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.

A colorimeter is an instrument used for chemical analysis by comparing a liquid’s color with standard colors. In an experiment,
klio [65]
The first colorimeter is precise, but it is not accurate. It seems to have a zero error of -5.
We can conclude its precision because the readings are closely grouped, but its lack of accuracy is due to its variation from the actual value. Moreover, the variation is consistently of 5 points lower than the actual value, so its zero error may be -5.

The second colorimeter may be referred to as being accurate.

Nina [5.8K]
<span>This would be an example of a mutation, because the changing of allele frequencies would be a change within the gene itself, which would be a mutation in the DNA. This is evidenced by the fact that there is now a form of human resistance to malaria, due to changes within human DNA itself.</span>
