You are traveling across the Pacific Ocean when you come across a small island, island #1. There is lush vegetation and several

species of beetles that vary in the color of their carapace. The colors you find are green, blue, purple, and black. A second island 200 miles closer to the mainland (island #2) is mostly sand with some palm trees and has a single species of beetle that has a brown carapace. You examine the colored beetles and discover that they are all related and that they are related to the brown species on the second island. Which of the following is the most likely scenario?
(a). The brown beetle migrated to island #1 and gave rise to the colored species on island #2 through adaptive radiation.
(b). The colored species of beetle on island #1 migrated to island #2 and gave rise to the brown beetle through extinction.
(c). The brown beetle evolved from the colored beetles on island #1 and then migrated to island #2.
(d). The brown beetle gave rise to all of the colored beetles on island #2 which then migrated to island #1.
(e). A beetle of some undetermined color gave rise to all of the colors of beetle brown, green, purple, and black and they then migrated to different islands.

Answer:

The correct answer is (a). The brown beetle migrated to island #1 and gave rise to the colored species on island #2 through adaptive radiation.

Explanation:

As there are no brown beetles on the island 1, and island 2 has less biodiversity of plants, it's possible to think that the brown beetle migrated to island 1 where there are many kinds of different plants, which would lead to the adaptation of these organisms resulting in many different species.

Answer:

B. G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Explanation:

G1 is the first stage of the cell cycle, and it is essential for cell growth.

Next, the S (Synthesis) phase occurs. This phase involves DNA synthesis to prepare the cell for division.

G2 is the next phase, and it involves preparing and growing the cell for mitosis.

Mitosis is the next stage, where the cell divides into 2.

Lastly, Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis, and it creates the two daughter cells.

So, the correct answer is B. G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Place the steps of endochondral ossification in order, starting with the creation of a cartilage model and ending with the prese
Ratling [72]

The correct  steps of endochondral ossification is:

  1. A periosteal bone collar develops.
  2. spongy bone and the medullary cavity form in the diaphysis.
  3. The diaphysis center is vascularized and osteoblasts deposit osteoid over calcified cartilage matrix.
  4. The epiphyseal center is vascularized and osteoblasts deposit osteoid over the calcified cartilage matrix.
  5. The spongy bone forms in epiphysis.

<h3>Which bones grow by endochondral ossification?</h3>

Long and short bones, such as the phalanges and femur, arise from a cartilage model formed by endochondral ossification. Distinguishing between these two types of osteogenesis does not imply the existence of multiple types of bone tissue.

Endochondral ossification mainly forms in two stages: modifications of the hyaline cartilage that ends with the death of chondrocytes and invasion of osteogenic cells and their differentiation into osteoblasts in the cavities previously occupied by chondrocytes for deposition.

A segmented viral genome
Fynjy0 [20]
<h2>The correct option is (C)</h2>

Explanation:

  • A VIRUS consist of RNA or DNA Genes and are therfore known as RNA Virus or DNA Virus
  • RNA genomes is seen in majority of Viruses. Bacteriophages possess double stranded DNA genomes whereas Plant viruses possess single stranded RNA genomes
  • Viral genomes are linear, as we see in the adenoviruses and circular as we see in the polyomaviruses
  • The shape of the genome is not determined by the type of nucleic acid present in it.
  • The genome is often divided into separate parts, in RNA and DNA viruses, and thus we called as segmented.
