Introduction:
Circulatory system helps in the distribution of nutrients and oxygen from the external environment into the body. In return, it expels waste products and carbon dioxide from the body. The circulatory system varies from simple animals to complex animals.

Answer to Problem 1TYK
Correct answer:
Have blood and intestinal fluid mixing directly in body spaces.
Explanation of Solution
Justification/explanation for the correct answer:
Option (d) is, have blood and intestinal fluid mixing directly in body spaces. The invertebrate animals have open circulatory system, where the contraction of the heart results in the pumping of blood like fluid called hemolymph through the arteries. hemolymph is released directly into the body spaces called sinuses. In sinuses, hemolymph and intestinal fluid get mixed up and there is no clear difference between them. Hence, option (d) is correct.
The explanation for the incorrect answers:
Option (a) is, lead to more mobile lives. Vertebrates show more complex locomotive organs. They have bipedal as well as tetra pedal digits for movement. Invertebrates show less mobility than vertebrates. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (b) is, require a higher level of oxygen. The vertebrates due to its highly evolved physiological and anatomical structure require a higher level of oxygen than lesser evolved invertebrates. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (c) is, have a more complex layer of cells. Vertebrates have three germ layer of cells whereas some invertebrates show only two germ layer of cells. Hence, the vertebrates have a more complex layer of cells. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (e) is, require faster delivery and greater quantities of nutrients. The circulatory system in invertebrates is not complex. They require less quantity of nutrients and its delivery to tissues. Whereas, the vertebrates have a complex double circulatory system. So, it is an incorrect option.
Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.
It can be concluded that the open circulatory system in invertebrate animals shows the mixing up of blood and intestinal fluid into the body spaces called sinuses.

- What is this?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
