There are many different types of dog breeds, despite the fact that they are all one species, Canis familiaris and all have a co

mmon ancestor, the wolf, Canis lupus. Many breeds, such as the Alaskan malamute and the Siberian husky look remarkably like wolves and even retain some of their habits. Other breeds like the daschund above, do not strongly resemble wolves.
What part of the theory of evolution by natural selection would explain why there are no wild wolves that resemble dachshunds?


A) Natural selection leads to evolution.
B) There is very little genetic variation in all living species.
C) There is over-reproduction in all living species to ensure their survival.
D) Competition favors the most fit organism.

D) Competition favors the fittest organisms. 
This is correct because, in different parts of the world, different organisms need different things to survive, which means if Wolves in Alaska need warm coats to survive, but animals in some parts of America don't, each animal that is the fittest to live in those conditions will survive, while the others with unfavorable genes will not.

If the length of the absolute refractory period in cardiac muscle cells was the same as it is for skeletal muscle cells, _______
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C. tetanic contractions might occur, which would stop the heart's pumping action.

Explanation:

The absolute refractory period of the cardiac muscle action potential refers to the time interval when the voltage gated sodium channels are inactivated. The absolute refractory period lasts ~180 msec. The action potential lasts 200-220 msec.

The refractory period of cardiac muscle is dramatically longer than that of skeletal muscle. This prevents tetanus from occurring and ensures that each contraction is followed by enough time to allow the heart chamber to refill with blood before the next contraction.

In order words, It is important for the cardiac muscle cells to have a longer refractory period, because if they were short like the skeletal muscles, the heart could enter tetanic contraction/summation which is when muscle is stimulated so rapidly that it does not have a chance to relax at all between stimuli.

Why do you think molds are not growing all over everything around you?
Olegator [25]

Because:

Not everything around you has the correct moisture to grow mold. Places like a shower, wood, and even toilets do, since water will soak into them, or the water is trapped. If you don't clean your shower and toilet, you will notice mold. If you look at a fence, there is probably hints of mold on it.

Something like a shelf cannot grow mold, since it usually has paint on it, and the moisture won't go through something like paint.

Another possible answer: Since the areas around you don't always have the correct moisture, mold will not grow on everything. It can grow on some stuff in your house, but not everything around you.

Compared to humans, elephants have a dramatically low instance of cancer. Elephants have multiple copies of the
Yanka [14]

Elephants have multiple copies of the p53 genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.

<h3>What is the role of p53 genes in elephants?</h3>

P53 is an important regulator of the DNA repair processes and controls uncontrolled cell proliferation. When DNA is harmed, the protein becomes active and aids in orchestrating a response that stops DNA replication and fixes any incorrect copies of the cell. The oncogene MDM2 E3 ubiquitin ligase, another protein, is responsible for deactivating the p53 repair activity in duplicated cells with intact DNA since it is not required.

A human with only two alleles from a single gene has much fewer molecular anti-cancer interactions than an elephant, which has 40 alleles, or versions, from its twenty p53 genes. Although the elephant may appear to have excessive genetic diversity, each of its 40 alleles is structurally slightly different.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

Compared to humans, elephants have a dramatically low instance of cancer. Elephants have multiple copies of the _____ genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.
