Why is it likely that MOST speciation is allopatric?

Biology
1 answer:
LenKa [72]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

e. Because gene flow between populations prevents genetic divergence in sympatry.

Explanation:

Speciation requires genetic divergence between populations of a species to isolate them reproductively. however, when present in the same habitat, gene flow between populations of a species does not allow their reproductive isolation and thereby, prevents the formation of new species. These populations need strong episodes of disruptive selection for their reproductive isolation.  

On the other hand, two geographically isolated populations can not interbreed and thus, there is no gene flow between them leading to their genetic divergence and speciation. So, allopatric speciation is more common than sympatric one.

Delicious77 [7]

The answer would be:

B. Sequence of the bases in DNA molecules.

Here is more about your questions:

DNA contain the instructions of the traits of an organism. Most of the organism have the same DNA but what makes each different is the sequence of the DNA. The sequence gives the instructions for the production of amino acid that will produce, which in turn determines what traits will be passed on or manifested by that individual.

Darwin studied actual birds on the Galapagos Islands instead of using a simulation, as you did in this lab. Studying natural sel
Elza [17]
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.

active transport and facilitated diffusion are two types of cellular transport which statement is true of both
Dovator [93]

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is both involve proteins in the cell membrane.

Explanation:

This is because Facilitated diffusion does not require any energy to transport molecules, while Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). Active transport moves molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). Answer choice A is the only choice that makes sense.

Hope this helps,
