Answer:

D. 4

Explanation:

The mentioned plant species is diploid and have 48 chromosomes. A diploid organism has two complete sets of chromosomes. This means that the diploid plant species have two complete sets of chromosomes. Mutation results in the formation of a diploid gamete having a total of 48 chromosomes (two complete sets of chromosomes). Self-fertilization of such mutated diploid gamete would produce a zygote with 48 (2 sets of chromosomes) + 48 (2 sets of chromosomes) = 96 chromosomes. Therefore, the resultant zygote would have a total of four sets of chromosomes.

Answer:

Mechanical Isolation

A snail with a flat disc-like shell

will not be able to mate with a

snail having a conical shell.

The reproductive organs of

male bush babies do not

match with the reproductive

organs of females of other

bush baby species

Behavioral Isolation

The mating call of a cricket is not

recognized by a cricket of other

species.

The signals sent by a male firefly

are not recognized by the female

firefly of other species.

Explanation:

Mechanical isolation occurs in the scenario where two organisms are willing to mate but cannot do so due to the physical challenges. As in the case of snail a flat disk and a conical disk snail are willing to mate but physical barriers restrict them in doing so.

The same case is with the male and female bush babies where the difference in reproductive organs does not allow them to mate.  

Behavioral isolation represents a scenario where two organisms are unaware of mating rituals, season, pattern or signals of each other and hence cannot mate.  

For example – male and female cricket do not recognize the mating call of each other. Likewise male and female firefly is also not able to understand each other’s mating signal.

Answer:

The correct option is D: Faults form because crust gets cracked when plates move apart along divergent plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Options A and B are incorrect because even though tectonic plates are constantly moving and crashing against each other at convergent plate boundaries, it is not responsible for causing an earthquake. Option C is also incorrect in the context of the question statement merely colliding does not result in an earthquake.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
