Passing on negative mutations. This is seen by Cheetahs having sperm with low fertility. This was caused by nearly all of them dying out, which reduced the gene pool and meant they had to inbreed to avoid extinction.

Answer:

If humans were still hunting and gathering food instead of farming - taken into account that the entire population hunts and gathers food in the context of this question - the majority of people would have dark-skin complexions.

Explanation:

This is easily explained by a hunter-gatherer's way of living. Before humans learned to raise animals and grow crops, the majority of us were hunters and gatherers. Hunters and gatherers lived, and still continues to live, their lives very differently from how we are living at present. They'd spend hours hunting - as their name suggests - and catching food out in the wild, which exposes them to a higher amount of sunlight than our everyday way of living. To cope with this, evolution also played an important part in determining the survival of these people in the scorching sun - they evolved to producing high amounts of melanin. Melanin is a dark pigment that helps protect our skin cells against the harmful UV rays from the sun. Lighter skinned people have less melanin than darker skinned people, and when that extra melanin is produced, you'd see it as a tan. Hunter-gatherers produced high amounts of melanin, primarily because they had adapted to spending a large fraction of their time out in the open. The melanin acts like a built-in sunscreen for them, protecting them from getting skin cancers like melanoma.

Answer:

If a son is born, there is a 50% chance he will have that trait/be a carrier of the trait

if a daughter is born, there is a 0% chance she will have that trait, there is a 50% chance that she will be a carrier of the trait

Match the steps in the cell cycle in the correct order
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

1. Chromosomes line up - metaphase

2. Cell growth - G1

3. Final preparations for division - G2

4. Chromosomes get pulled apart - anaphase

5. DNA replication - S

6. Chromosomes condense - prophase

7. Chromosomes uncoil and nucleus reforms - telophase

8. The cytoplasm and organelles divide, and now there are two identical cells - cytokinesis

Explanation:

There are four primary phases, or stages, in the cell cycle, which is a systematic process. Each stage has a goal that has to be achieved before moving on to the next. G1, S, G2, and mitosis are the stages.
There is growth during the G1 phase. A lot of protein is produced and water is pumped in, increasing the volume of the cell. The DNA is also examined at this time to see whether there has been any damage. The G1 phase precedes the S phase, therefore before going into S phase, the cell must make sure it has enough energy reserves.

The cell duplicates its DNA during the synthesis phase, also known as the S phase. DNA content doubles due to the duplication of all chromosomes. The compact state of DNA is created by proteins, which do not exist in and of themselves. Therefore, in order to ensure that the new DNA is properly packed when DNA is replicated, new packaging proteins must be produced. Histones are the proteins that house DNA. The production of new DNA is closely linked to the production of new histones.

A cell multiplies its organelles during the G2 phase. Right before the cells divide into two distinct cells during mitosis, the G2 phase occurs. There must be distinct functioning organelles in each daughter cell. Organelles like the golgi and endoplasmic reticulum are linked networks of sizable membrane pouches that may change size. Other organelles, including mitochondria and chloroplasts, are separate structures that must separate similarly to how cells do.

The process of physically dividing a cell into two daughter cells is called mitosis. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are its four basic stages. The nuclear membrane deteriorates as the chromosomes thicken during prophase. The center of the cell's chromosomes align during metaphase. One chromosome splits in half during anaphase, sending one half to either side. The telophase is characterized by the pinching together of the cell's centre to form two separate cells.
