Populations of coastal lodgepole pine are separated along an environmental gradient of soil pH that changes from neutral pH near

the shoreline to extremely acidic pH approximately 8 km away from the shore. Populations of lodgepole pine inhabiting the ends of this environmental gradient (i.e. neutral pH versus extremely acidic pH soils) have diverged in a number of phenotypic characters, as well as cannot interbreed. What model of speciation is this pattern consistent with?

Answer:

Parapatric speciation  

Explanation:

There are different types of speciation. Parapatric speciation consists of new species evolving from a continuous distribution. That is, there is no physical barrier that might impede the gene flow,  in fact, it might continue during the speciation process.  

There is an environmental gradient that determines different phenotypes for different environmental conditions. One phenotype is more adapted to one of the distribution extremes than the other phenotype. In the exposed case, the environmental gradient is given by the differences in pH.

In the border between the environmental extremes, there is the primary hybrid zone, where both phenotypic forms might meet and hybridize.

What enzyme places the nucleotides on the dna strand?
stepan [7]

Answer:

What is  DNA polymerase.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase enzyme is the enzyme That reads the code and synthesizes the appropriate nucleotide base pairs according to the matching nucleotide after DNA splits during the replication process.

It helps in making the DNA error-free by proofreading. DNA polymerase III which has 2 molecules that work on both the strand leading and lagging strand.

A neuron transmits information by the secretion of hormones. True or False
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It helps in transmitting information from one neuron to another neuron, gland, or muscle cell.

The conduction of nerve impulse is electrochemical in nature. It transmits the impulse electrically through the axon the nerve cells and chemically through synapses (gap between two nerves cells).

The axon terminals of pre-synaptic nerve cell release chemical messengers (also called neurotransmitters) in the synaptic cleft. These messengers then bind to the receptors present on the post-synaptic nerve cell and regenerate the nerve impulse.

Which organelle contains digestive enzymes that break down waste material and debris in the cell? lysosome ribosome vacuole chlo
Leto [7]

Answer: Lysosomes.

Lysosomes are the specialized membrane-bound cell organelles present in almost all eukaryotic cells. The lysosomal membrane keeps the acidic (pH 5) compartment of lysosomes segregated from the cytoplasm. Lysosomes play a crucial role in the degradation of waste material and debris inside the cell.

This is accomplished by the action of hydrolytic enzymes also called as acid hydrolases. These enzymes are only active in the acidic medium which is maintained in the lysosomes by proton pumps.

Lysosomes are also called as 'suicide bags' as they clear off the waste material.
