Beetle pollinators of a particular plant are attracted to its flowers' bright orange color. The beetles not only pollinate the f

lowers but mate while inside of the flowers. A mutant version of the plant with red flowers becomes more common with the passage of time. A particular variant of the beetle prefers the red flowers to the orange flowers. Over time, these two beetle variants diverge from each other to such an extent that interbreeding is no longer possible. What kind of speciation has occurred in this example, and what has driven it?
A. Allopatric speciation, ecological isolation.
B. Sympatric speciation, habitat differentiation.
C. Allopatric speciation, behavioral isolation.
D. Sympatric speciation, sexual selection.
E. Sympatric speciation, allopolyploidy.

Answer:

B. Sympatric speciation, habitat differentiation.

Explanation:

The right answer to our question is B, Sympatric speciation, habitat differentiation.

Edward Bagnall Poulton derived the term sympatric speciation in 1904. It is a mode of speciation, which entails new species emerging from an ancestral species that is still alive and extant. Both the emerging and ancestral species will exist in the same zone.

This speciation is found more in plants. There are different types of these speciations. Habitat differentiation is seen within sympatric speciation. It is found when mutations that exist in the same zone can make use of varying conditions. Allopatric speciation and parapatric speciation are the other types of speciation.

The body makes its own supply of this lipid, which has a ring structure and is part of every cell membrane.
aksik [14]

If the statement is asking whether it is true or false, the answer is true. The body can make its own lipid because of the food that we eat and also because it is found in the body where it is located in the tissues and the cells. It does compose of ring structure as it has multiple rings which are considered essential and the lipids are considered to be a part of a cell membrane.

What are the features of Oligonucleotide Therapies Discovery?
NikAS [45]

Explanation:

For antisense gene therapy, chemically engineered oligonucleotides complementary to specific mRNA are inserted into the cells which stop the translation of the specific protein. Similarly, the antisense drug contains the vital molecule—“the noncoding mRNA”—which blocks the translation of a specific protein.

To what extent can very large earthquakes be predicted
Bas_tet [7]

Scientists have tried lots of different ways of predicting earthquakes, but none have been successful. They<span> haven't been able to find a signal for earthquakes( there is no obvious sign to say that an earthquake is coming very soon).</span> They do have a pretty good idea of where an earthquake is most likely to hit, but they still can't predict exactly when it will happen.

However, the probability of a future earthquake can be calculated, based on scientific data. Scientists estimate that the probability of a major earthquake occurring in the San Francisco Bay area over the next 30 years is 67%.

State and explain the disadvantages of using chemicals to kill insects
zheka24 [161]
If you use chemicals to kill insects, you could risk getting the chemicals in unwanted areas. This could kill plants, animals, and other living things. You could also contaminate water if the chemicals get rinsed/drained into a water source.
