Island isolation promotes allopatric speciation. Species are separated by the physical barrier which is in the ocean and islands are being isolated by each other by bodies of water.
 There is no gene flow which occurs between the separated species. Living in the distinct island. The species get adopted by the island to the environment.
They then diverge as they separate species.

A remarkable number of species on an island that are found nowhere else is a result of island isolation that promotes allopatric speciation where there is an evolution of species caused by the geographic isolation of two or more populations of a species. These results to increase biodiversity of species found on the island.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

These facts are true and disturbing

Explanation:

Genetics is a discipline that has advanced incredibly in the last years. For example, by using the versatile CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, we are now able to insert literally any sequence into a given genome in vivo. The CRISPR-Cas9 is a technology that can be used in a regular molecular biology laboratory. It is expected this technique will enable in the near future to correct genetic disorders that have plagued mankind since times immemorial. However, genomic technologies like that could be used by malignant persons to hurt innocent people, thereby it is imperative that countries regulate their use.

Proteins and carbohydrates have many functions in the body of an organism. Specific proteins and carbohydrates perform specific
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Both store materials needed by the organism.

Explanation:

Proteins and carbohydrates are two biomolecules present in living organisms. They perform varying functions in the body of an organism. According to this question, a specific protein (ferritin) and carbohydrate (glycogen) is described.

Ferritin is a protein molecule containing Iron (Fe). Iron is needed by living organisms as it plays a vital role in organism's metabolism. On the other hand, glycogen is a carbohydrate molecule that is made up of glucose molecules, needed by living organisms.

Based on the description of the two biomolecules provided, they are similar in their primary functions for an organism in the sense that THEY BOTH STORE MATERIALS (glucose and iron) NEEDED BY AN ORGANISM.
