During the S phase in the cell cycle, the chromosomes are replicated so that there are two copies. These copies are necessary so that each daughter cell created during the M phase will have an identical copy of the DNA.
Therefore, the answer is A: The DNA must be replicated.
The chromosomes joining, cell membrane expanding, and cytoplasm separating all happen during the M phase (mitosis).
Answer:
The light colored pepper moths were able to camouflage in the Birchwood trees unlike the darker ones. But when the industrial revolution came the amount of smoke from the factories made the Birchwood trees become darker in color do now the darker pepper moths were the ones who could camouflage while the white ones were easily eaten and killed. Since the darker colored moths were able to survive they had offspring who were also darker colored. Over time since mainly darker moths were produced it was common for pepper moths to be darker.
The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:
- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions
- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite
- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes
- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier
- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite
- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months
