Why are populations, rather than individuals, the units of evolution?

Biology
1 answer:
Olin [163]3 years ago
8 0
The units of evolution are populations and not individuals because a variation or a mutation in an individual is not sure to last or produce offsprings having the same variation or mutation. The proof that a species has truly evolved is when the variation has allowed the species to survive its environment and produce generations carrying the same variation.

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle?
wariber [46]

In eukaryotic cells the DNA can be found in the nucleus mainly. so DNA replication takes place in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Also in eukaryotic cells there are mitochondria and chloroplasts (plants) and these have circular DNA and they also get replicated (according to their own mechanism).

Prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. They do not contain DNA in the cytoplasm and thus the DNA replication will take place here.

I really hope this helps!
