This question compares two types of fishes. Annual fish are small and live in temporary ponds that dry up. They survive as eggs in the mud. Their adult lifespan is very short because the ponds always dry up. Greenland sharks are very large and live a very long time (several hundred years). Which type of fish would you expect to have more incidents of cancer and why? Ogreenland sharks because they have weaker control of the cell cycle than annual fishes greenland sharks because they will go through more cell cycles than annual fishes annual fishes because they will have weaker control of the cell cycle than greenland sharks annual fishes because they will go through more cell cycles than greenland sharks

48. Wright whales are the oldest living species on record with a confirmed case of one individual living to 250 years old. 49. Based on your answer to the question above which of the two phylogenies below is most likely to reflect the relationships among different influenza strains across several consecutive years? 50. Which of the following is not an explanation for senescence? a. Trade-off for reproduction. Some mutations that allow organisms to increase offspring number have antagonistic pleiotropic effects. b. Removal of genetic load. Older individuals typically have more deleterious mutations in their soma cells, so when they die these mutations are removed from the population. c. Accumulation of post-reproductive deleterious alleles. Mutations that negatively impact you after you reproducing is done have no effect on your fitness. d. Trade-off for speed. Many mutations that increase metabolism, and thus increase overall fitness, also tend to wear out your body more quickly
