Why do you think that most predators (humans, cheetahs, dogs, etc.) have eyes facing forward, while most prey species (cows, deer, horses, etc.) have their eyes on the sides of their heads? explain from the perspective of both the predators and the prey species.

Most predators have forward facing eyes, while most prey have side mounted eyes. If you think about the animal behaviors of both prey and predators, you should be able to make connections between their eye placement and their necessities for survival. Most prey have side mounted eyes because it allows for a better depth perception and a wider field of view. This can help the animals keep watch while they graze in open fields. On the other hand, most predators have forward facing eyes because it allows them to focus in on prey while hunting and chasing.

Hope this helps. Good luck! :)

cytokinesis occurs after telophase so that eliminates d

and the entire reason for cytokinesis is for cellular reproduction

Answer from: Quest

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
