Researchers are studying a small island that is home to a unique population of land snails. This population was founded by 10 in

dividuals that floated there on a log, and it has been isolated from the large (10,000 snail) mainland population ever since. The island population grew to 1000 individuals and has stayed consistent for some time. A team of researchers compared the genetic variation of the mainland and the isolated island populations for a few generations after colonization. Are the following four statements true or false?
1) Genetic drift is more pronounced in the island population than the mainland population in these first few generations.
A. True
B. False
2) The biologists observed genetic drift but not evolution.
A. True
B. False
3) The island population likely has more alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.
A. True
B. False
4) Some harmful traits may have become more common in the island population than the mainland population.
A. True
B. False

By regulating the cell cycle, multicellular organisms gain which of these benefits?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The regulation of the cell cycle helps in wound healing as well as replacing the lost cells by division. Thus, options B and C are correct.

Explanation:

The cell cycle can be described as the process of division and reproduction. The events result in the formation of multiple cells that have been able to deal with the repair mechanism of the body.

With the regulation of the cell cycle, the division process of the cell has been initiated and helps in the formation of multiple cells. The formed daughter cells have been able to heal the wounds effectively by accumulating and removing the dead cell.

The cell cycle has also been responsible for the replacement of lost cells, with the formation of new cells. Thus, options B and C are correct.
