Organisms that originated in a certain geographic region and can only be found in that region are said to be endemic.
Explanation:
Endemic organisms are taxonomic species (plants and animals) which originates and distributed only in specific geographic regions. This state of evolution is called endemism.
They are said to be native or indigenous to that particular region which can be an ecological habitat, an entire nation, an island, a mountain range etc. Certain parts are known for majority of their species being endemic like St. Helen Island, New Caledonia Island, Hawaiian Islands, Southern regions of Africa, and Australia.
The species becomes endemic to a particular region because of the presence of certain bio-geographical environmental qualities of that habitat which are favorable to that species.
When these conditions become unfavorable, then species becomes restricted leading to endangerment or extinction of the species.
Examples:
- Kangaroo - Australia
- Nilgiri Tahr, - Nilgiri Hills, India
- The Redwood trees of West Coast of the USA
- Plants like kalo, sumac of Hawaii
Answer:
Demography is the statistical study of human populations. Demography examines the size, structure, and movements of populations over space and time. It uses methods from history, economics, anthropology, sociology, and other fields.
Answer :
B
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, in small structures called chloroplasts. ... In cellular respiration, the energy stored in the bonds of the glucose molecule is broken down and transformed to another type of energy
Answer:
Option (B).
Explanation:
The relationship between closely related species can be studied by their evolutionary tree. The two species are closely related if they have similar characteristics and nucleotide sequence.
Species A has the DNA sequence TAGCTTAGGGACGG whereas species B has the DNA sequence TACCTTAGGGACGG. These two species have identical nucleotide sequence with minor differences. Hence, these two species are closely related with each other.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
