A certain species of salamander was split into two populations by a wide, dry valley, and the populations began to diverge from

each other. After a period of time, some members of the two populations began to interbreed in a hybrid zone at the southern end of the valley. Only weak reproductive barriers existed by this time, so the two populations could freely interbreed and re-establish gene flow. This outcome in a hybrid zone is known as _____.

<h2>The correct answer is: Fusion.</h2>

Explanation:

  • In the course of speciation in salamander the following events occurred:
  1. Two populations of a particular species of salamander got geographically isolated from each other by a dry valley.
  2. Each of the populations developed independently of each other according to the environment each of them were exposed to.
  3. This caused them to develop and accumulate mutations that made them genetically diverged from each other.
  4. Ultimately, a reproductive barrier was established between them, hence they lost the capability of interbreeding with each other and producing viable offspring.
  5. But, at the junction zone or hybrid zone (the region of the habitat where individuals of both the populations lived) the reproductive barrier was weak and reproduction by interbreeding, hence, gene flow was possible.
  6. In evolutionary science, this hybrid zone is referred to as the zone of Fusion.

Assessment of a term neonate at 8 hours after birth reveals tachypnea, diminished femoral pulses, and poor lower body perfusion.
12345 [234]
The correct answer is "coarctation of the aorta". In coarctation of the aorta, there is an abnormal narrowing of the aorta, most commonly in the abdominal aorta, which compromises blood flow from going into the lower extremities. Patients with coarctation of the aorta most commonly presents with tachypnea as this is a high pressure congenital heart defect which makes breathing harder for the baby; diminished femoral pulses and poor lower body perfusion as the narrowing compromises blood flow. In physical examination, there will be a narrow ankle-brachial index, or the difference between the pulse pressures of the ankle (lower extremity) and the brachium (upper extremity).
