Answer:

The correct options is B.

Explanation:

Evolution has to do with the changes that occur in a particular population of organism as a results of environmental changes and other pressure that the population is exposed to and how the organism adapt to counter the changes.

Out of all the options given in this question, the individual that is most likely to be successful in an evolutionary sense is the one describe in option B. This is because, the organism has a short life span of five days and it left behind ten children that are capable of reproducing. Evolution is a process that occur over a long period of time. So, if it an environmental change occur in the environment where the organism lives, it will be easier for the new generation and the subsequent generations of the organism to adapt to the change.

Those organisms that have long life span will not be able to adapt as easily as the organisms in options B because it will take many years and many generations for them to do that.

The phase of cell division in which chromatin condenses into chromosomes is ____ A. anaphase B. metaphase C. prophase D. telopha

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

C (Prophase)

Explanation:

All cells undergo division in order to produce more daughter cells. Cell division occurs immediately after the interphase, which is a resting and preparatory phase for mitosis or cell division. Prior to cell division, the DNA is found to be coiled around histone proteins to form a structure called CHROMATIN. The process of cell division occurs in four phases; Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

In the Prophase stage, which is the first stage of mitosis, this Chromatin begins to condense or becomes compact by undergoing further coiling into a visible X-shaped structure called CHROMOSOME. This shape of the chromosome is as a result of the replication into sister chromatids that occurred in the S-phase of interphase.

Answer:

C. An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele

Explanation:

Assuming the black genotype is BB and the brown genotype is bb.

At F1:

BB x bb = All Bb (black)

At F2:

Bb x Bb = BB (black), 2Bb (Black), bb (brown)

Th ratio of black to brown is 3:1

961 black : 317 brown is approximately 3:1.

Hence, the correct option is C.

It always starts with evaporation, because without water vapor (the byproduct of evaporation), there would be no clouds (they are made out of water vapor and some other particles). Henceforth, there will be no rain.
