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.

Explain how homeostasis and metabolism are interrelated
balandron [24]
Homeostasis is the upkeep of a steady interior condition. In the Biology setting, it implies a consistent body condition, for instance, steady body temperature, blood glucose level. Metabolism alludes to the responses that occur in the body which enables life to be kept up. You need digestion occurring keeping in mind the end goal to look after homeostasis.

A horse has 64 chromosomes and a donkey has 62. Using your knowledge of meiosis, explain why a cross between a horse and a donke
nlexa [21]
Ok, so when a horse (with 64 chromosomes) is crossed with a donkey(that has 62 chromosomes), each parent give its child half of its chromosomes. [64/2=32] [62/2=31]. So the mule gets 31 pairs of chromosomes plus 32 pairs of chromosomes. That equals 63 total chromosomes. In order to be a parent, it must give <span>half of its chromosomes to its child. [63/2=31.5] You can't have half a chromosome, so the mule is a sterile organism. Let me know if you have questions.</span>

If 10.0 mL of blood plasma has a mass of 10.279 g and contains 0.870 g of protein, what is the mass/mass percent concentration o
Maru [420]

Answer:

Mass/mass percent concentration means the mass of the solute/mass of the solution times 100. You know both the mass of the solute (0.870 g protein) and the mass of the solution (10.279 g solution). So divide and multiply your result by 100.  (0.870 / 10.279 * 100)
