When we look at islands across the planet (think the islands of the galápagos and hawaii) we see that there are a remarkable num

ber of island endemic species, species that are found nowhere else. what is a possible explanation for this observation? island isolation promotes allopatric speciation. vicariance events are more common on islands than in mainland environments. extinction rates are lower in islands so species that have gone extinct elsewhere persist on islands. sympatric speciation on islands is easier than in mainland environments because rates of chromosomal evolution are higher on islands. sympatric speciation on islands is easier than in mainland environments because levels of disruptive selection are higher on islands?

There are number of endemic species, because island isolation promotes allopatric speciation and the latter occurs when species become separated from each other to the level that prevents genetic recombination.

Axons cross from one side of the spinal cord to the other through the
Airida [17]
<h2>Axons </h2>

Explanation:

Axons cross from one side of the spinal cord to the other through the gray commisure

  • Each arm or extension of the gray matter in the spinal cord is referred to as a horn
  • Projecting towards the back of the spinal cord are the dorsal horns (or posterior horns)
  • Projecting towards the front are the ventral horns (or anterior horns)
  • In the thoracic and upper lumbar regions of the cord, an additional pair of side projections occur, which are called the lateral horns
  • A narrow band of gray matter known as the gray commissure stretches across of the center of the spinal cord and connects the two sets of horns
  • In the middle of the gray commissure is the central canal, which contains cerebral spinal fluid

Scientist use data from Gregor Mendel‘s studies to conclude that information about traits is passed from parents to offspring th
vaieri [72.5K]

The correct answer is genes.  

A trait refers to the feature like size or color, which is passed from the parents and is inherited by the offspring. The genes control traits and come in pairs, that is, one gene from each parent.  

The transmission of hereditary traits possesses its molecular framework in the accurate DNA replication. This generates gene copies, which can be transmitted to the offspring from the parents. In plants and animals, the reproductive cells known as gametes are the mediators, which transfer genes from one generation to the next.
