Answer:

Occurrence and accumulation in time of new mutations in each of the separated populations. This leads to a gradual differentiation.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of an original population so that it can give place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flux, as the two new populations that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps:

  • The emergence of the barrier,
  • Interruption in the genetic interchange,
  • The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation,
  • Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation, which makes it impossible for the two groups to cross even if the barrier disappears,  
  • Prezigotic isolation mechanisms favored by selection once it occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

A confederation ( or confederacy) is a weak association of states, rather than a firm union
likoan [24]

The confederation has succeeded in establishing a new country. However, the residents of each state still tended to think of themselves as citizens of their particular state rather than as Americans. Under the Articles, many of the states continued to have only limited contact with each other. This made it difficult for them to agree on the common interests and goals for the government.

Which nonmetallic mineral is used as a building material and also in the manufacture of steel?
kvv77 [185]
Limestone.

It is a sedimentary rock composed of calcite and aragonite. It is used as a building material mainly because it is easily available and easy to work with.

Limestone is used in the manufacture of steel as it is the primary raw material that helps to remove impurities from the iron ore and produces waste matter  that has low melting point and viscosity

Answer: No
