In a hypothetical situation, a certain species of flea feeds only on pronghorn antelopes. In thewestern United States, pronghorn

s and cattle often associate with one another in the same openrangeland. Some of these fleas develop a strong preference for cattle blood and mate only withother fleas that prefer cattle blood. The host mammal can be considered as the fleasʹhabitat. If thissituation persists, and new species evolve, this would be an example of _____.A) allopatric speciation and gametic isolationB) sympatric speciation and temporal isolationC) allopatric speciation and habitat isolationD) sympatric speciation and habitat isolation

Answer:

D) sympatric speciation and habitat isolation

Explanation:

Sympatric isolation is a form of evolutionary process whereby different species from an ancestral origin evolve within the same geographical environment as a result of reproductive isolation.

Habitat isolation is a form of reproductive isolation which occurs when two populations of a species inhabiting overlapping habitats become unable to interbreed with each other.  

Reproductive isolation (habitat isolation) that occurs in the fleas is as a result of the new species becoming separate from it's ancestral species which feed only on pronghorn antelopes, although both species can still be found in the same geographical location (rangeland). The new species now have preference for cattle blood, and so are now found on cattle.

In the situation of the two new species of flea that would evolve, it can be said to an example of sympatric speciation and habitat isolation, since the host mammal is assumed to be their habitat and both the cattle and pronghorns often associate with one another in the same open rangeland.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

According to Mendelian's law of inheritance, the dominant allele is the allele that is expressed in an individual while the recessive allele are usually not expressed in the phenotype of an individual.

If a parents is dominant for a particular allele of tallness and recessive for a particular allele of shortness it is observed that the dominant allele is what is expressed in the phenotype of the offspring and inherited in simple Mendelian fashion by the offspring.

A random mutation occurs and the GGA codon is changed to GGU. What effect does this substitution have on the amino acid being ca
salantis [7]

Answer:

Instead of arginine codon, proline condon would be coded.

Explanation:

GCA encodes codes for glycine while on the other hand codon to GGU, GGC, or GGG encodes for glycine.

This substitution will lead to generation of complementary code “Proline” in the complementary mRNA or DNA strand.  

The codon CCT, CCC, CCA, CCG encodes for proline. If this mutation would not have occurred then Arginine would have been encoded in the complementary codon  with base structure of CGT, CGC, CGA, CGG
