During a presentation about evolution, a student claims that modern giraffes inherited their long necks from ancestral giraffes

that stretched their necks to reach for leaves on tall trees. Which best describes the claim? Stretching the neck causes gene mutations that can result in an even longer neck. These genes are then passed on to the giraffe's offspring. Stretching the neck enabled giraffes to reach higher, which gives them an advantage to survive, reproduce, and pass on this trait. Ancestral giraffes had longer necks than modern giraffes, so the claim is not supported by research. Traits that are acquired during an organism's lifetime are not passed on through genes.

The enzyme lactase in involved in the digestion of milk and diary products. The enzyme has an optimum pH of about 6 hence it works in an acidic environment. Lactase is found in the small intestine.

Assuming you begin with a single bacterial cell that has doubling time of 15 minutes, how many cells would you find at the end o
MrMuchimi

Answer:

16 cells

Explanation:

According to the given information, the generation time of the bacterial cell is 15 minutes. This means that the bacterial cell would have a total of 60/15= four divisions (1 hour= 60 minutes) in one hour. A division in a single bacterial cell produces two new bacterial cells. If both the newly formed bacterial cells enter the cell division, a total of four cells will be formed. Likewise, if all the newly formed bacterial cells enter the process of cell division, a total of 2^4= 16 cells will be formed by the end of four consecutive cell divisions.
