A pine forest covers a valley, and one of the inhabitants is a fox species. After days of rain, a river forms and separates the

valley with a river that the foxes cannot cross, thus producing two isolated populations of foxes. What change needs to occur for the two populations of foxes to become separate species?

<h2 /><h2>The correct answer is: Reprodutive Isolation.</h2>

Explanation:

  • According to the question, the formation of a river in their habitat separates the foxes into two populations which are unable to come into contact with each other.
  • Gradually with the passage of time,each of the populations of foxes develop mutations which make them more adaptable to the different environments they are exposed to.
  • This eventually results in the development of a reproductive barrier in between the two populations.
  • Reproductive isolation can be defined as the evolutionary phenomenon due to which individuals belonging to two different species are incapable of reproducing or mating and producing viable and fertile offspring.
  • Reproductive isolation results into the formation of  new species.
  • In the given question, the two populations of foxes gradually undergoes divergent evolution to form two different species.

What could happen if negative feedback inhibition did not signal the pancreas to stop producing insulin and blood sugar levels d
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

If the pancreas did not stop producing insulin and blood sugar levels did not dropped to normal levels so it causes a disease called hyperinsulinemia. This disease causes heart disease and cancer in the body. With increased levels of insulin makes the cells resistant to harmone which means there is no effects of harmone on the cell and the body didn't perform its functions properly. The increase in insulin levels increase the absorption of sugar from the blood and the person gets more weight which is not good for health.
