Answer:

this phenomenon is a natural consequence of evolutionary processes and continental drift  

Explanation:

Marsupials are mammals in which newborn offspring are carried in a pouch of the female (mother) body. On the other hand, placentals are mammals that complete embryo development in the mother's body, in the placenta. All the extant marsupials are endemic to Australia and the Americas. It has been shown that marsupials diverged (evolved) in South America, Australia and Antarctica when these landmasses were joined. In Australia, marsupials evolved to fit an ecological niche, which can be attributed to geographic isolation due to continental drift, while placental mammals are relatively recent and more scarce (mainly bats and rodents) within this region.

How do biologists describe the order of the stages of the<br> cell cycle?
ololo11 [35]
The cell stays in the interphase stage the longest. The interphase stage includes the G1 phase which is the initial growth of the cell. Next is the S phase and in simple terms it’s just the replication of the DNA. Next is the G2 phase which is the continued phase of cell growth. After interphase is completed, the cell enters prophase, then metaphase, then anaphase, then telophase, and finally cytokinesis.

After duplication, at what point does a cell become two cells with identical DNA? starting in prophase end of anaphase end of cy
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

end of cytokinesis

Explanation:

Telophase is the last stage of cell division. It ends with cytokinesis which is the splitting of the mother cells into two daughter cells. The cell pinches in the equator region with the help of a ring of contractile protein filaments. The formed cleavage furrow grows until the two cells pinch off completely.
