Identical population-splitting events occurred simultaneously on two neighboring islands, Islands B and C, which are each initia

lly home to different populations of rodent. The population-splitting event produced two subpopulations of rodent on each island: B1 and B2, and C1 and C2. We find that populations B1 and B2 cannot successfully interbreed with each other after 50,000 years, and that C1 and C2 can still interbreed after 100,000 years. Why does reproductive isolation arrive at different rates on these two islands

Answer:

This is due to the event of Speciation that happened for the rodents in Island B but not for the rodents in Island C.

Explanation:

  • Due to splitting of the population,
  • The sub-population of rodents formed in Island B are B1 and B2.
  • The sub-population of rodents formed in Island C are C1 and C2.
  • In case of Island B, each of the B1 and B2 sub-populations that got split from each other developed certain mutations that were necessary for them to adapt to the particular diverse environment each of them were exposed to, through the period of 50,000 years. These mutations were so varied that reproductive isolation was generated between them that resulted in each of them to develop into different species.Hence, speciation happens here and B1 and B2 are incapable of inter-breeding.
  • In case of Island C, each of the C1 and C2 sub-populations that got split might have got exposed to similar environmental change or no environmental change or the environmental change might have been too small to cause drastic change in each of the sub-populations. As a result of this the two sub-populations might have acquired certain mutations to adapt to the environment each of them were exposed to, through a period of 100,000 years. These mutations might not have been too variable or contrasting to cause reproductive isolation between C1 and C2. Hence, no new speciation happens here and C1 and C2 are capable of inter-breeding.

Ed was in a bicycle accident, he had no sensations in his injured leg. He can move the limb normally. Based on the functional cl
____ [38]
There are two types of neurons in our legs: motor neuron and sensory neuron. These send and receive messages to and from each other and the brain.  

After Ed's accident, he can't move his injured leg since the motor neuron is dysfunctional. The sensory neuron is functional so he can feel his limbs but can't move them since when the sensory neuron sends a message to the motor neuron, it isn't able to deliver the message to the brain to make the leg move. This is why he can still feel his limbs but is not able to move them.

What effect would there be on the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers failed to pull a chromosome toward the pole, as in c
allochka39001 [22]

Aneuploidy can result in the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers fail to pull a chromosome toward the pole as in case of non-disjunction.  

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is a condition which arises when one or more chromosome is missing in the final daughter cells.

Non-disjunction refers to the failure of chromosomal or chromatid segregation or separation during cell division. This results in erroneous meiosis or mitosis leading to the formation of final daughter cells or gametes with an extra or missing chromosome. This condition is aneuploidy.  

Failure of separation or segregation of:

  • Homologous chromosomes occur in Anaphase I, affects four daughter cells.
  • Sister chromatids during Anaphase II, affects two daughter cells

This failure of separation leads to aneuploidy chromosomal abnormalities like monosomy, trisomy, etc which can cause diseases like Down’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome etc.

SORRY ITS SICIENCE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO PUT
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

D. climax communities

Explanation:

The climax communities are the communities that have reached equilibrium. This basically means that there's the optimal number of species of flora and fauna, as well as the optimal populations of them in the ecosystem. They all interact and are perfectly adapted to coexist, benefit from one another, and balance the usage of food sources with its renewing. This type of communities appear at places where there has been no disturbances for quite some time, so the species lving there managed to create a perfect balance.
