If a geological barrier (like a continent splitting apart) separates a population of primates, then each population will evolve separately to fit the different conditions of their environments.

As a hypothetical example, if one part of Pangea went north, the primates on that part would adapt to cold temperatures. If the other part went toward the equator, those primates would adapt to heat and direct sunlight. Eventually they would evolve into different species over many generations.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

when G1/S cyclin-CDK is activated. Expression of G1/S cyclins is regulated by E2F proteins

Explanation:

I've found this on Google

Commitment to cell division occurs at Start when G1/S cyclin-CDK is activated. Expression of G1/S cyclins is regulated by E2F proteins in conjunction with pRB proteins.. Mitogens stimulated cell division by increasing the amount of G1 cyclins.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: Daughter cell that does not receive mitochondria, will not be able to produce the energy needed to carry out cell functions. The cell that receives all the mitochondria, will be able to carry out cellular respiration and thus produce energy.

Explanation:

The mitochondrion is a cellular organelle found in eukaryotic cells, and provides the energy needed to carry out cellular activity. They are characterized by their large size, compared to other cell organelles, and their globular shape. Mitochondria generate most of the chemical energy needed to activate the biochemical reactions in the cell, through a process called cellular respiration. It irefers to a set of biochemical reactions by which certain organic compounds are degraded by oxidation into inorganic substances. The chemical energy produced by mitochondria is stored in an energized molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Then, if during cell division, one of the daughter cells does not receive mitochondria, it will not have the necessary organelles to carry out cell respiration and will not be able to produce the energy needed to carry out cell functions. The cell that receives all the mitochondria will have no major problems, it will be able to carry out cellular respiration and thus produce energy.
