B) the separation populations will always evolve into at least 2 different species
C)if the environments differ enough, the separated populations may evolve differently

<span>Animals pass down their features to their children when they breed.  </span>When you separate a population (or group of animals of the same species), say by building a large wall, they can't interbreed with each other.  This means that if an animal on one side of the border gets an adaptation, it won't pass it on to the other animal.  Soon, each side will evolve different adaptations, and the two populations will become so different that they become two different species.

It is possible that one-half wouldn't be able to survive, and go extinct, but it doesn't happen all the time (A is incorrect).  Similarly, the populations don't ALWAYS evolve into two different species, though they may (B is incorrect).  However, if the environments differ enough, they will acquire different adaptations through evolution.  C is correct!  Keep in mind that D is incorrect: the first part, the populations can't interbreed, is correct, but that doesn't mean they will die off.

Why does a virus lethal to us not infect animals? I know that RNA viruses mutate at 10,000 to a million times faster than DNA vi
Setler [38]

The virus needs to speak the molecular language of cells. This is how he manages to dominate and enslave them so that they become factories for new viruses, producing the proteins that the infectious agent requires to assemble its descendants. If this conversation is not fine-tuned, even if the virus has the key and enters, it is doomed to failure.

<h3>Why does a virus lethal to us not infect animals?</h3>

For a virus to be able to enter a cell, it must have the right key. And this key, which are the proteins on the surface of viruses, has to enter the correct lock, the receptors that are on the cell membrane. Cells are actually houses with many different doors and locks. Some viruses have keys that open the lock of any cell and any kind of host, and others do not, so the infection caused by viruses is specific.

With this information, we can conclude that some viruses have keys that open the lock of any cell and any kind of host, and others do not, so the infection caused by viruses is specific.

Dietary fiber has been recommended for its possible benefits in reducing heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol. How does f
malfutka [58]

Answer:

By lowering the levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL)

Explanation:

Dietary fibers are classified into two: the soluble fiber and the insoluble fiber. Studies have show that the soluble fiber play a significant role in lowering blood cholesterol, hence reducing the cardiovascular diseases.

Soluble fiber helps to lower blood cholesterol by its ability to bind to the small intestine which further binds to cholesterol most especially the ad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein). Binding of Fibers to cholesterol prevents them from migrating to the blood stream and to other  parts of the body. Since cholesterol can't get into the bloodstream, it exits the body through feces. Fiber has more effect on lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) than High density lipoprotein (good cholesterol.
