The Isthmus of Panama began to appear around 10 million years ago, and completely connected North and South America by 3 million

years ago, which divided the Caribbean and Pacific oceans. An original 15 snapping shrimp species are hypothesized to have become 30 different species after being split into separate populations by the Isthmus of Panama. What kind of speciation is most likely to have caused this increase in snapping shrimp species around the Isthmus of Panama?
A. Parapatric speciation

B. Temporal speciation

C. Sympatric speciation

D. Allopatric speciation

Answer:

D.  Since  the population  of new species  of snapping shrimp were formed by geographical barrier, This is Allopatric speciation.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation refers to emergence of new species  of organism which were separated from the original population by geographical isolation.

The selection pressure on the new habitat leads to changes in the physiology, morphology,and behavioural features of the new snapping shrimp  species. Thus a new species is formed.

Since the barrier  prevented the mixing or interbreeding between  the separated species  and the original species, if they were reintroduced they  refused to mate,thus leading to emergence of a new specie.

Thus the type of speciation due to  geographical isolation(Isthmus of Panama) leading  to emergence of two new species of snapping shrimps  is called Allopatric speciation.

8. Genetic engineering has directly increased productivity in which<br><br> U.S. industry?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Agriculture  

Explanation:

Genetic engineering can be defined as the use of genetic techniques aimed at modifying the genome of living organisms, thereby being used to develop Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). In the USA, genetic engineering methodologies have been used in agriculture to improve crop yields and reduce costs (for example, by reducing the need to use pesticides). Some of the most important genetic engineering techniques that nowadays are being used in agriculture research include biolistic transformation, <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated transformation, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, etc.

Answer:

The cells belong to the tissue level of organization

Explanation:

Living organisms are composed of four levels of organization; the cell, tissues, organs and organ systems.

The cell is the basic unit of life  and the smallest level of organization.

Tissues are group of cells with a common origin which work together to perform a similar function.

Organs are composed of different types of tissues and perform various complex functions. in the organism.

Organ systems are groups of organs that perform similar functions or which work together for a specific function.

A plant leaf is an organ which is made up of various tissues such as the dermal, vascular and ground tissues.

The dermal cells known as the epidermis belong to the tissue level of organization as they perform a similar function of protecting against mechanical injury and invasion by microorganisms

How does the increase in the predator population affect the environment? Connexus
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Increase

I cant remember the lesson number but if the number of predators increase it would make many animals that are there prey to become scarce in the area the predators are in wich would make many predators starve so in order to avoid they would have to move out across more land to find more food
