Apple maggots are a type of fly native to North America. Prior to the introduction of the apple tree to North America, apple mag
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

B is the most likely consequence because of the following facts we are told:

  • After apple trees were introduced, some apple maggots began feeding from and laying their eggs on apple trees
  • Adult apple maggots will only mate on the type of tree on which they were born.

This provides a geographical isolation (because they are feeding and laying eggs on separate trees) and reproductive isolation (because they will only mate on the type of tree on which they are born).

These two factors increase the chances that apple maggots feeding on apple trees will only encounter those who have mated on the same tree, and continue to mate this way. Over time, the populations (i.e. apple tree vs hawthorn tree) will intermix less and less. This will mean the genetic pool will become distinct, and natural selection will be acting differently (different habitats and different genes), encouraging speciation.

Give a scenario where a cell may need to perform a form of endocytosis
Elanso [62]
Endocytosis is the process where a cell imports large things into the cell. All forms of endocytosis are active, meaning the cell expends ATP while performing this process. Specifically, a style of endocytosis called phagocytosis involves a cell surrounding the target material with its cell membrane and encloses it while bringing it into the cell.  This enclosed membrane bound material then pinches off into a spherical 'vesicle'.  An example of this can be a cell importing a protein into its cellular space.
