Answer:

b. Cellular clock  is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Cellular clock theory states that cells can divide a maximum of about 75 to 80 times, and that as we age our cells become less capable of dividing.

Cellular clock theory directs on the lifespan of organisms. As the many individual cells do not remain to reproduce continually, so this theory implies that aging of the cells is a result of their reproductive limitation and because of cellular aging.

Cellular clock theory is the theory  Leonard Hayflick's that describes the cellular aging mechanism and it suggests that as the cell becomes aged it becomes less effective of dividing.

dangina [55]

The correct answer is: If generation 3 had flock distributions similar to those shown in the graph below.

After the change in food, the beak phenotype changes in order to adapt. So, if fruit is removed, the phenotype of birds’ beaks should change according to the change in environment. The graph below shows that there is no change, so it wouldn’t support the hypothesis that food changes beak types.

Give two examples of organisms that may have coevolved
kondaur [170]
Two Types of Coevolution

Coevolution is common among organisms participating in a mutual interaction. In mutualism, both the organisms benefit from each other. When coevolution occurs among mutually benefiting species, it is called mutualistic coevolution.

When coevolution is found among species that have negative effects on each other, it is called competitive coevolution. There are two kinds of interactions between species that can lead to competitive coevolution:

<span><span>Predation is when one organism kills and eats another organism. The prey is the species that gets eaten by the predator, which is of course the species that eats the prey.</span><span>Parasitism is when one organism benefits by damaging, but not killing, another organism. The parasitespecies benefits from this relationship, while the host species is negatively affected.</span></span>

6. Nitrogen Cycle - How can atmospheric Nitrogen become available for use by organisms?
Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

Nitrates and ammonia resulting from nitrogen fixation are assimilated into the specific tissue compounds of algae and higher plants. Animals then ingest these algae and plants, converting them into their own body compounds. ... The action of these bacteria tends to deplete soil nitrates, forming free atmospheric nitrogen.
