may increase or decrease the expression of a gene. Therefore, a transcription factor may serve as an activator or repressor for a gene. These proteins bind to a regulatory sequence present near or within a gene, interact with RNA polymerase or other transcription factors and thereby, affect the transcription initiation.

Since binding of dioxin to certain proteins alter the pattern of gene expression in the cells, these proteins are the transcription factors. For instance, dioxin may bind to a transcription factor and up-regulate the expression of genes which in turn regulate the cell division.
