Answer:
Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original populations.
Explanation:
The new species can be formed in one of the three ways that are allopatric, peripatric, and parapatric speciation.
The allopatric speciation gives rise to new species due to the geographical barriers present between them and the peripatric speciation occurs when a small population enters into a new habitat.
In the given question, species A is more closely related to species B as to species C. This could be due to the allopatric speciation or peripatric speciation but it would depend on the number of the individuals of the population that dispersed to a different elevation which provided a new niche.
Thus, the selected option is correct.
Answer:
Neither A nor B is correct
Explanation:
Hydrologic cycle is the sequence of different conditions through which the water passes from oceans to clouds, precipitates as rains, comes to the rivers and finally reaches the ocean.
This first statement in the question said that water will end up in the river which is not true because water from the river ultimately ends in the oceans because all the rivers terminate in the oceans finally.
The second statement is also wrong because when water from one ocean vaporizes and becomes cloud, it can travel large distances as clouds in the effect of wind and thus may get precipitated in the form of rain in some other part of the world. So, it is not necessary that the water will end up in the same ocean.
Answer:
They are abundant and affordable
Answer is B) 1, 3, 2
Fish with craniums naturally preceded the evolution of sharks, since sharks have craniums. Sharks must have evolved from a cranium-wielding ancestor.
Sharks evolved about 450 million years ago, before land vertebrates (animals with spines and skeletal systems) even existed. Mammals evolved about 100 million years later.
