There is a population of beetles that typically have black wings. A scientist studying these beetles knows that their eggs hatch

in early spring, the baby insects grow through the late spring and summer, they lay eggs in the early fall, and die in the early winter. Recently some beetles have been born with white wings. Early in life the black and white winged beetles seem to be very similar in number of mating events, eggs laid, and survival rates, but shortly after laying their eggs the white beetles die and there are only black winged beetles during the late fall. Which of the following is a true statement about the beetles?
A. White- and black-winged beetles have equal fitness.B. Black-winged beetles have a higher fitness than white-winged beetles.C. The number of baby white-winged beetles will decrease in frequency over time.
D. White wings are an adaptation.E. Adaptive directional selection is occurring.

I believe it'd decrease. Many species would either take a major population hit depending on the range of the fire or some species would have to move from the area entirely.

How many new volumes would each new cell contain whenever a cell splits?
Elenna [48]
The specific volume will be different for various kinds of cells. The safe answer would be that the new cell will pretty much have the same volume as the one that it divided from. This is true for most eukaryotic cells unless other factors like epigenetics or mutations come into place.

One example of moments a cell would increase in volume is during hypertrophy. This simply means that the cell is increasing in size (compared to: hyperplasia -- which is an increase in number of the cells). Hypertrophy is definitely an increase in volume of the cell but this doesn't necessarily translate to cell division (i.e. just because the cell is big now, doesn't mean it will still be big when it divides).

Another moment of increasing volume of the cell and now also related to cell division would be during the two stages in the cell cycle (i.e., G1 and G2 phases). This is the growth phase of the cell preparing to divide. However when mitosis or division happens, the cells will normally end with the same volume as when it started.

This are safe generalizations referring to the human cells. It would help if a more specific kind of cell was given.
