The process through which new species arise as a result of divergent natural selection between dissimilar ecological habitats is known as ecological speciation.

There are currently many instances of this technique. A type of speciation known as ecological speciation results from reproductive isolation when there is less or no gene flow between two populations of a species as a result of an ecological condition. Environmental changes that a species encounters, such as behavioural modifications in predation, predator avoidance, pollinator attraction, and feeding, as well as modifications in mate preference brought on by sexual selection or communication mechanisms, are examples of ecological factors.

New species are created as a result of ecologically motivated reproductive isolation under divergent natural selection. In the stickleback fish system they adapt instead of being blind therefore it is an example of ecological speciation.

Thorns and small hairs on plant stems and leaves help to
Mkey [24]

The correct answer is - physically dettering herbivory, protection from frost, and minimizing evaporation.

The plants have developed multiple traits that help them in multiple different circumstances, and some of those traits are the thorns and the hairs on their steams and leaves.

The thorns primarily serve for protection of the plant. They are very sharp and give a painful sting (occasionally poisonous one), so they are a physical protection from the herbivores that would try to eat parts of the plants.

The hairs have multiple functions. They are like a coat that helps the plant to not be affected by frost, help to stop the evaporation, and also partially manage to stop most of the insects that feed on plants.

Explain how oxygen is cycled between the plant and woman shown in the picture.name the specific processes involved
julia-pushkina [17]
<h3>Answer & Explanation .:</h3>

---------------------------------

The woman inhales oxygen produced by the plant in the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS,

and she use it inside her body to release energy from the food molecules by the process of RESPIRATION also as a result of respiration Carbon dioxide gas is produced, which she exhales.

That carbon dioxide is absorbed from air by the plant and use it to prepare food from it in the presence of sunlight by the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS in which oxygen is also produced as byproduct which is then released to air and is then inhaled by the woman again to repeat the cycle.

A species of salamander has two tail length phenotypes. Short tails are completely dominant over long tails. A scientists crosse
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

D. If all of the offspring are short-tailed, the unknown individual is the homozygous dominant genotype.

Explanation:

The short tail phenotype is completely dominant over the long tail phenotype. When a short tailed salamander with unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive long tailed salamander, the cross is called testcross. Lets assume that the allele "S" gives "short tail" phenotype while the allele "s" gives "long tail" phenotype.

If the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is homozygous dominant (SS), the process of the testcross will express only dominant trait (cross 1). On the other hand, if the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is heterozygous dominant (Ss), segregation of alleles during gamete formation would form two types of gametes (cross 2). The 50% progeny would express the "long tail" phenotype while rest 50% will express the "short tail" phenotype.
