An example of a population in which evolution could take place in a relatively short period of time could be pathogenic bacteria exposed to antibiotics.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Evolution if takes place within a short period of time say the next generation that is called as micro evolution. This is caused when a specific organism exposed in a different environment at once modifies its genes to suit the new environment. This phenomenon can be very well seen in the pathogenic bacteria which are exposed to antibiotics.
When an antibiotic is prescribed to bacteria initially it nullifies its effect by destroying it. When continuously exposed to a certain antibiotic some bacteria dies but there are few which becomes resistant to it and survives. This on the other hand multiplies producing a generation that can’t be touched by the antibiotic.
First, a complete digestive system means that the digestive tract has a beginning or the oral end and the opposite end or the aboral end. This is found in more complex animals starting from roundworms (flatworms have an incomplete digestive tract). A closed circulatory system is found in animals more recent than mollusks. The presence of the coelom makes it more evolved than the flatworms.
Specifically, a small animal with a segmented body, short stiff appendages, and soft skin with the above characteristics point out to the phylum Annelida or annelids.
The five major types of estuaries classified by their geology are coastal plain, bar-built, deltas, tectonic and fjords. In geologic time, which is often measured on scales of hundreds of thousands to millions of years, estuaries are often fleeting features of the landscape.
Answer:
Taxol induces the assembly of microtubules, while Nocodazole suppresses tubulin assembly
Explanation:
Taxol and nocodazole are antimitotic drugs, i.e., drugs that inhibit the progression through the cell cycle, which is useful for killing cancer cells. Microtubules are proteins that act as the 'skeleton of the cell', which need to be reorganized when cells replicate. These structures (microtubules) are composed of α and β-tubulin heterodimers which assemble into protofilaments of microtubules. Taxol is an antimitotic drug that induces the formation of microtubules, thereby inhibiting microtubules' reorganization during mitosis. In consequence, cells treated with Taxol enter into apoptosis (i.e., programmed cell death). Moreover, Nocodazole is known to induce microtubule disassembly by interfering with the polymerization of tubulin monomers. In consequence, Nocodazole is useful to depolymerize the microtubule cytoskeleton.
