Based on the current modle of evolutionary history the first living cells to evolve on earth

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Which statement best explains why cells were observed in more detail using a compound microscope than a simple microscope? a compound microscope has greater magnification ability than a simple microscope. the compound microscope was invented before the simple microscope. a compound microscope is much easier to manufacture than a simple microscope. compound microscopes were more common than simple microscopes.

All of the following statements about enzymes are correct except: proteolytic enzymes are also known as proteases. pectin methyl esterase causes browning of cut fruit. cloud loss in orange juice is due to enzyme activity. proteolytic enzymes in fish cause tissue softening during storage.
