The average time to death from starvation in a fruit fly is about 20 hours. selecting for increased starvation resistance in fru

it flies:
a. can produce populations in which the average time to death from starvation is 160 hours.
b. has no effect because it is too complex a physiological process, dependent upon the effects of too many genes.
c. has little effect because constant mutation reduces starvation resistance, counteracting any benefits from selection.
d. has no effect because it is not a trait that influences fruit fly fitness.
e. can double this, at which point the genetic variation for this trait is exhausted.

The correct option is A
When selecting for a particular trait in a living organism, it means that a scientist wants to improve the quality of that trait. In the question given above, the scientist want to improve the capacity of the fruit fly to stay alive longer when starving. In this case, the scientist will select for a gene that is resistant to starvation so that the fruit fly can stay alive for more than 20 hours when it is hungry. The capacity to stay alive for a longer time when hungry will improve the capacity of the fruit fly to survive.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Dinosaurs are the extinct organisms that belong to the class reptilia. Dinosaurs are the most advanced and bulkier reptiles at the history time and they were overspecialized in their environment.

The dinosaurs extinct rapidly due to the change in the external conditions and the volcanic eruptions that occur at the dinosaurs time. The recent searcher claims that asteroid impact and massive volcanic eruption leads to the dinosaur extinction. The fossil evidence and the presence of the specific basalt and other chemicals are found in the volcanoes and in the asteroid.

<h2>Cell Cycle </h2>

Explanation:

Eukaryotes grow and divide by cell cycle.

The main parts of a cell cycle are an ordered series of events – Gap 1 or G1 phase, Synthesis or S phase, Gap 2 or G2 phase, and the mitosis or M phases.  

Interphase period (G1, S, G2 phases) - cell grows by size, duplicates its content, replicates its DNA, and finally prepares for mitotic cell division .

Mitosis and cytokinesis - formation of two identical daughter cells

Cell cycle is regulated by regulatory or restrictive checkpoints in the cell cycle which are activated with detection of a defective DNA.

Proliferation of undesired or cells with defective DNA like in case of tumor cells is controlled by the action of suppressing agents like p53 and cyclins.

The tumor suppressor gene protein p53 prohibits division of tumor cells. Cyclins regulate cell cycle by activation of the enzyme cyclin-dependent kinase.
