The fish Astyanax mexicanus has populations in surface lakes and in caves. Cave populations lose their eyes through degeneration

and are unpigmented, while surface populations have normal eyes and pigment. The two groups can form hybrids when mated in the laboratory, but rarely interact in the wild. This is an example of a species currently undergoing hybridization.
A: hybridization.
B: immigration.

Answer:

Option C. allopatric speciation.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation is a takes place when a population is isolated geographically for example as they are in wild, the fish astyanax mexicanus's two distinguished population of cave and lakes mate rarely. In laboratory they are capable of mating and form hybrid as mentioned in question.

It is occurs in same species due to geographic isolation that prevent the interference in the gene flow of one population to other.

Thus, the correct answer is: option C.

Answer:

D. In an ocean heated by volcanic activity

Explanation:

Most of Earth was covered in water, early organisms weren't evolved enough to walk on land at the time. There are some organisms that feed off of volcanic activity and use it as an energy resource and would adapt to the heat.

<em>"Hot spots create volcanoes on the seafloor. If these volcanoes rise above sea level to become islands, and if they occur in tropical waters, coral reefs will form on them. Since the volcanoes are cones, the reef forms in a circle around the volcano."</em>

<em>-</em><u>https://courses.lumenlearning.com/earthscience/chapter/ocean-organisms/</u>

<em>"Discovered only in 1977, hydrothermal vents are home to dozens of previously unknown species. Huge red-tipped tube worms, ghostly fish, strange shrimp with eyes on their backs and other unique species thrive in these extreme deep ocean ecosystems found near undersea volcanic chains."</em>

What happens to an animal cell in a hypertonic solution?
jarptica [38.1K]

<span>The answer is that cell will shrink.</span>

<span>If you put an animal cell in a hypertonic solution means that concentration of the solutes is greater outside the cell, in the solution, than in the cell. Consequently,</span> the water concentration of the cell's cytoplasm is higher than that of the hypertonic solution. Since the aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the cell, the water will exit the cell. The cell will lose water and, consequently, will shrink in size.
