Generally speaking, there are 2 major forces that cause genetic divergence in the majority of populations and systems. 

And those are; 

Natural Selection
and
Mutation 

Natural selection causes a divergence due to the fact that organisms with " "better", more advantageous traits dependent on their environment, survive and reproduce, while the others have the lesser chance. (This causes traits in the population to change over time.)


Mutilation/Mutations, on the other hand, is a change in the genetic material of an organism-specifically when DNA is copied incorrectly.

This changes a portion of the genetic makeup of an organism, therefore changing the organism, and changing its future generations of offspring (when made...etc)


Hope this helped, let me know if you'd like more information!

<span>The experimental evidence that leads </span><span>scientists to believe that only quantized electronic energy states exist in atoms </span>was the Niels Bohr experiment on Hydrogen gas. The quantized model for electron orbits in atoms that effectively explained the spectroscopic behavior of the atoms. Each line in the spectrum corresponds to one exact frequency of light emitted by the atom.

Place the rock layers in order from oldest to youngest in the blanks below. Type the letters as they
yarga [219]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The principle of superposition states that the oldest sedimentary rock units are at the bottom, and the youngest are at the top. Based on this, layer C is oldest, followed by B and A. So the full sequence of events is as follows: Layer C formed.
