Can you elaborate it’s confusing I think it’s consequence tho
D. before cells without a true nucleus
I think the answers are b,d,and e
Complete question:
In a separate study, 68 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Sonora, Mexico. The other three were in Chihuahua, Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three Chihuahua locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Sonora population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 68 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Sonora mice were absent from the three different populations of Chihuahua mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the Chihuahua populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases.
How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
Answer:
The study supports the concept that natural selection is not random because in different areas with the same or very similar environmental characteristics, the same phenotype was produced by different types of mutations.
Explanation:
All of the sampled animals are inhabiting dark substrate. Probably animals needed to camouflage to survive. Natural selection must have driven them to produce dark color, similar to the substrate color. So animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. The environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
Answer:
Hypothalamus
Explanation:
The hypothalamus is a part of the brain which possesses temperature receptor cells that detect changes in the man’s temperature, thereby sending signals in the form of electrical nerve impulses to the man’s muscles and nervous system, which in turn respond in counteracting the drop in the normal temperature of the body.
Once the muscle cells of this man receive these signals, they produce heat through thermogenesis by shivering when the muscle cells begin to contract. This is one of the mechanisms by which thermoregulation is achieved as controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain of the man.
