The correct answer is speciation.
Speciation is the term that describes the evolutionary process causing populations to evolve into different species. There are four different types of speciation: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric and sympatric. In this case, the process described is an allopatric speciation, the most common of these four types. Allopatric speciation happens when populations are geographically separated, an event that obstructs the gene flow. Since the gene flow stops, the populations evolve in response to the different environments that they live in.

Which of the following populations would be considered r-selected? Black Widow Spiders - they produce 1000s of offspring and few
belka [17]

Answer:

Option 1.

Explanation:

r-selected species may be defined as the species that has higher growth rate, shows less parental care and the rate of survival of the off spring is low as compared  with k selected species.

Black widow spiders have the ability to produce 1000 offspring. Their chances of survival are extremely low and only few species of black widow spiders survive. Hence, black widow spider is r-selected species.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

How is the energy of a nuclear reactor converted to electricity? The nuclear reactions produce electrical energy directly. Heat
timofeeve [1]

Nuclear power plants use the nuclear fission reaction to release energy and generate electricity through energy conversion. Take the pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant as an example to illustrate its working principle.

In the pressurized water reactor, a large amount of heat is generated by the self-sustaining chain fission reaction of the nuclear fuel nucleus. The coolant (also called the heat carrier) brings the heat in the reactor to the steam generator and transfers the heat to the working medium, water. The main circulation pump then delivers the coolant back to the reactor for recycling, thereby forming a circuit called the first circuit. This process is also the energy conversion process of nuclear fission energy converted into thermal energy.

The working medium on the secondary side of the U-tube outside the steam generator is vaporized by heat to form steam. The steam enters the steam turbine to expand work, and converts the heat energy released by the steam enthalpy into the mechanical energy of the rotor of the steam turbine. This process is called thermal energy conversion to mechanical energy. The energy conversion process. The steam that has done work is condensed into condensed water in the condenser and returned to the steam generator to form another circulation loop called the second loop. This process is called the energy conversion process of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The rotating rotor of the steam turbine directly drives the rotor of the generator to rotate, so that the generator emits electric energy, which is an energy conversion process that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

When we doing strawberry extraction,why do we have to remove the air as much as possible before we seal the bag?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen is needed to support life and some metabolic processes in microorganisms especially aerobic organism.

The presence of oxygen in the container gives them the opportunity to carry out there metabolic activities thereby enhancing there growth and multiplication.

Hence, to limit the growth of aerobic bacteria or fungi, and also to prevent the evaporation of volatile components that is available in the content oxygen is withdrawn this help extend the shelf life of the produce to be stored.
