Answer:

The correct answer is that it is held constant throughout the experiment.

Explanation:

A variable that is maintained constant all through the experiment is known as a control variable, and it is not the main concern in the outcome of the experiment. In an experiment, if there is any kind of change in a control variable it would lead to an error in the correlation of independent variable to the dependent variables, thus, affecting the results.

is held constant throughout the experiment.

the control group is used as a foundation for your experiment so you know what changes what and how to manipulate the independent variable.

Which is a main cause of speciation
Morgarella [4.7K]
That would be animals getting isolated into different groups in different locations. These animals would have to breed AND adapt to that location, otherwise they will become extinct. When each species adapts and breeds to agree with a different location, that would be called speciation.

<h2>Evolution </h2>

Explanation:                  

Genetic drift

  • Genetic drift is change in allele frequencies in a population from generation to generation that occurs due to chance events
  • The genetic drift occurs due to random fluctuation of any allele in a gene pool and is more efficient in small population
  • The founder effect and the bottleneck effect are cases in which a small population is formed from a larger population which means they may experience strong drift for generations
  • In founder effect a genotype from a homogeneous gene pool migrate to a newer habitat and colonize there and form a newer community which leads to the genetic drift to the original population, speciation which occurs in this effect is the peripatric speciation
  • In bottleneck effect the elimination of inferior genotype from a homogeneous gene pool occurs due to the strong selection pressure and changing environmental conditions which leads to genetic drift and a only a few most adapted genotype survives and flourish

Natural Selection

  • Natural selection is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit
  • Genetic drift, mutation and sexual selection are important causes of natural selection
  • Directional natural selection favours the superior genotype and eliminate the inferior and intermediate genotype, in the history of evolution the most common natural selection is directional natural selection
  • Stabilizing natural selection favours the intermediate genotype but eliminates the extreme genotype
  • Bidirectional natural selection favours the extreme genotypes but eliminate the intermediate genotypes
