Giraffes use their extremely long necks to reach the leaves high up on acacia trees, which other animals cannot reach, giving th

em a food source for which they have few competitors. What can you conclude about natural selection from this observation?
a. Giraffe necks get longer over a lifetime of stretching, and their offspring inherit the longer necks of their parents.
b. All giraffes are born with short necks and, eating acacia leaves causes them to stretch over a lifetime.
c. Other animals will mimic the giraffe and grow longer necks.
d. The giraffes with the longest necks survive and produce offspring.

Answer: d. The giraffes with the longest necks survive and produce offspring.

Natural selection can be defined as a differential survival and reproduction. In this the organism having a favorable phenotypic advantage has better chances of survival and reproduction as compared to the other. The given situation is an example of natural selection. The long neck of giraffes is a phenotypic advantage that helps in deriving food as compared to it's competing herbivorous species. Thus, giving them a chance to survive and produce offsprings.

I believe it would be D, since the animals that had more food, and a advantage, would produce and so on.

What are MAD (mitotic arrest deficient) proteins and when are they important in the cell cycle?
Mademuasel [1]

MAD (mitotic arrest deficient) are proteins related to spindle cell cycle checkpoint and it is important since they prevent the segregation of sister chromatids until all have bound to the spindle.

The cell cycle ensures the duplication of the genome and its distribution in daughter cells by passing through a coordinated and regulated sequence of events.

A series of checkpoints guarantee the orderly progression of the phases of cell division and the correct distribution of the duplicated genetic material in the daughter cells.

The checkpoints during mitosis are:

  • At the end of stage G1 and before S.

  • Before anaphase in mitosis.

  • DNA damage checkpoints in G1, S or G2.

The checkpoint before anaphase in mitosis guarantees the separation of chromosomes, and operates by activating the Mad2 protein that prevents the degradation of segurin, until the conditions are appropriate.

That is, the Mad2 protein prevents the segregation of sister chromatids until they have all bound to the spindle.

Therefore, we can conclude that MAD (mitotic arrest deficient) are proteins related to spindle cell cycle checkpoint and it is important since they prevent the segregation of sister chromatids until all have bound to the spindle.

Look at Figure 19–7 p.544. Which of the following explains why the edges of Africa and South America fit together like two piece
Ymorist [56]
This question is incomplete. However, the answer to this question is Continental Drift. Approximately 300 million years ago, there were not separate continents, only one giant super continent that we call Pangaea. Over time, scientists realised that the Earth's outer shell slides over the inner mantle through plate tectonics. Around 200 million years ago, Pangaea began to break up through the process of continental drift. Gondwana, incorporating present-day <span>Africa, South America, Antarctica, India and Australia, split from Laurasia (Eurasia and North America). Approximately 150 million years ago, Gondwana started to break up into the present day continents</span>
