Answer: They evolve through genetic drift.

Explanation: <u>Junk DNA refers to noncoding sections of a genome</u>. It consists of repeated segments scattered randomly throughout the genome generated through transposition or movement of sections of DNA to different positions in the genome.

Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to random sampling of organisms. This process is caused by spontaneous mutations and may cause the alleles to disappear completely and thereby reduce genetic variation. <u>Many of these genetic alterations are in regions of "junk DNA"</u>

If interbreeding within the hybrid zone of the mountain pass decreased over time, what would you expect to happen to the Western
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The two population will become separate species due to allopatric speciation

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation is also known as geographic speciation. In this speciation two populations of the same species isolated geographically from each other which prevents gene flow between them and the two populations evolve separately and over time, it leads to the creation of a separate species.

So here as interbreeding within the hybrid zone of the mountain pass decreased over time so it will lead to speciation in these populations and they will evolve into two separate populations due to lack of gene flow as a result of geographical isolation.

barxatty [35]
<span>Sublimation. It's the same effect as evaporation but sublimation means it goes from a solid state (snow) to a gas state. This phenomenon can be seen in your freezer, when ice cubes evaporate the moving particles on the surface fly off to the environment just like in liquids.</span>
