Answer:A): four electron shells

Explanation:

In the period table, atoms are arranged in rows called periods and columns called groups. The arrangement of atoms in groups is based on the number of their valence electrons while the arrangement of atoms across the periods is based on their number of electrons shells. Atoms are arranged across the periods in increasing order of their atomic number i.e., according to their number of electrons. Potassium has 19 electrons while copper has 29 electrons. Both has four electrons shells according to their electronic configuration.

Consider the evidence that explains how physical separation of two populations of a species can cause speciation. What effect do

Tom [10]

Answer:

Interruption in the genetic flow between separated groups

The emergence of new mutations in each of the groups, and their accumulation in time. Slow and gradual differentiation between populations.
Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation
Prezigotic isolation mechanisms

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background that can give place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flux, as the two new groups that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps that affect organisms:

The emergence of the barrier.
Interruption in the genetic interchange
The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.
Prezigotic isolation mechanisms will be favored by selection if occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

How are mammalian sperm cells produced and incubated at a lower temperature than boday temperature ?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:by being produced in the testes outside the body

Explanation: spermatogenesis is the production of male gamates,the sperm.this process occurs in the seminiferous tubules in the testes.epithelial cells produces the primary spermatocyte which divides to give a secondary spermatocyte.

The secondary spermatocyte divides to form spermatids,which differentiates to form the spermatozoons.

Testis is housed in the scrotal sac.

Sperm production is sensitive to temperature. Too high temperature can cause formation of abnormal cells . As a result the scrotal sac is located outside the body
