Darker skin is more prevalent in high-UV areas. Dr. Nina Jablonski proposed a hypothesis to explain the selective pressure for d
skad [1K]

The answer is; the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects DNA from UV radiation, and UV radiation can cause skin cancer

In Africa, due to its equatorial latitude location, receives direct sunlight at more or less 90 degrees most of the year. These highly concentrated rays increase the UV radiation exposure  that can cause damage to cell DNA. Selection pressure, therefore, favored individuals with high melanin concentrations that protect against UV. Therefore population evolved towards high melanin densities in the skin.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Even a slight reproductive advantage will eventually lead to the elimination of the less well adapted of two competing species

Explanation:

The competitive exclusion describes relationship between two species that compete for the limiting sources, and cannot coexist. It is enough for one species to have slightly advantage to be dominant over the other. As a consequence, other species (the weaker one) will be extincted (shift to a different ecological niche).

mixer [17]

The presence of a membrane bound nucleus describes the evolution of eukaryotes from prokaryotic organisms. The endosymbiotic theory describes the same, the large cells engulfed the smaller ones, and the engulfed cells were not digested but started living in mutual cooperation with the engulfing cell. Mitochondria and chloroplast are thought to be the engulfed cell
