How did Pangea breakup contribute to evolution

Biology
1 answer:
swat324 years ago
3 0
<span>If a geological barrier (like a continent splitting apart) separates a population of primates, then each population will evolve separately to fit the different conditions of their environments.

As a hypothetical example, if one part of Pangea went north, the primates on that part would adapt to cold temperatures. If the other part went toward the equator, those primates would adapt to heat and direct sunlight. Eventually they would evolve into different species over many generations.</span>

How do viruses cause disease? Please answer with complete sentences.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Virulence, the capacity to cause disease, varies markedly among viruses. Some viruses cause lethal disease while others do not. For example, nearly all humans infected with rabies virus develop a disease of the central nervous system which ultimately leads to death. In contrast, most humans are infected with circoviruses with no apparent consequence.

Explanation: One explanation for viral virulence is that it facilitates transmission. However, a comparison of infections caused by two enteric viruses, poliovirus and norovirus, does not support this general view. Both viruses infect the gastrointestinal tract and are spread efficiently among humans by fecal contamination.

A sex linked trait can be defined by which genotypes. Choose all which apply.
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

a. Coded for on the X and Y chromosomes

b. Coded for on the X but not Y chromosome

c. Coded for on the Y but not X chromosome

Explanation:

The X and Y chromosomes are the sex chromosomes as they are involved in sex determination. All the genes that are present on the X and Y chromosomes are inherited along with these chromosomes and therefore, exhibit sex-linked inheritance.

X and Y chromosomes share a homologous region. Therefore, the sex-linked genes are defined as the ones present on both X and Y chromosomes as well as the ones that are present on either X or Y chromosomes.

For example, the gene for hemophilia is present on the X chromosome; but not on the Y chromosome. The SRY gene is present only on the Y chromosome.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

C. Semiconservative replication

Explanation:

Semiconservative replication is a mechanism of replication. Semiconservative model of replication states that in daughter cell, with new double-stranded DNA (cell after replication and mitosis) one strand is from the original template molecule while other is newly synthesized.

This is possible thanks to complementary pairing in DNA (each original strand of double-helix DNA is used as a template for the synthesis of the new strand).

kotegsom [21]

Explanation:

Plant) Banana

Trait: Smaller seeds, larger fruit, thinner skin

People breed plants to gain desired produce with more yield. After years of genetic nurturing, the perfect bananas were created with smaller seeds, larger sizes, and an offspring with greater abundance for maximum profit.

Animal) Chihuahua

Trait: Smaller size

Chihuahuas are a great example of artificial selection in a domesticated animal because over time people successfully breaded different dogs to acquire the size of the chihuahua.
