Answer:
The statement is false.
Explanation:
I actually had this question on a test, and I got it wrong when I put true.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The simple answer is the electrons in the outermost energy level.
Hydrogen has 1 electron in the outermost energy level.
Magnesium has 2 so this tells you that magnesium has a charge of 2
Oxygen has 6 oxygen has a charge of - 2
Fluorine has 7
For most elements, the electrons in the most outer ring determine the valence of the element.
Notice that the non metals work differently than the metals. Mg may have a charge of 2 and that is the number of electrons in the valence right.
Oxygen is a non metal it has a charge of - 2. It gets 6 electrons by subtracting the number of its charge from 8.
It would be best to ask a professional on the subject.
Answer:
Chromosomes must still be copied.
the cell must double in size.
the nuclear DNA must double.
Explanation:
Answer:
This is correct. The remaining portion:
Sympatric species that form interrelationships undergo coevolution.
Allopatric species in different environments can undergo convergent evolution.
Allopatric species in small populations and under intense environmental conditions can undergo genetic drift.
Explanation:
On the basis of geographical distance, speciation is of two major types:
- Sympatric
- Allopatric
Sympatric Speciation:
Sympatric speciation is the formation of new species with no gergraphical separation from the ancestor. The new and parent species both exist in the same environment but do not interbreed due to mechanisms of reproductive isolation. These involves both prezygotic and post zygotic barriers to reproduction such as timing of mating, sensitivity to pheromones, choice of mating sites or infertility and mismatched gametes. Species formed through sympatric speciation can form interrelationships and undergo coevolution i.e. the evolution of ones species is dependent on the other.
Allopatric Speciation:
It involves the geographical separation of the parent and new species. These species could be geographically separated by a river, mountain range or land mass.
Although, allopatric species evolve independently, they may develop similar characteristics that serve different functions. Allopatric species in radically different environments undergo convergent evolution i.e. species evolve similar characteristics without any ancestral homology.
Allopatric species that reside in small populations and are under harsh environmental pressures undergo a rapid genetic revolution i.e. genetic drift. This includes the Founder's and bottleneck effect that involve the continuation of a species from very few individuals after a drastic, sudden environmental change.
