Answer: The correct answer is -

Option D.

Explanation:

As per the given information in the question, initially fruit flies were in two different containers having different food sources for several generations. Due to this, they got adapted to the specific food sources to which they were exposed. As a consequence, they started preferring mates that were adapted to the same food source.

Therefore, when fruit flies from the two containers were put together, Fruit flies preferred mates adapted to the same food source.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

Answer:

Meiosis is a process in which sex cells, also known as gametes are made. Meiosis is different from mitosis in a lot of ways, one being that mitosis creates identical daughter cells and meiosis creates unique daughter cells. Meiosis is important because it allow for the creation of a meiosis nucleus. Cells produced by meiosis will be used in haploid, where each member of the next generation is genetically unique.

Cells produced in <u>sexual reproduction</u> will have half of the genetic information of body cells and will be genetically <u>unique</u>. This is necessary because when a sperm and an egg fuse together in sexual reproduction. They form a <u>zygote</u>: the first body of a new individual.

The new individual will now have cells that are <u>diploid</u>, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. They zygote will have to do a lot of <u>mitosis</u> allowing it to grow quickly and ensure that all of its cells are genetically unique.

Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
stealth61 [152]
The correct answer is the lungs. Usually, in the systemic organs such as the liver, kidneys, and the heart; hypoxia or low oxygen levels cause the blood vessels supplying them to vasodilate to increase flow of blood and prevent ischemia. Adequate oxygenation of systemic organs cause the blood supply to vasoconstrict to prevent pooling of oxygenated blood and shunt it to other organs that need the oxygen more.

However, in the lungs, the opposite is true because in the setting of hypoxia, the blood vessels of the lungs vasoconstrict as to shunt the blood to other parts of the lungs with adequate oxygenation for the blood to be adequately oxygenated. If there is adequate oxygen in the lungs, then blood vessels vasodilate to efficiently get the oxygen from the lungs.
