Answer:
a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and experiences different selective pressures
Explanation:
This is an example of allopatric speciation Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (formation 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).
New populations evolve as result of mutation, genetic drift and natural selection.
For example, Galapagos finches are isolated from others by the ocean (geographic isolation). Because of the isolation, the finches don’t breed with one another. So, they developed unique characteristics and became endemic.

Wetlands DO NOT increase the rate of extinction of mammals by creating a loss of habitat. Wetlands rather form a habitat for many organisms creating a rich microcosm of an ecosystem.
Explanation:
Wetlands are land areas that are seasonally or permanently submerged in water. They include marshlands, estuaries, deltas, swamps, floodplains, and etcetera. The plants within wetlands, such as mangrove slow down water runoff hence allowing settling down of, sediments and pollutants hence ‘cleaning’ the water.
Due to this fact that wetlands slow water movement, these ecosystems are significant in reducing flooding by ‘storing’ flood water and releasing it slowly hence acting like flood controls.

Answer:
d. Water is transported in the phloem.
Explanation:
Xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for the movement of water and dissolved minerals from roots to various plant parts. Phloem is another vascular tissue that serves mainly in the translocation of sugars. The cohesion-tension model of water transport explains that the upward movement of water from roots to the aerial plant parts is drive by transpiration pull. Transpiration of water from leaves results in a large negative pressure in xylem elements. Cohesion and adhesion properties of water maintain the water column in xylem elements.
Prophase. This is the first stage of nuclear division
Hope this helps
1. 50, 10grams passed through barrier to equalize
2. 50, same as 1
3. 40, can’t pass through barrier
4. 60, same as 3
5. water level rises in side2, lowers in side 1 because 10 grams of liquid passed through barrier
