Which of the following statements does not support the conclusion that giraffes are k-selected species?
Trava [24]

The correct answer is C. Newborn giraffes are capable of coordinated walking within an hour of birth, and running within 24 hours of birth.

Explanation:

In biology, k-selected species are species that have stable populations although they do not give birth to multiple offspring at once and individual offspring are mainly big animals that require more time to mature this makes parents invest more time and effort in them to guarantee they survive. According to this, giraffes can be classified as k-selected species because they usually have limited offspring (Giraffes rarely give birth to twins), they seem to mature slowly and offspring requires more care and time (giraffes begin mating at 6-7 years of age) and they are large when they are born (Giraffes are approximately 6’ tall and weigh 150 lbs at birth).

However, the fact "Newborn giraffes are capable of coordinated walking within an hour of birth, and running within 24 hours of birth" does not support the idea these animals are k-select species because this shows rapid maturation and little time and effort invested which is the opposite to k-selected species.

Had these chromosomes undergone replication before they were separated
lina2011 [118]
The longitudinal halves of a chromosome that has undergone replication are known as chromatids.  They will not be called chromosomes until after they are separated during Mitosis.  Mitosis distribute the chromatids to daughter cells as a cell divides.  The chromosomes are initially replicated in cells undergoing Meiosis, as in preparation for the mitotic division, but then, these chromosomes are divided twice so that four daughter nuclei are produced, each having the haploid chromosome number.
