Species evolve independently possibly due to geographical isolations or behavioural isolations.
Geographical isolation includes the isolation of 2 groups of the same species. Since these 2 groups live in different locations, (e.g. a volcanic eruption resulting in a barrier between one side of an ocean and another side of the ocean), they will have different selection pressures in their different environments as well (e.g. one side of the ocean may have more sunlight and thus more underwater plantations than the other side of the ocean). Natural selection will eliminate those with disadvantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes that only eat plants and nothing else on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with unfavourable alleles, and select for those with advantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes are able to eat plants and other organic substances as well on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with favourable alleles.
Since the 2 groups have different selection pressures, natural selection will occur in different ways, selecting for and against different types of fishes with different types of alleles. Also, because of the barrier, they are not able to mate with each other, and there are no mixing of genes from one side of the ocean and the other side. They are genetically isolated. As genetic drift occurs over time, their gene pools become different from each other. Thus, they evolve independently.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
D.) saprophytic
Explanation:
Saprophytic fungi break down dead matter by releasing enzymes. This allows for the matter to be taken up by the fungi as a food source.
Answer:
Thymine
Explanation:
Nitrogen base found in DNA not RNA

Prophase I
The chromosomes condense, and the nuclear envelope breaks down & crossing-over occurs.
Metaphase I
Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell.
Anaphase I
Homologous chrmosomes move to the oppisite poles of the cell.
Telophase I and Cytokinesis
Chromosomes gather at the poles of the cells & the cytoplasm divides.
Prophase II
A new spidle forms around the chromosomes.
Metaphase II
Chromosomes line up at the equator.
Anaphase II
Centromeres divides & chromatids move to the opposite poles of the cells.
Telophase II and Cytokinesis
A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes & the cytoplasm divides.
Each somatic cell has 46 cells and 24 pairs. Once the cell replicates it will have the same amount of cell (46) and the same amount of pairs(24).
