mixas84 [53]
The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.

Answer:

The lack of Mad1 protein can cause faster cell division.

Explanation:

The Mad1 protein is responsible for regulating the fixation of chromosomes in spindle microtubules, during cell division. With the presence of this protein, anaphase is prevented from starting while the spindle, where the chromosomes attach, is formed.

Without this protein, this check is not done and cell division occurs faster, which is one of the reasons why cell division can be accelerated.

What are the different ways fungal spores can be dispersed?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

The spores of some fungi are dispersed in water or on the surface of water. The chemical composition of the wall of these spores makes them "non-wettable" so they won't sink. The spores are carried along on the surface of the water like little boats. Water in the form of raindrops can disperse spores in a different way. While gravity is not a primary means of spore dispersal, evolutionary adaptations have been required of many fungi to overcome gravitational effects for effective spore dispersal. SPORE DISPERSAL BY WIND Dispersal of fungal spores by wind is by far the most common method for terrestrial fungi.
