Answer:

GAR and AICAR transformylase

Explanation:

Tetrahydrofolate is essential for purine and pyrimidine synthesis, its deficiency can lead to inhibition of nucleic acid such as DNA and RNA and protein synthesis, which are important for the growth and survival of both normal cells and cancer cells. N-10-formyltetrahydrofolate acts as a donor of carbon atoms to the actively growing bases. It contribution is mediated by the action of the Glycinamide Ribonucleotide (GAR) transformylase and the N-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) transformylase.

Answer:

Allopatric speciation

Explanation:

Speciation is the gradual process by which two different species are formed from a single species due to evolution.

Allopatric speciation will occur when the speciation is due to geographical isolation of a species to the extend it prevents or interferes with the gene flow. Therefore, the populations can not mate with each other and they evolve separately.

This is what happened to the fox species when they were separated by a mountain range.
