Question about AP Biology .. help!?

Mitochondrial DNA is primarily involved in coding for proteins needed for electron transport. Therefore in which body systems would you expect most mitochondrial gene mutations to be exhibited?

Why is “(b) Nervous and muscular systems” the answer?

Biology major help needed!?

can someboy who is VERY good at bio answer these questions for me?

structurally, how is the digestive tarct of an earthworm well adapted for eating dirt, while it is not for humans?

why do humans have a different digestive tract than an earthworm? focus on diet

a crayfish is more predatory than an earthworm, but its circulatory systemm is open compared with the erathworm’s closed circulatory stsytem. what are 2 reasons the worm has a better circulatory system?

the typhlsole is a large fold in the middle of the intestine. Why is this structure present in the intestine of an earthworm but not a flatworm parasite that resides in a human intesine?

earthworms have male and female reproductive organs. rather than fertilizing their own eggs w/ their own sperm they mate with other woms, exchchanging sperm that will be used to fertilizze eggs. why is this advantageous when it would be simpler for worms to fetilize their own eggs with their own sperm?

how are the integumentary (skin) systems of earthworms and starfish both multi-functinal, but in different ways? Articulate some of the multiple functons of each organisms’ integumentary systems.

How did the muscular arrangement/development of the earthworm differ from that of a chicken wing? Why does this difference exist?

This organism has no immune system. Why do so few organisms have well developed immune systems?
