<h2>Chromosomal aberration.</h2>

Explanation:

Chromosomal aberrations:

d. are changes to the overall organization of genes on a chromosome.

Chromosomal aberrations are of four types-

  • Deletion- If a segment pf DNA is lost then it results in alteration of gene sequence. This is called deletion. deletion may occur at terminal ends or interstitial regions.. Deletions are usually lethal.
  • Duplication- If a segment of DNA is present in multiple copies with a genome then the aberration is termed as duplication. Duplications may result in specific phenotypes.
  • Inversions - If two breaks occur in one chromosome and region between the breaks is inverted 180 degrees before rejoining two end fragments then the aberration is termed as inversions. Inversions do not bring about changes in genetic material and often do not show any abnormalities.
  • Translocation- When two non-homologous chromosomes exchange their segments then the aberration is termed as translocation.

Which factor most likely caused animals and plants in India to differ greatly from species in nearby southeast Asia?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

India was a separate continent until 45 million years ago

Explanation:

India was part of the Gondwanaland continent which was one of the two remnants of Pangaea, while Asia was part of Laurasia, the other remnant of Pangaea. Because these two land masses were separate, the animals and plants were evolving separately for millions of years. India further separated from Gondwanaland, and it was actually a very large island for millions of years, resulting in isolation and development of unique animals and plants because of it. As India was moving it reached Asia and collided with it, thus becoming one land mass. Some Asian species managed to get in India, but mostly in its northern parts, while the central and southern parts remained dominated by the indigenous species. The Himalayan Mountain Range that formed because of the collision also helped in preserving lot of the indigenous species as it became a natural barrier that most species can not go through.
