Biology
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In terms of adaptation, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in a constantly changing environment.

Adaptive traits are very much important in a constantly changing environment as they increase the chances of survival of a population in the environment.

For example, Darwin's finches adapted to develop different types of beaks in order to get nutrition in different environments. Long necks of giraffes are also considered as a result of adaptation which helps them get the food located high on trees.

Suggest an intracellular regulatory molecule (from your text) that growth factors might stimulate to control cell division. Plea
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

E2F transcription factors  

Explanation:

The E2F transcription factors (TFs) encode intracellular factors associated with the control of the cell cycle. E2F are TFs that bind to promoter consensus sequences in order to activate transcription. These TFs control the expression of target genes involved in cell proliferation including, among others, genes for DNA replication and mitotic activation. Moreover, the E2F proteins also may act as a link between cell fate and the cell cycle. The retinoblastoma (Rb) is a protein that modulates the activity of the E2F family of TFs, and it has been shown that the Rb/E2F pathway is a key molecular mechanism associated with cell proliferation.
