Answer: c Differences due to inherited genes.

Gene flow or gene migration is an important source of genetic variation. It is a movement or transfer of genes from one population to another.  It can take place between two populations of the same species through migration and is brought by reproduction and vertical gene transfer from parent to offspring.

All mutations are harmful. True False
Solution 1
False, However not all mutations are harmful, there are very few number of mutations that actually can change the codes for a better functioning protein. In this case they will be beneficial. Here we are testing for potentially harmful mutations in human genes.

Question
Which statement best describes energy of an ecosystem? A.The amount of energy entering an ecosystem from the Sun is equal to the amount lost as heat. B. The amount of energy entering an ecosystem from the Sun is equal to the amount used by organisms. C. The amount of energy entering an ecosystem from the Sun is equal to the amount used by organisms plus the amount lost as heat. D. The amount of energy entering an ecosystem from the sun does not transfer from organism to organism.
Solution 1

The energy of the ecosystem can be best described as option C. The amount of energy entering an ecosystem from the Sun is equal to the amount used by organisms plus the amount lost as heat.



Solution 2

The correct answer is option C

The only source of energy in an ecosystem is the sun. The green plants make food by the help of photosynthesis. These plants are also eaten by the herbivores and then these herbivores animals are eaten by the carnivores animals present in the ecosystem.

The energy from the sun is transferred to herbivores, then from herbivores to carnivores.

Some amount of energy is also lost during the process of energy transfer.

The energy transferred from one level to another + the energy lost

= energy absorbed from the sun.

Question
What is a system responsible for transporting materials such as oxygen,digesting foods,wastes and hormones throughout the body?
Solution 1
The circulatory system.

It transports oxygen around (with the help of the lungs)
It transports nutrients (amino acids, electrolytes)
It transports wastes (with the help of the kidneys)
it transports hormones (with the help of various endocrine glands)

I hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)

Which of the following statements is TRUE about molecules getting from the digestive tract to cells of the brain and cells of the skin?
Solution 1
I think the best answer would be that Molecules from food get to cells of the brain by way of the circulatory system, but molecules from food do not get to cells of the skin by way of the circulatory system. The brain is supplied by four arteries; two carotid arteries and their branches which comprise the anterior circulation and the two vertebral arteries comprise the posterior circulation.

I believe the condition you are looking for is a stroke. 
Solution 2

Answer: Stroke

Explanation: USATestPrep states “Lack of blood pressure to the brain may cause an area of the brain to stop working and die, this is called a stroke. This causes a lack fo oxygen to a particular area of the brain” (Not my words, its UsATestPrep’s!!)
