Answer: The correct answer is -

D) giraffes having increasingly longer necks over time.

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism that was proposed by Darwin.

According to this mechanism, organisms that are better capable of adapting to their changing environmental conditions, survive and increase their number through reproduction whereas other are eliminated from the population.

Example - Long neck of Giraffe, which is much elongated, lofty stature, that was beautifully adapted for browsing on the higher tree branches. This was an adaptation with slow and gradual change in the gene frequency as the lower vegetation was eaten by other animals. Due to this, giraffes had to search for other source (that was higher tree branches).

This is considered as a peculiar example of natural selection.

* Describe at what point in the cell cycle cells begin to divide uncontrollably.
Butoxors [25]

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury. Different cells grow and die at different rates. Some cells, such as epithelial<span>epithelialA thin layer of epithelial cells that makes up the outer surfaces of the body (the skin) and lines hollow organs, glands and all passages of the respiratory, digestive, reproductive and urinary systems.</span> cells, reproduce quickly. Other cells, like nerve cells, grow slowly. Both normal cells and cancer cells go through a sequence of steps, or phases, when they form new cells. This is called the cell cycle.

Galactosemia can result from a deficiency of either galactokinase or UDP-glucose:galactose 1-phosphate uridylytransferase (trans
nadezda [96]

Answer:

b. A transferase deficiency will result in an accumulation of the toxic metabolite galactosse 1-phosphate.

c. A galactokinase deficiency will cause an accumulation of galactose.

Explanation:

Transferase is an enzyme which is responsible for the breakdown of galactose which is a known milk sugar. Its deficiency causes the formation of toxic materials such as galactose-1-phosphate which comes from galactose, and galactitol. Galactokinase is also an enzyme which helps in the conversion of galactose into galactose 1-phosphate with the expenditure of ATP molecule, so its deficiency causes the deposition of galactose.

Why are open circulatory systems advantageous to some animals?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Open circulatory systems are advantageous to some animals because they use less metabolic energy.

Explanation:

Open circulatory systems are also known as lagoon circulatory systems. In this systems the blood is not necessarily always inside the blood vessels; It leaves the heart and will directly irrigate the organs and then return by other means or mechanisms.

So that it can be understood more easily, it is necessary to think about this system acting in organisms much smaller and less complex than mammals or any other vertebrate of greater size. As this animals doesn't have a great size, they need to use less metabolic energy than more developed organisms, so this system allows them to save metabolic energy to be used in other living functions.

Assume that life on Earth began 3.5 billion years ago. To the nearest percent, how much of this time have anthropoids been livin
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Anthropoids lived for approximately 0.86% of the total time.

Explanation:

  • Anthropoids are the higher developed organisms that includes apes and ape mans.
  • The age of earth is 3500 million and anthropoids lived for about 30 million years.
  • By the simple calculations we can find out the data in percent which gives us the result nearest to 0.86%.
  • That means 0.86% of 3.5 billion year is equivalent to 30 million years (time that was lived by anthropoids).
