To answer this we need to remember how proteins are structured, the primary structure is just the polypeptide chain, secondary there is a certain folding level alpha-helix and folded beta-sheet, then is the tertiary structure that comes from a single polypeptide chain and is formed by secondary structures, finally, there is the quaternary structure where several polypeptide chains are involved as well as tertiary structures are folded together. Therefore taking this into consideration we can say that the correct answer is option two.
Answer:
Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original populations.
Explanation:
The new species can be formed in one of the three ways that are allopatric, peripatric, and parapatric speciation.
The allopatric speciation gives rise to new species due to the geographical barriers present between them and the peripatric speciation occurs when a small population enters into a new habitat.
In the given question, species A is more closely related to species B as to species C. This could be due to the allopatric speciation or peripatric speciation but it would depend on the number of the individuals of the population that dispersed to a different elevation which provided a new niche.
Thus, the selected option is correct.
