Answer:

are reproductively isolated

Explanation:

The genetic drift represents a change in the frequency of an already existing gene variant in a population as a consequence of random sampling of organisms. The offspring would have the genes from their parents, and because the population is limited in numbers and it has been exposed to a new environment, the individuals with advantageous traits will survive and reproduce, while the others will die out gradually. This occurs when a small population of some species is reproductively isolated. The genetic variation is very small because of the small number of individuals, so only certain genes are passed on tot he offspring, thus resulting in gradual changes that will eventually lead to the creation of a separate species.

What are the three types of cell signaling

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

there are 4: paracrine signaling, autocrine signaling, endocrine signaling, and synaptic signaling

Explanation:

paracrine:cells that are near one another communicate through the release of chemical messengers

autocrine: a cell signals to itself, releasing a ligand that binds to receptors on its own surface

endocrine:When cells need to transmit signals over long distances, they often use the circulatory system as a distribution network for the messages they send.

synaptic: nerve cells transmit signals. The junction between two nerve cells where signal transmission occurs.

Which abiotic factor has the least effect on the ability of aerobic organisms to live and reproduce in a cave?

inn [45]

The abiotic factor with the least effect is SHAPE OF ROCK IN THE CAVE. The shape of rock in the cave does not impart any influence whatsoever under the survival of the organisms that are living inside the cave. Abiotic factors that have effects in this case include: amount of energy in the cave, amount of oxygen in the cave and the availability of moisture. These are the things the organisms need to survive.
