A population of animals is split in half by a river. Before speciation is completed, the two halves are rejoined when a drought

causes the river to run dry. How would this impact the two populations?
A. Traits that had developed through mutation would still exist in only one of the halves
B. Speciation would still occur because the two halves would be too different genetically to interbreed
C. The two halves would be reproductively isolated
D. Gene flow would increase between the two halves, and speciation would not occur

Answer: D. Gene flow would increase between the two halves, and speciation would not occur

Explanation:

Speciation is a phenomena of evolution of a new species from the existing parent species. This occurs when the population of the species gets separated due to geographical barrier, behavioral and due to temporal isolation (having distinct mating seasons). The members of the separated populations may undergo with genetic variations and mutations which may likely to produce a new species.

According to the given situation, if the split halves rejoined then speciation would not occur because speciation requires time for genetic variations and mutations to occur. As, a result of rejoining of the two halves the gene flow will occur due to inbreeding and speciation would not occur.

The main function of this macromolecule include muscle development, catalyst activity and defense against disease
Liula [17]

The correct answer is protein.

Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acids with the wide range of structures. Protein functions are diverse:  

• structural proteins-maintaining the cell shape, (for example, proteins are structural elements in connective tissues like cartilage and bone in vertebrates),  

• Enzymes - catalyze the biochemical reactions in cells-.

•  Monitors- changing their activity in response to metabolic signals

• Part of the extracellular matrix or involved in intercellular communication…

What happens to the body when cirrhosis develops?
umka21 [38]
Cirrhosis of the liver is a disease that effects the function of the liver. the liver has a function to clean out and detoxify the body. If at that point the liver cannot clean out the toxins you either have dialysis to help clean out the toxins in the liver. it causes the kidneys not to function correctly and you may need a kidney transplant.

Connect the importance between meiosis and the process of sexual reproduction. Is it possible to survive without your reproducti
Aleksandr [31]
It must be known that there is an interdependent relationship between meiosis and sexual reproduction. During sexual reproduction, meiosis generates a genetic variation in the offspring because it randomly shuffles genes across chromosomes and then randomly segregates half of those chromosomes into each gametes. These two gametes or sex cells then fuse randomly to form a new organism. One of the key factors in evolutionary fitness and biological diversity is genetic variation. This can be made possible through reproductive cells undergoing meiosis since such process has specialized sex cells split and multiple after copulation.

To answer the question if is it possible for a human to survive without a reproductive system, the answer is yes.

Reproductive organs of both men and women are vital to create a child. But it must be noted that both can live without them. There are situations that sometimes necessitates the removal of such organs especially if he or she is inflicted with cancer or other diseases.
