The process where a specie develops and evolves into new many species is termed as speciation. Macroevolution explores the mechanism of speciation where organisms across biological populations evolve as distinct population.
There are many causes to speciation, a) geographic isolation, b) gene flow reduction, and c) reproductive isolation.
Answer:
3. Rocks erode and sediment is deposited.
4. No sediment is deposited over a long time.
Explanation:
An unconfomity is a break in stratigraphic record of a place usually as a result of non-deposition or erosion.
In a sequence of sedimentary rock strata some surfaces called unconformity surfaces gives clues about the depositional history of a particular place. During an unconfomity, there is usually no sediment deposition and when deposition resumes, the underlying rocks and the new ones will not share the same attribute especially by age. Unconformity can also be as a result of erosion of a sequence.
In the case of non- conformity, a sedimentary rock is deposited above an igneous or sedimentary rock. Option 5 is a simple example of an igneous intrusion called a sill. It is not unconformity.
Answer:
Explanation:
Natural selection is based on Darwin’s observation that individuals most likely to survive and reproduce are those with traits best suited to their current environment.
False, because a niche is how one animal uses its habitat- many animals use many different niches
