Answer:

geographical isolation

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation is a process of evolution that ensures that members of different species are incapable of mating and when they do, such mating do not result into any offspring or leads to the production of invalid offspring.

There are two mechanisms of reproductive isolation:

  • Pre-zygotic mechanisms prevents fertilization between two different species and these include habitat isolation, mating seasons, mechanical isolation, gamete isolation,  geographical isolation and behavioral isolation.
  • Post-zygotic isolation prevents the products of fertilization from becoming valid and this include hybrid inviability, hybrid sterility and hybrid breakdown.

<em>Geographical isolation involves the existence of geographical barriers between two populations such that there cannot be mating between the two. The two populations eventually evolve to become different species.</em>

How does convention occur in the troposphere
Zarrin [17]

Convection causes heating in troposphere because it drops in temperature with altitude, but has a relatively high density of air. The stratosphere has no weather because convection cannot happen because the air gets hotter in this layer as you go up in altitude.

What are the major types of mountains?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>Folded, fault block, volcanic.</u>

Explanation:

<u>The main types of mountains are</u>: Folded, fault block, volcanic and upwarped.

Folded mountains. These types of mountains tend to change constantly depending on their complexity, however they always conform to the basic type.

Volcanic mountains. It is about the mountains that come to form when a volcano erupts.

Domes. These mountains are created by domed strata, as a granitic intrusion is generated.

Mountains in block. These are large-scale structural failures. These inside are usually folded and tend to have failures.

Plateau mountains. These are created when there is activity in the deepest of the earth's crust. They are formed with the deep channels that the current water produces, where the rivers can cut any table regardless of their depth, thus producing high-rise mountains.

<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>Folded, fault block, volcanic.</u>

Imagine a population of rabbits with fur color that ranges from black to white. If this population were put in an area that has
baherus [9]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "the population size of gray rabbits would decrease".

It can be explained with the help of disruptive selection.

It is the selection in which extreme phenotypes are chosen or favored over the intermediate values.

For example, here the extreme phenotypes (white and black fur) provide the survival advantage due to camouflage and thus are selected over the intermediate fur color, that is, brown fur.

Thus, the number of brown rabbits would decrease in number.
