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 would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and

•  Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)

Why are viruses considered nonliving but bacteria are considered living? Give to reasons.
Andreyy89
Viruses aren't made up of living cells, like plants and animals are, they either consist of DNA or RNA surrounded by coating of protein. Versus also like the properties of living things. They have no energy, they do not produce waste, and they do not respond to stimuli. they do not reproduce independently but must rely on invading living cells and feeding off a them.

Therefore, there are many reasons my viruses are considered non living but the biggest reason is because they cannot survive on their on and have to feed and get their nutrients off of living things

And bacteria is considered living because it can do all these things that viruses cannot do.
