Answer: Option D. Vestigial trait

Explanation:

Vestigial traits simply involves those traits (such as organs, structurrs or behaviors) which are found or occurs in organisms or animals, that have lost all or most of their original function through evolution. These vestigial structures were organs that performed some important functions in the organism at one point in the past. In most cases, organs or traits once identified as vestigial simply had an unrecognized function.

Which is a weakness of traditional food webs when they are applied to complex ecological problems?
Anna007 [38]

A food web does not represent all the links in an actual ecosystem.

Explanation:

A food web is also called food cycle. It is understood by the natural interconnection of chain and their graphical representation.  The concept is given by Charles Elton. He mentioned about the concept of food cycles in Animal Ecology but later this food cycle is replaced by food web.

Food web are limited representation of eco system. Ecologists can keep together all life forms broadly into one of the two categories which is called tropic levels.  These two categories are autotrophs and heterotrophs

What are chromatids and how do they differ from chromosomes
Molodets [167]
Chromatids are only called as chromatids when they are sister chromatids, meaning that when chromosome have two double stranded DNA attached together, each of the double stranded DNA is a sister chromatid, and while the whole thing (the two sister chromatids that are attached together) is called a chromosome.

So after the DNA has been replicated, the chromosome consist of 2 sister chromatids, attached to each other at their centromere.

Overall, sister chromatid is one of the two double stranded DNA in a replicated chromosome, and chromosome is the whole "X" shape that we see. For example, in humans, after the S phase of interphase in the cell cycle, we have 46 chromosomes, with 92 chromatids, since each chromosome is an "X" shape, by having two sister chromatids.

Hope this helps!

During cell division, what definition correctly describes the process of cytokinesis?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The cell’s membrane separates the cytoplasm, forming two cells.

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is the physical process during cell division that separates the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two different daughter cells. Cytokinesis occurs after the telophase of mitosis. During this process, the cell membrane grows to surround each daughter cell and thus separate them. In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by a ring of contractile microfilaments that lead to the constriction of the parental cell.
