Evolution of a species could occur as a result of changes in the
victus00 [196]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

(1) DNA in muscle cells

(2) base sequences in liver cells

(3) genes in an egg cell

(4) number of chromosomes in a fetal bone cell

Answer:

(3) genes in an egg cell

Explanation:

Evolution is the change in characteristics of a species which it develops over the time. These changes can be a result of natural selection, genetic drift, founder effect etc. They are passed from one generation to another hence the alleles for them get fixed in the population.

For evolution to occur, change should take place in germ cells. Germ cells are the one which fuse to form the organisms of next generation. If there is a change in their genes, it would also appear in next generation, unlike changes in genes of somatic cells. Since egg cell is a germ cell it is the correct answer.

What type of isolation was occurring in the collared lizard population?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Dispersal

Explanation:

It should be understood that there was a point in time when the collard lizards were going into extinction. This is due to some certain human activities such as bush burning, which caused the death of this particular creature and others.

Therefore, this activity led to the dispersal of the remaining member of the population, which resulted to being isolated on a mountain.
