A female fly, full of fertilized eggs, is swept by high winds to an island far out to sea. She is the first fly to arrive on thi

s island, and the only fly to arrive in this way. Thousands of years later, her numerous offspring occupy the island, but none of them resembles her. There are, instead, several species each of which eats only a certain type of food. None of the species can fly, for their flight wings are absent, and their balancing organs (i.e., halteres) are now used in courtship displays. The male members of each species bear modified halteres that are unique in appearance to their species. Females bear vestigial halteres. The ranges of all of the daughter species overlap.If these fly species lost the ability to fly independently of each other as a result of separate mutation events in each lineage, then the flightless condition in these species could be an example ofA) adaptive radiation. B) species selection.C) sexual selection. D) allometric growth.E) habitat differentiation.

The correct answer is: B) species selection.

Species selection is defined as an evolutionary process in which selection acts on an entire species population (not individuals). It can occur as a consequence of the geographical range of a population, which affects the whole population.

A group of organisms that belong to the same species and live in the same place
faltersainse [42]
This can be identified as a population. In a population, the organisms are the same species and they have to live in the same area. For example, the population of cities are the head count of the species of human in that one area.

scientists are studying two populations of the same species of sea turtle. one population is quite small with only 18 individual
Sati [7]
In the population with a large number of individuals, the mutation would only have a small impact, while a population with only 18 individuals would result in a very large i off as the mutation would be in a greater percentage of the population.

How might a single base substitution in the sequence of a gene affect the amino acid sequence of a protein encoded by the gene,
vovangra [49]
The effect differs. It could produce a different amino acid in the sequence because the corresponding codon has changed. It could also prevent the production of the originally intended sequence by changing one of the amino acids of a "start" codon (aka AUG) or extend the protein's sequence by modifying a "stop" codon (UAA, UAG, UGA or UGG), producing a new protein that might be useless or have different effects on the cell.
