A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 90 cells in interphase, 13 cells in prophase, 12 cells in metaphase, 3 cells i

n anaphase, and 2 cells in telophase. If a complete cycle for this type of cell requires 24 hours, what is the average duration of mitosis?
Unfortunately not a multiple choice

<span> Mitosis involves Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. 

So you have 
13 + 12 + 3 + 2 = 30 cells in mitosis 
and 
90 + 30 = 120 cells in total 

Therefore your ratio of cells in mitosis to total cells is 30 / 120 = 1 / 4. That means mitosis should take up roughly 1/4 of the total cell cycle length. Since the completely cycle takes 24 hours, mitosis would then take (1/4)*24 = 6 hours</span>

Over a period of two generations, the frequency of green dung beetles in a population shifts from 75% to 71% while the frequency
tekilochka [14]
This is an example of microevolution.

Microevolution
represents a small change in the genetic structure of the population. These changes manifest through the change in the allele frequencies of genes like in the case of dung beetles.
The causes of microevolution are evolutionary mechanisms, natural selection, genetic drift, mutations and gene flow.

seeds that are planted upside down are still able to grow into mature plants which explanation best explains this phenomenon?​
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

eeds that are planted upside down are still able to grow into mature plants. Which explanation best explains this phenomenon?

(a)The roots change into branches, and the branches turn into roots.

(b)The roots grow toward the force of gravity, and the shoots grow away.

(c)The plant will become a smaller version of a mature plant.

(d)Roots always grow toward the dark, and shoots grow toward the light.

Two options appear to be correct here: options B and D

Explanation:

Regardless of the direction the seed is planted, the seed has the ability to re-position itself via the help of growth hormones that respond to gravity and redirect the seed into the proper orientation. However, after re-orientation of the seed, the root grows toward the direction of gravity (a process known as gravitropism) while the shoot grows toward the direction of sunlight (a process known as phototropism). Even though two options appear to be correct here, the most correct option based on he question is b
