Yes. The darker pigmentation of their skin helps them survive in the sun. Therefore they will thrive more so then someone with fair skin. Darker and lighter pigment in skin, is an adaptation humans went through based mostly on the amount of sun. If you lived in the heat with a lot of sun exposure ex: Africa, you would need to have darker skin to keep from being sun burnt as badly. Someone far from the equator with less sun or: Russia, wouldn’t need as much pigmentation in their skin for this reason. Heat also plays a role in it I believe.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

1. They must be removed before sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes can separate

Explanation:

During the S-phase of the cell cycle, not only does DNA have to be replicated, but also newly synthesized DNA molecules have to be connected with each other. This replicated DNA (sister chromatids) remain physically connected with each other from S phase until metaphase. This physical connection is called Sister chromatids cohesion.

Sister chromatid cohesion depends on COHESIN, a tripartite protein complex that forms a ring structure to hold sister chromatids together during mitosis and meiosis. Cohesin regulates the separation of sister chromatids during cell division, either mitosis or meiosis. This sister chromatid cohesion is essential for the biorientation of chromosomes on the mitotic or meiotic metaphase spindle, and is thus an essential prerequisite for chromosome segregation. Without the cohesion, sister chromatids would not be segregated symmetrically between the forming daughter cells, resulting in aneuploidy.

Cohesion is established during S-phase of DNA replication, and the cohesins hold the sister chromatid together after DNA replication until anaphase when the removal of cohesin leads to separation of sister chromatids (meiosis II and mitosis) and homologous chromosomes (meiosis I).
