gavmur [86]

Answer:

Option B, Mammals and reptiles in the post-dinosaur age.

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation is mechanism through which species evolve very fast from common single ancestors. In simple words two different species are said to have evolved through adaptive radiation when they have descended from a single lineage. This is not the case with mammals and reptiles.  

Generally in adaptive radiation, a species evolve when it faces new environmental challenges due to change of habitat or area. For example mammals have evolved from dinosaurs.

Following cytokinesis in an animal cell, how many centrioles does each new daughter cell possess?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

two (a pair)

Explanation:

Centrioles are the pair of hollow cylinders that are located near the nucleus in the cytoplasm in a non-dividing cell. Two centrioles together make a centrosome. Centriole duplication occurs before cell division as the duplicated centrioles take part in the formation of the spindle apparatus. However, cytokinesis distributes one pair of centrioles to each daughter cell. Therefore, after cytokinesis, two centrioles are present in each daughter cell.

During which phase of the cell is a cells DNA copied
MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Hi there!

Cell cycle has 2 phases (i.e M-phase and Inter-phase). Interphase is considered to be the longest phase. Interphase also has G1-phase, S-phase and G2-phase. In cell cycle while moving from M-phase it has two option either to go in G1-phase or G0 phase. It it goes to G0-phase it doesn't go under cell division but if it goes to G1-phase it starts to prepare materials required to replicate or copy DNA. After preparing all the material it goes in S-phase and copies DNA. It doesn't go to G2-phase until it copies DNA perfectly. Then it goes to G2-phase. In this phase it prepares material for replication of other cell organelles.

Therefore, DNA is copied in S-phase.

Hope it helps!
