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.

Depeding on the amount of light and distance of objects from the eyes, the lens changes shape to allow focus on objects at varying distances and this is called accommodation.</span>

harkovskaia [24]

If given a chance to advice Mr. Smith, I would recommend him to minimize going out in the sun when it is at the peak of the morning but if not possible since he works under the sun, it would be good to put on sunblock with a highest SPF and use precautionary measures like using hats and wearing long sleeve to protect also the skin.  More water to hydrate, and vitamins for skin protection.
