Plasticity is most adaptive when the environment change <u>Slowly and predictably </u>throughout an organism's life.

The ability of individual genotypes to create various phenotypes when exposed to various environmental situations is known as phenotypic plasticity. Here, the emphasis is on the role of plasticity in evolution rather than the evolution of plasticity itself, i.e., the evolution of phenotypic traits and organismal variety through plasticity. Phenotypic plasticity is a crucial characteristic of developmental systems that enables the organism to deal with environmental variability and/or unpredictability, although its significance for adaptive evolution is still debated.

Answer:

Option 3, of the abiotic factors found in their environment

Explanation:

The abiotic factors such as absence of sunlight and extremely cold temperature represents picture of an extreme habitat under an ice shelf in Antarctica.  

The optimum temperature requirements of bacteria for its survival ranges from 10oC to 20oC. In case,  if a bacteria lives in an environment where temperature is less than -5oC or higher than  50oC, then such habitats are considered to be “habitats with extremities”  as special physiological mechanisms are required to maintain the homeostasis and survive.

Likewise absence of sunlight further adds to the extremities of the habitat.

Option 3, is correct

If a germ-line cell from a frog contains 10 picograms of DNA during G1 of interphase, then how many picograms of DNA would be pr
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

The cell cycle is composed of three states: interphase, cell division and resting.

The interphase is composed of 3 phases: G1, S and G2 (in this order). During this state the cell prepares itself  for cell division. As part of the preparation the cell duplicates all its genetic material, that is, all its chromosomes. This duplication is done during the phase S.

During the meiotic cell division (composed of meiosis 1 and meiosis 2) a single diploid mother  cell (with duplicated chromosomes) produces four haploid daughter cells. the meiosis 1 produces two haploid cells with duplicated chromosomes, and the meiosis 2 produces 4 haploid cells with normal chromosomes (no duplicated).

If a germ-line cell from a frog contains 10 picograms of DNA during G1, then this cell will have 20 picograms of DNA before the product of the first meiotic division, and will have 10 picograms at the begining of the meiosis 2 (i.e prophase II)

How does temperature influence air pressure? pls help me
disa [49]

Explanation:

When gas molecules are heated, the molecules move more quickly, and the increased velocity causes more collisions. As a result, more force is exerted on each molecule and air pressure increases. Temperature affects air pressure at different altitudes due to a disparity in air density.

if a single-celled organism is unable to undergo cell division, which of its life functions is affected?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The correct answer would be reproduction.

Single-celled organisms usually reproduce asexually with the help of cell division.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction which takes place without the fusion of gametes and hence required only one parent.

Various types of asexual reproduction are fission (binary or multiple), budding, fragmentation, vegetative propagation etc.

Unicellular organism usually divide by fission either binary or multiple.

In binary fission, a parent cell divide into two equal sized daughter cells such as observed in bacteria.

In multiple fission, a parent cell divides into multiple daughter cells as observed in multiple fission of sporozoans etc. During this, parental nucleus divides several times with the help of mitosis without cytokinesis which produces several nuclei within a parent cell. The cytokinesis then takes place which results in separation and production of multiple daughter cells.
