Imagine you are at the top of a mountain looking down. As you hike from the highest elevation to the lowest elevation, you find

three different species of related mice. None of them are found at the same elevation, and the vegetation changes at each elevation level.
Using species C as a reference, you find that there are more genetic differences between species A and species C than between species A and species B. Which of the statements would best reflect the mode of speciation in these mice?

A. Only genetic drift is responsible for the differences observed.
B. Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original population.
C. Species C arose from species A later than species B.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The mode of speciation exhibited by these mice might follow the allopatric or peripatric pattern in that since these mice are in some ways related as stated, it is possible species C has become isolated from a peripheral population (in this case a peripatric speciation) due to maybe some geographical changes (allopatric speciation in general) as seen in vegetation changes at each elevation level and also no gene flow occurs between these population. And this depends on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original population. If large, it might be mainly by genetic drift.

Answer:

Which of the statements would best reflect the mode of speciation in these mice?

B. Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original population.

Explanation:

Speciation is a process related to evolution. In this process, populations evolve to become distinct species. Based on the extent to which speciating populations can be isolated from one another:<em> allopatric, peripatric, parapatric, and sympatric.</em> These are four geographic modes of speciation in nature. In this case, <em>speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original population. </em>

Sensation

detection of physical energy by sense organs, which then send info to the brain
- Detection of stimuli by sense organs
- how info gets to our brain = detecting stimuli
- allows us to pick up the signals in our environment
- ex. vision- going through eye to visual cortex and smell - going through nose.

Why are there no carriers with dominant pedigrees?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
You can't have a carrier with a dominant pedigree because other wise than individual or organism would be afflicted by the gene and render them incapable of being a carrier. A carrier is an individual/organism that has a normal phenotype (meaning it is not afflicted by said gene) but is carrying the gene that could cause disease or whatever the affect may be. In this case the gene would have to be homozygous recessive to be expressed. Hopefully this helps!

An echocardiogram reveals Charles, an ultramarathon runner, has an enlarged left ventricle. As this increase in ventricular size
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - physiological hypertrophy.

Explanation:

Physiological hypertrophy of is a condition of the heart that occurs in return of the normal growth an individual such as an athlete like Charles who is a marathon runner in this case.

Left ventricle hypertrophy is a common type of hypertrophy that occurs in this condition in which the left ventricle of the heart increase in size temporary which arises in response to the exercise and function is done by muscles.

thus, the correct answer is - physiological hypertrophy.
