Answer

  • Anatomy Species may share similar physical features because the feature was present in a common ancestor <u><em>(homologous structures)</em></u>.
  • Molecular biology DNA and the genetic code reflect the shared ancestry of life.
  • Biogeography The global distribution of organisms and the unique features of island species reflect evolution and geological change.
  • Fossils Fossils document the existence of now-extinct past species that are related to present-day species.
  • <u><em>Direct observation</em></u> We can directly observe small-scale evolution in organisms with short lifecycles <u><em>(e.g., pesticide-resistant insects)</em></u>.

What happens when the bonds between the phosphate groups in ATP are broken?
Pani-rosa [81]

These three phosphate groups are linked to one another by two high-energy bonds called phosphoanhydride bonds. When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

12. Consider a population of 5000 garter snakes. Two hundred of those snakes split off from the population to a new habitat. Whe
olga2289 [7]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are-

a. migration

b. genetic drift

c. mutation

d. stabilizing selection

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- migration

Explanation:

Migration refers to the long-distance movement of the individual, group and population. The migration enables the flow of genes from one population into another called gene flow. Migration is the strongest force of gene flow after selection.

In the given case, since the allele frequency of the population has changed due to the migration of the 200 snakes from a population of 5000 snakes, therefore, migration is the correct answer.
