Lake Baikal is the oldest and deepest lake in the world. It is found in the middle of Siberia. In Lake Baikal there are 32 speci

es of sculpin (a type of fish). All of these species are only found in Lake Baikal. You want to understand the evolutionary history of this group of fish and how speciation occurred for sculpin in Lake Baikal. A. What mechanism of speciation do you think has occurred in Lake Baikal sculpin. Provide your answer in the form of a hypothesis. (2 points) B. What are TWO types of additional information you would want to gather in order to test your hypothesis from A? (5 points)

Answer:

The. Two populations of sculpin lived on Lake Baikal, but a genetic change in one of the populations prevented them from crossing, thus creating a new species of sculpin.

B. The additional information I would use to test the hypotheses would be: 1) is there any species of fish similar to sculpin in the same lake? 2) what is the genetic change presented by the sculpins?

Explanation:

My hypothesis about sculpin fish states that sympathetic speciation has occurred. This speciation occurs when two populations of the same species can no longer promote crossings between them, thus creating an evolutionary process, which results in the creation of two distinct species, in the same habitat. I believe that this type of speciation is more common to happen in aquatic environments and in fish, since these environments present less physical barriers than the terrestrial environment. This usually occurs with the existence of genetic modifications within one of the populations. As a result, to test my hypothesis, I would need information about the existence of species similar to sculpin within the same lake, in addition to knowing what genetic differences between them would promote this type of speciation.

The family camelids includes camels and llamas. Do all the living members of the family form a clase? Explain?
Harrizon [31]

Camelids are members of the biological family Camelidae, the only currently living family in the suborder Tylopoda. The 7 extant members of this group are: dromedary camels, Bactrian camels, wild Bactrian camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos. Camelids are even-toed ungulates classified in the order Cetartiodactyla, along with species like whales, pigs, deer, cattle, and antelopes.

Which of the following environments would not contain fossils
juin [17]

Answer:

as I know

Explanation:

<em>Igneous rocks, which form from cooling magma or lava, and metamorphic rocks, which have been altered by heat and pressure, are unlikely to contain fossils. The “soft” tissues of an organism, such as skin, muscles, and internal organs are typically not preserved as fossils.</em>

What is the probability that the offspring will have purple flowers?; What is the phenotypic ratio for the purple flowers?; What
Luda [366]

The probability that the offspring will have purple flowers is 50% chance Let's go ahead and assume that:

The allele A corresponds to the color of flowers.

As a result, A would stand in for the alternate white hue and represent the dominating purple color.

According to the aforementioned hypotheses, a white flower would have the genotype aa while a heterozygous purple blossom would have the genotype Aa.

Now let's connect the two flowers:

Aa x aa

Aa Aa aa aa

The genotypes, phenotypes, and odds of the offspring would be as follows based on the cross's outcomes:

Purple color, Aa; 1/2

white flower color, aa, 1/2

In other words, there is a 50% chance that the cross will result in offspring with the flower colors purple (genotype, Aa) and white (genotype, aa).
