This can occur when part of a population of a species becomes separated from the remainder, they may over time evolve different

When part of a population of a species gets separated from the remainder, it is termed as geographical isolation. It may evolve different characteristics due to genetic change over a period of time. If geographical barriers are removed by the humans, members of two populations will be unable to mate successfully each other and as a result new species will emerge. The formation of new species is termed as speciation. Speciation due to geographical isolation is called allopatric speciation

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The light colored pepper moths were able to camouflage in the Birchwood trees unlike the darker ones. But when the industrial revolution came the amount of smoke from the factories made the Birchwood trees become darker in color do now the darker pepper moths were the ones who could camouflage while the white ones were easily eaten and killed. Since the darker colored moths were able to survive they had offspring who were also darker colored. Over time since mainly darker moths were produced it was common for pepper moths to be darker.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Carbohydrates covalently linked to proteins (glycoproteins) or lipids (glycolipids) are also a part of cell membranes, and function as adhesion and address loci for cells. The Fluid Mosaic Model describes membranes as a fluid lipid bilayer with floating proteins and carbohydrates.

Describe the adaptations of plants to different habitats.​
qaws [65]

Answer:

Plants adapt or adjust to their surroundings. This helps them to live and grow. A particular place or a specific habitat calls for specific conditions and adapting to such conditions helps the plants to survive. ... If the habitat changes drastically the plant species must adapt, otherwise they would not survive.

Explanation:

Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place. This explains why certain plants are found in one area, but not in another.

Cells with a full set of chromosomes are referred to as diploid or 2n, whereas cells with half the chromosomes are haploid or n.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

  • Diploid → Prophase, metaphase, and anaphase
  • Haploid → Telophase

Explanation:

During prophase I,  chromosomes get condensed. Each of the chromosomes gets in pair with its homologous one. They do so to make the crossing-over possible, a stage where they interchange their parts → 2n

During metaphase I, each of the homologous pairs is driven to the equatorial plane, where they randomly line up → 2n

During anaphase I, occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. There are two alternatives per homologous pair → 2n  

In telophase I, half of the chromosomes are already in one of the poles, while the other half is on the other pole. Each group of chromosomes has now half the number of the original cell. The nuclear membrane forms again in each pole → n

Finally, occurs cytokinesis, which involves the invagination of the cell membrane and cytoplasmic division.

The two new cells are ready for meiosis II.
