Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Living organisms vary from the single celled prokaryotic cells to the multicellular eukaryotic cells. Life or living organisms perform the basic functions of life that is respiration, locomotion, obtaining nutrition, response to stimulus, reproduction, growth and excretion. These functions distinguish them from non living entities.

Explanation of Solution

Correct answer:

The entire living organisms do not care for their offspring. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Explanation for the correct answer:

The organisms, such as mammals, fishes, and birds care for their offspring until they get mature and are able to survive in nature. Some of the organisms do not care for their offspring. Instead, they leave them after the offspring’s are formed.

Option (c) is given as “care for their offspring”.

As, “all of the offspring are not cared by their living organisms”, is the right answer.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Explanations for incorrect answers:

Option (a) is given as “organization”. The living organisms have a certain level of organization of biomolecules, cells, and tissues. The high level of organization helps the organisms in their functioning. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as “acquisition of materials and energy”. The living organisms consume food and generate energy from their cellular activities. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “reproduction”. All the living organisms reproduce and produce their offspring. Reproduction is an important key to the survival of organisms.

So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (e) is given as “responding to the environment”. All the living organisms respond to the external stimulus. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), (d), and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

All the progeny are not are not taken care by their parental living organisms.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
