The correct answer is: b) directional selection
Directional selection is a type of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. In this case, phenotype of large crickets will be favored, because they cannot be eaten by lizards. Large crickets are advantageous in surviving and reproduction. This will cause the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of that large size phenotype.
It would probably start overpopulating and there would be less food
Answer:
G1 checkpoint
Explanation:
The cell cycle consists of the series of activities that occurs from the replication of DNA to the actual division of the cell in an organism's cell. However, the cell has been internally programmed to ensure that all conditions are in place/favorable before allowing progression into the next stage of the cell cycle. This internally controlled mechanism ia called CHECKPOINTS. This checkpoint occurs at three main stages of the cell cycle;
after G1 phase, G2 phase and during M phase.
In the G1 checkpoint, the cell ensures that the cell is in the right shape to proceed into the Synthesis phase of the cell cycle where it will double it's DNA. The checkpoint checks majorly for damage or change to the DNA before replicating it. If any error is found, that cell is halted and prevented from proceeding to the S-phase of the cell cycle.
This is the case in the question, the cell has been halted and prevented from entering the S-phase. Hence, its DNA is still the same as it started. However, the DNA of the cells surrounding it has been doubled as they have undergone DNA replication during S-phase.
A. It stores energy until a Call needs it.
Ans.
Platelets are a type of blood cells, responsible for blood clotting. These cells prevent excessive blood loss from wound as they form plug or clot at the site of injury to repair the damage. Thus, the option). platelets is correctly matched with 'clotting blood.'
White blood cells or WBCs are components of immune system that protect the body from harmful foreign molecules, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses and harmful body cells, such as tumor cells. Thus, the option). white blood cells is correctly matched with 'fighting bacteria.'
Red blood cells or RBCs are blood cells that transport oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients to the different part of the body. These cells are made up of hemoglobin and protein. Thus, the option). red blood cells is correctly matched with 'clotting blood.'
Plasma is the non-cellular, colorless, fluid portion of blood, composed of proteins, vitamins, antibodies, amino acids, and other micromolecules. It is responsible for viscous nature of blood. Thus, the option). plasma is correctly matched with 'providing viscosity to the blood.'
