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 will a organism be benefited if it reproduces through spores
exis [7]

Answer:

Spore can survive under unfavorable conditions as they are covered by a hard protective coat. Spores can grow to produce new plants and does not require sexual interaction with another organism. Due to their small size and light weight, they can be dispersed easily.

Spores can remain dormant till favourable conditions become available. b. Spores help an organism to tide over the bad phase. Spores can be spread through water, air or animals and thus is good for the spread of an organism to more places.

Explanation: hope this helps bro! (:

Which of the following shows an unsaturated fatty Acid? Out of those two
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

None of these two

Explanation:

An unsaturated fatty acid must contain a double bond in the poly carbon chain other than the double bond in the functional group. In these two, images there exists a double bond in the carboxylic group i.e –COOH.  

Since none of them have double bond in long poly carbon chain, therefore these two fatty acids cannot  be considered as unsaturated fatty acid.

What is the significance of light-dependent reaction products for the production of glucose?
Yuliya22 [10]

Explanation:

The endergonic (def) light-independent reactions of photosynthesis use the ATP and NADPH synthesized during the exergonic (def) light-dependent reactions to provide the energy for the synthesis of glucose and other organic molecules (def) from inorganic carbon dioxide and water.
