Question

C e s extend the length of the DNA until it becomes too unwieldy to replicate well Extracellular signals tell the cells to stop dividing The nucleotides in the DNA eventually degrade and don't adhere well to each other anymore Question 10 1 pts What evidence do we have against the rate of living theory? Organisms that have short lifespans tend to have lower rates of mutation o Very few organisms have short life spans Organisms that have longer lifespans tend to have higher genetic variation Selection can act to increase lifespan No new data to save.

Answer 1

The rate of living theory states that shorter the life span of an organism, faster the metabolism. But organisms with longer life span will produce more number of progeny in that period as compared to the organism with shorter life span. More number of progeny will have a greater chance of selection. So answer will be "Selection can act to increase life span".
