Genetic data suggests many frog species that live in Madagascar and India share a common ancestor that lived on the India-Madaga
scar landmass. Which statement best describes the divergence of frog species found in India and Madagascar? a) breeding preferences of the frogs prevented interbreeding between frogs, resulting in new speciesb) geographic separation led to divergence in the gene pool, resulting in new speciesc) the frog species occupied different habitats within the same geographic areas, resulting in new speciesd) different mating seasons led to the divergence of the gene pool, resulting in new species
Genetic data suggests many frog species that live in Madagascar and India share a common ancestor that lived on the India-Madagascar landmass is best described by
(b)Geographic separation led to divergence in the gene pool, resulting in a new species
Explanation:
The island's geography, geology, and climate have provided opportunities for species to evolve and diversify in isolation. Its species are a mix of those that have been living and evolving there for many tens of millions of years and those that arrived more recently and subsequently diversified.
Some of Madagascar's present species are there because they "rode there" on the continents and were left on the island when it separated from India.
Most probably it would die. Or would be harder for it to live.
Explanation:
On daily basis, as most of the cells die and new cells are formed by cell division. If an organism lost the ability to perform cell division it would die.
A gene pool is all of the genes present in a particular population. Each type of gene within a gene pool may exist in one or more alleles. The prevalence of an allele within the gene pool is described by its allele frequency. ... If it is polymorphic, each allele has a frequency that is between 1 and 99%.
