A skin cell of a red fox has 34 chromosomes. You look at the cell under a microscope and see that it has 34 chromosomes and one nucleus. Several hours later, you look at the same cell a second time and see that it has double the amount of DNA and one nucleus. A little while later, you see the cell for a third time and notice that it has 68 chromosomes and two nuclei. What stage of the cell cycle was this cell in when you viewed it at each time point

See the answer below

Explanation:

At the first look, the cell was in G1 phase of the cell cycle. At the second look, the cell was in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, and at the third look, the cell was in Telophase.

At the G1 phase of the cell cycle, the cell mainly experiences growth and development. Nothing much happens except that the cell increases in volume.

At the G2 phase of the cell cycle, synthesis of DNA has taken place during the S phase and the amount of DNA present in a cell is doubled at this stage.

At the telophase stage of the cell division in the cell cycle, chromosomes have completed their migration to the poles and each pole appears like a nucleus with their individual chromosomes under the microscope. The cytoplasm is yet to divide at this stage, hence, everything still appears as a single cell.

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
