There are two species of freshwater shrimp that are introduced to a pond. The first species, Caridina cantonensis, is brightly c
olored with red and white stripes. The second species, Caridina multidentata, is more mottled drab in coloration. Fish have an easier time finding and eating Caridina cantonensis due to their bright colors. When each of these species reproduce they produce about 100 offspring, but only 30% Caridina cantonensis offspring survive to reproductive age, while 75% Caridina multidentata offspring survive to reproductive age. In this situation what is natural selection selecting for? In this situation what is natural selection selecting against? How do you predict this population will evolve? Identify how each of the listed conditions from the above scenario that influence natural selection.
Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.
In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.
The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.
The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.
The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.
It is similar because the nuclear envelope is a membrane similar to the cell membrane around the whole cell. There are pores and spaces for RNA and proteins to pass through while the nuclear envelope keeps all of the chromatin and nucleolus inside. When the cell is in a resting state there is something called chromatin in the nucleus.
"<span>The central vacuole is a cellular organelle found in plant cells. It is often the largest organelle in the cell. It is surrounded by a membrane and functions to hold materials and wastes. It also functions to maintain the proper pressure within the plant cells to provide structure and support for the growing plant."</span>
Prevention of sister chromatids' separation during anaphase.
Explanation:
During the anaphase, the chromosomes moves toward poles. This process is It is accompanied by shortening of the kinetochore microtubules and by the depolymerization of spindle microtubules at the two spindle poles.
So when docetaxel is introduced the anaphases' processes are stopped.
