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.

Identify the limitations of the carbon model(s) in accounting for all of<br> Earth's carbon.
Mariana [72]

The carbon model is the flow and the movement of the carbon and its compound in the atmosphere. Climate change is the limitation of the carbon model.

<h3>What is climate change?</h3>

A climate change is a variation in the weather and the climate pattern due to a change in temperature and other atmospheric factors. It will lead to a transformation in the flow of carbon in the environment.

Increased carbon in surroundings increases temperature and results in a change in seasons and humidity levels, leading to changes in the rainfall.

Therefore, climate change is the limitation of the carbon model.

When comparing a cell just before the first meiotic division with another cell of the same organism that is ready to start mitos
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

III. Equal number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Comparison between two cells, one cell just before first meiotic division and other cell ready to start mitosis is that both the cells have equal number of chromosomes.

Both the cells have an equal number of chromosomes that is 2n (diploid),  where n is 23 and total chromosomes are 46 in each cell but at the meiosis at the end meiosis produces four haploid (n) daughter cells and mitosis produces two diploid (2n) cells.

Hence, the correct answer is "III. Equal number of chromosomes.".
