Answer:

The options

a. sympatric speciation; vicariance

b. allopatric speciation; vicariance

c. sympatric speciation; dispersal

d. allopatric speciation; dispersal

The CORRECT ANSWER IS d.

d. allopatric speciation; dispersal

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation takes place either via dispersal, when some members of a species shifts it's habitat to a separate geographical area which leads to differentiation of the initial group into separate diverse varieties or species(as in our case study).

Allopatric speciation through dispersal could results in multiple speciation leading to an individual original species producing diverse new species; this occurrence is called adaptive radiation.

In some scenario, a population of an individual species disperses all over a region with each locating a separate niche or isolated habitat. In the course of time, the diverse demands of their just formed lifestyles causes multiple speciation events that comes from a singular species.

In order for a fat molecule to be saturated, it must have what characteristic?
marin [14]
Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them. 
Schematically, they look like  -C-C-C-C-  ...

If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as  -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.

If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated.  It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.

Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures.  Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources.  However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.

Juliette [100K]
Answer: because of larva

Explanation: Larva. After three days, the egg hatches into a worm-like form called a larva. The worker bees feed the larva royal jelly for the first few days and then switch to honey and pollen. An exception to this is a future queen: this larva continues its diet of royal jelly.
