Answer:

Option D, Continents cannot cut through the ocean floor.

Explanation:

It was believed earlier that oceans were the land bridges that used to connect  different geologic plates of planet earth earlier, had now sank down and thus there exists no connection between the tectonic plates. Therefore,  without any link or connection, continents cannot cut through the ocean floor.

Also as per the Land Bridge Theory , there has been continuous shifting of dry land due to which identical land species on different continents were found.

Hence, option D is correct

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Red allele frequency will be highest in population II

Population III can undergo bottleneck effect

The frequency of the brown allele will  least likely be altered in the population I

Explanation:

Population I -

Total population - 670

Brown birds - 603

Red birds - 67

Population II

Total population - 100

Brown birds - 90

Red birds - 10

Population III

Total population - 30

Brown birds - 27

Red birds - 3

Frequency of red birds in population I

\frac{67}{670} = 0.1

Frequency of red birds in population II

\frac{10}{90} = 0.11

Frequency of red birds in population III

\frac{3}{30} = 0.1

Red allele frequency will be highest in population II and it will be equal to \sqrt{0.11} = 0.33 as compared to 0.31 in case of population I and III

Population III can undergo bottleneck effect because of smaller population size

The frequency of the brown allele will  least likely be altered in the population that has highest  brown individual , i.e population I
