1. Would separated populations of squirrels be able to interbreed if

Biology
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

No, they could not interbreed.

Explanation:

When a group of squirrels separate from each other and develop its unique characteristics, this is known as <em><u>speciation</u></em>. One type of speciation is <em><u>allopatic speciation </u></em>in which one squirrel's species separate into two separate groups and isolated from each other because of the physical barrier. This physical barrier can be a mountain range or waterway and makes it <u>impossible to breed with one another</u>. Each squirrels species develop unique genetic characteristics due to change in habitat  and genetic variations are transferred to their offspring.

Whats the relationship between DNA,chromosomes,and genes?
Elina [12.6K]
DNA is a chain of nucleotides bonded together.  On that chain there are particular portions of it that the sequence of the nucleotide codes for particular proteins; this is known as a gene.  In eukaryotric cells, DNA is coiled around proteins such as histones to form chromatids which when two join at the centre by a centromere to form a chromosome.

Describe the effects of the increase in temperature over the past 100 years.
Bezzdna [24]

Global surface temperature has been measured since 1880 at a network of ground-based and ocean-based sites. Over the last century, the average surface temperature of the Earth has increased by about 1.0o F. The eleven warmest years this century have all occurred since 1980, with 1995 the warmest on record. The higher latitudes have warmed more than the equatorial regions.

Beginning in 1979, satellites have been used to measure the temperature of the atmosphere up to a height of 30,000 feet. The long-term surface record and the recent satellite observations differ, but that fact is not surprising: the two techniques measure the temperature of different parts of the Earth system (the surface, and various layers of the atmosphere). In addition to this, a variety of factors, such as the presence of airborne materials from the 1991 eruption of the volcano Mt. Pinatubo, affect each record in a different way. Satellite observations were initially interpreted as showing a slight cooling, but more recent analyses accounting for natural, short-term fluctuations imply warming, just as the ground-based measurements have indicated over a longer time period. As more data from the satellite record become available, and as the quality of measurements is improved, comparison of these two records should yield additional insights.

A warmer Earth speeds up the global water cycle: the exchange of water among the oceans, atmosphere, and land. Higher temperatures cause more evaporation, and soils will tend to dry out faster. Increased amounts of water in the atmosphere will mean more rain or snow overall. We may be seeing the first signs of changes in the water cycle. Since the beginning of the century, precipitation in the United States has increased by about 6 percent, while the frequency of intense precipitation events (heavy downpours of more than two inches per day) has increased by 20 percent. Such events can cause flooding, soil erosion, and even loss of life. In some midcontinent areas, increased evaporation has led to drought because the heavy rains fell elsewhere.

There is also evidence that ecosystems are reacting to warming. Between 1981 and 1991, the length of the growing season in the northern high latitudes (between 45oand 70o N) increased by a total of up to twelve days, as documented by satellite imagery. Greening in spring and summer occurred up to eight days earlier, and vegetation continued to photosynthesize an estimated four days longer.

Global mean sea level has risen 4 to 10 inches over the last 100 years, mainly because water expands when heated. The melting of glaciers, which has occurred worldwide over the last century, also contributes to the rise. Formerly frozen soils (permafrost) in the Alaskan and Siberian arctic have also begun to melt, damaging both ecosystems and infrastructure. Melting and tundra warming will also lead to decay of organic matter and the release of trapped carbon and methane, creating an additional source of greenhouse gases.

What might two controlled variables (constants) Lisa would use for this experiment? ​
zhuklara [117]

There is no context so I will just explain what a constant is:

In an experiment following the scientific method, a constant is a variable that cannot be changed or is purposely not changed during the experiment.

An example would be:

If a researcher wanted to study the effects of temperature on the growth and development of garden snakes, the experimental variable for the experiment would be temperature. All other variables would need to remain consistent to avoid invalid data. The size of the cage, amount of light, food and many other variables would need to remain constant to ensure accurate results and a valid study. Those variables are constants. Some variables are not under a scientist's control, but are still considered to be constants. These constants are called universal constants and include gravity, the speed of light and electronic charge. Universal constants do affect experiments but will be constant through an experiment without being controlled by the scientist.
