Answer:

Alkanes

Explanation:

There are 3 classes of hydrocarbons based on the on the presence of single, double and triple bond present in them. These classes are mentioned as under:

1) alkanes

2)alkenes

3)alkynes

Alkanes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by single bond. Their general formula is CnH2n+2 that means if in an alkane n = 3 then it will have 3 carbon and 2n+2 = 8 hydrogen molecules.

Alkenes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by double bond. Their general formula is CnH2n.

Alkynes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by triple bond. Their general formula is CnH2n-2.

As explained above, the given hydrocarbon is an alkane because its chemical formula is C3H8 which satisfies the condition for formula CnH2n+2 which is valid for alkanes.

Multiple Choice New species arise when a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and experiences different selective pressures

Explanation:

This is an example of allopatric speciation Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (formation of new species) that occurs as a result of geographic isolation. This means that a part of population becomes physically separated from the initial main population. There is no gene flow between these two populations and as a result the two populations  reach a high level  of genetic divergence. They can no longer interbreed which means they become two different species (speciation).

New populations evolve as result of mutation, genetic drift and natural selection.

For example, Galapagos finches are isolated from others by the ocean (geographic isolation).  Because of the isolation, the finches don’t breed with one another. So, they developed unique characteristics and became endemic.
