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.
C: allopatric speciation.
D: sympatric speciation.

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.

2. If a nucleus has 8 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be present after Telophase I? 3. What advantage does crossing-over
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Telophase I: 8 chromosomes composed of two sister chromatids  

Crossing over refers to the mechanism of recombination, this process being characterized in that increases the genetic variation

Spermatogenesis refers to the mechanism of formation of male gametes (sperms), while oogenesis is the process of formation of female gametes (oocytes)

Explanation:

Telophase I is the final step in meiosis I. During telophase I, the nuclear membrane is formed around the decondensed set of chromosomes and the nucleoli reappear.  

Spermatogenesis refers to the process by which haploid male germ cells (sperms) are generated within the seminiferous tubules in the testis, while oogenesis refers to the process of differentiation of the female egg cells (ova or oocytes) in the ovaries. Spermatogenesis is known to produce small and motile spermatic cells, while oogenesis is known to produce bigger non-motile oocytes.

As an environment changes, and some organisms have a higher fitness than other, natural selection acts directly on
olga2289 [7]
Natural selection acts directly on those gene variations for traits or phenotypes.
The phenotype of an organism is the physical characteristic and is determined by the organism's genotype. Natural selection selects the genes that produce a certain phenotype by providing suitable conditions for a certain phenotype.

The effect of cell size on material transport
4vir4ik [10]
The greater the surface area of a cell, the faster the cell can transport materials across its membrane because there is more area to absorb/excrete materials. We also want the surface area much higher than the volume of a cell. the more volume a cell has the slower the transport of diffusion will be. If the cell is smaller because it has a higher surface area than it does volume. Because of this larger SA:V ratio, smaller cells will transport materials faster.

What is population density? answers are A. the number of organisms of a species
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Option C.

Population density is the total number of organisms within a fixed area.

Explanation:

Population density is the total number of organisms per unit area. Population density is calculated by dividing the number of organisms by the unit area either in square kilometers, squaremeters, square miles.

Population density =number of organisms ÷ unit of land area.
