Different species of fruit flies occupy each of the islands in the Hawaiian island chain, a group of volcanic islands that forme

d one after the other. One hypothesis for how the different fruit fly species formed is that, after each new island was formed, fruit flies from existing islands colonized it and subsequently diverged. If this hypothesis is correct, it would be an example of:allopatric speciation by dispersal.sympatric speciation by dispersal.sympatric speciation by vicariance.peripatric speciation by vicariance.allopatric speciation by vicariance.

Answer:

allopatric speciation by dispersal

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (creation 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).

One of the factors that contribute to the allopatric speciation is dispersal.

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

Provide an adaptive and a nonadaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of useless organs, such as eyes in many cave-dwelling
Zepler [3.9K]

In order to be able to Provide an adaptive and a non-adaptive hypothesis, the following is required

<h3>What is adaptation?</h3>

It refers to a trait or an integrated set of traits that increases the fitness of an organism. It is the process of improving the fit of phenotype to environment through natural selection.

<h3>What is non adaptation?</h3>

it refers to those traits that do not result in the better adaptation of the organism to its environment, and does not increase the genetic fitness of the organism.

Let us take the case of vain organs. There may be a metabolic value to constructing a vain organ, and subsequently the humans who have misplaced that organ might also have a selective advantage. Also, if the organ is useless, the mutations that disrupt the improvement of that organ would be evolutionarily neutral, and may want to unfold to fixation via genetic drift.

So an adaptive hypothesis as to why an organism may lose useless organs is energy trade offs. The organism may additionally be losing energy in growing and retaining a vain organ, whilst this strength can be higher used someplace else. So an organism that lives in a darkish cave might also sooner or later lose its eyes considering eyes are of no use inside a darkish cave.

A non adaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of organs can be random mutation. If a random mutation occurs that causes an organism to lose its eyes, in a dark cave where it does not use its eyes anyway, it could still survive, reproduce and pass that mutation down.

What is meant by the term “essential” amino acids, what is essential about them? Put in your own words
sergey [27]
Amino acids make up proteins, and proteins are needed for proper growth in humans. They’re essential because, without them we wouldn’t have the nutrients we need to survive. I hope this helped!

1. Which of the following accurately describes a typical human karyotype?
yuradex [85]
<span>Human cells contain 23 chromosomes and has a total of 46 pairs of chromosomes. The answer is letter A. Depending on the length and morphology, it has seven groups. They are arranged from largest to smallest. It has 22 pairs of homologus chromosomes known as autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes, a total of 23 chromosomes. A male karyotype has a total of 46 chromosomes and gives a pair of XY while a female karyotype has a total of 46 chromosomes and gives a pair of XX. These pairing are responsible to the gender of the offspring.</span>
