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

aniked [119]

Answer:

Fungi are unicellular or multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are dependent for their energy and food on dead organic material or other organisms. These organisms produce by both sexual and asexual reproduction.

1. club fungi show a bipolar mating system as they have positive and negative mating strands.

2. sac fungi have an erect fruiting body filled with asci.

3. The chytrids have a cell wall of chitin, a flagellum, absorptive structures for nutrition therefore have a lineage.

4. The common molds grow in the form of hyphae and shows all for of nutrition and live in every possible habitate.

The half life of C14 is 5730 years. I have a sample that I dug up from a sea cucumber fossil. I expected .00015ppm of C14 in my
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The answer is 17190 years

Explanation:

Original amount was 5730. To become 1/8 of the original amount, three (3)  half life periods will demand because after first half life the amount will become 1/2 and after second half life, amount become 1/2 again (1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4).  Third half life, the amount become half 1/2 again (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8).

For the 3 half life periods we have original amount x numbers of half life periods = 5730 years x 3   =  17190 years

According to some botanists, invasive plants are the second most serious threat, after habitat loss, to native species of plants
Nataliya [291]

Answer: option A - threat, after habitat loss, to native species of plants and animals and to the maintenance of biologically diverse ecosystems

Explanation:

Invasive species refers to organisms that appears at a particular habitat that has just undergone an environmental unfavorable condition.

These INVASIVE SPECIES poses THREAT to the native organisms, because they usually possess:

better resistance to disease,

higher reproductive rate, etc.

So, even when native organisms migrate or dies, Invasive species REMAINS. As a result, they threaten the maintenance of a biologically diverse ecosystem
