The study of artificial selection by Darwin helped him to establish his theory of evolution via natural selection. One of the animals Darwin examined in detail was the domestic rock pigeon. In the 1850s breeding of pigeons was an ancient past time, thus, Darwin decided to keep and breed the pigeons by himself.

While studying pigeons, Darwin established scrupulous determinations of their skeletons and wondered at the breeds' distinct colors, behaviors, and proportions. He also observed the patterns of inheritance of various features, and he demonstrated that birds of very distinct breeds can, however, generate fertile offspring. Thus, supporting the theory that they all originated from a single species.

If the DNA content of a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell cycle is x, then the DNA content of the same cell at metaphase

REY [17]

Answer:

d. 2x.

Explanation:

At metaphase the DNA chromatides are duplicated. This explains that if in G1 phase of the cell cycle the DNA content is x, then the content in metaphase of meiosis I is 2x.

The nitrogenous products of the breakdown of proteins are excreted as ammonia, urea and uric acid. Explain the difference in eac

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The protein that are intake through foods are broken down in the body and is converted into nitrogenous waste products which are eliminated from the body through the process of excretion.

Explanation:

Ammonotelic-Those organisms that excrete nitrogenous waste products in the form of ammonia from the body throuh the process of excretion is called as ammonotelic animals.Ammonia is more soluble in water.

Ex- Bony fish, Octopus, Sepia etc.

Ureotelic-Those organisms that excrete nitrogenous waste products in the form of Urea from the body through the process of excretion is called as Ureotelic organisms.Urea is soluble in water.

Ex- Human.

Uricotelic-Those organisms that excrete nitrogenous waste products in the form of Uric acid from the body through the process of excretion is called as uricotelic organisms.Uric acid is insoluble in water.

Ex- Reptiles, birds etc.
