A scientist finds what she thinks is a new species of rodent on a small Pacific island. However, some similar-looking rodents in

habit some nearby islands. She mates the new rodent with the nearby rodents and gets viable but infertile offspring. Why?
Question 15 options:

The old and new rodents underwent vicariance, and their hybrid offspring were sterilized by adaptive radiation.

The new rodents probably derive from fairly recent ancestors that experienced dispersive allopatric speciation.*

The new and old rodents are both allopolyploid after undergoing sympatric speciation.

The answer to the given question above would be the second option. Based on the given scenario above, the reason why the new rodent with the nearby rodents and gets viable but infertile offspring is that the <span>new rodents probably derive from fairly recent ancestors that experienced dispersive allopatric speciation. Hope this helps.</span>

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Dispersive allopatric speciation,  geographically move apart the population of any species  thereby restricting gene flow between the sub-populations  

These genetic difference accumulate and with time and cause genetic drift and variable selection pressures on the subpopulations.

This causes the separation up to an extent that even if the organisms from these two sub-populations are some how brought close to each other , they will yet not interact with each other and would remain two genetically distinct populations. The differences in mating preference and hybrid inferiority keep these sub-population separate from each other.  

Hence, option B is correct

Viktor [21]

Calories from saturated fats and/or added sugars in foods that have little or no nutritional value, such as sausages and ice cream, are called Empty Calories.

Calories can be defined as the amount of energy extracted from the food which an individual eats throughout the day. According to dietary guidelines, a young person [20-25 years old] must intake between 1,600 and 3,000 calories per day.

Foods such as sausages, ice cream, pizza, and soft drinks have a high amount of empty calories because solid fats and added sugars are used in their manufacturing to add flavors and make the food more appealing but they have no nutritional value.

The amount of empty calories a person intakes should be decreased by avoiding such food items and drinks.
