Answer:

(c) directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when members of a population of a species with a particular extreme phenotype is selected or favored against the other phenotypes when natural forces act on the population of a species. Individuals having the particular traits that are favored survive and become more common that others with traits that are less favored.

Directional selection may likely result in the species of butterflies in which darkly collared butterflies are not preyed upon, ensuring their survival, while the other butterflies with other colors will be phased out with time. Darkly colored butterfly will be selected for while the others will be selected against.

Which of the following is not a product of the light reactions of photosynthesis? 1) NADPH 2) NADH 3) ATP 4) Oxygen
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is number 2. NADH is not  product of light reactions of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

The light energy from the sun is captured by the pigmented molecule, chlorophyll, of the plants. This light energy is converted into chemical energy by a serious of light-dependent reactions. The main products of light-dependent reactions are the energy molecule ATP and NADPH. Oxygen is released as a by-product during photosynthesis. Hence, all the option 1,3 and 4 are produced during the light reactions except for option 2 i.e NADH.

Why does interphase take so long/6265000/ad04de71?utm_source=registration
erik [133]
Interphase is the period of the cell cycle where the cell is actually growing, developing, and carrying out cellular processes. Essentially, interphase is when the cell is busy being a cell. It grows, synthesizes proteins, replicates its DNA, and so on and so forth. 

<span>Mitosis is only the small portion of the cell cycle when it is dividing into two new cells. The rest of the time (interphase), the cell is performing its various functions.</span>
