Species a diverged from species b 60,000 years ago. On a particular gene, they have 15 nucleotide differences. How many nucleoti

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.

We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.

The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 1 year =\frac{15}{60,000}  nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = \frac{15}{60,000}\times 300,000 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.

Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.

In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.

What is product of meiosis 1
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

haploid daughter cells

Explanation:

Meiosis involves two divisions of the parent cell resulting in four daughter cells. Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiosis I, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half thus called reduction division. The product of meiosis I is two diploid daughter cells.

Why were the Smith and Cuvier discoveries that similar groups of fossils in distant rock layers could be correlated such a major
tamaranim1 [39]
This was a major breakthrough in geology because it meant that sedimentary strata in diverse parts of a country or area could be correlated as belonging to the same formation which means they were formed at the same time historically so helped to put them in the correct sequence. If these strata contained valuable minerals like coal then it could aid in the search for coal. This helped William 'Strata' Smith in England to create his first geological map in the world of a whole country.

║PLEASE ANSWER ASAP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!║
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

For specification to occur, two new populations must be formed from one original population, and they must evolve in such a way that it becomes impossible for individuals from the two new populations to interbreed.

idk if this helps but i tried lol and no need for brainliest
