2. The Isthmus of Panama cut off gene flow between Atlantic and Pacific populations of a species of fish. The cessation of gene

flow led to the accumulation of genetic differences between the populations, which led to reproductive isolation. Now Atlantic and Pacific populations of this fish are separate species that cannot interbreed, even if they were again to come into contact with each other. The process described is that of
a. sympatric speciation.

b. parapatric speciation.

c. allopatric speciation.

d. reinforcement.

e. temporal isolation.

Answer:

C Allopatric Speciation

Explanation:

Evolution of two populations of same species into two separate species due to geographical isolation is called allopatric speciation.  

In the given example, Isthmus of Panama serves as a geographical barrier and do not allow the interbreeding between Atlantic and Pacific fish populations of the same species.  

These populations evolve genetic adaptation to make themselves better suited to the prevailing surroundings. Accumulation of genetic variations over generation leads to their reproductive isolation. Now, these two fish populations serve as two separate species as they can not interbreed.

I am thinking it is by heating themselves in sunlight. I think this because when I bring lizards to mind, they are cold blooded, and they need sunlight to bath in so they do not start to lack warmth to live.

I hope this helps.

What refrigerant safety group classification has the highest flammability and the highest toxicity?
timama [110]

Answer;

-B3

Explanation;

Refrigerants are divided into two groups according to toxicity:

-Class A signifies refrigerants for which toxicity has not been identified at concentrations less than or  equal to 400 ppm;  and

-Class B signifies refrigerants for which there is evidence of toxicity at concentrations below 400 ppm.

They are also divided into three groups according to flammability:

-Class 1 indicates refrigerants that do not show flame propagation when tested in air at 21°C and 101  kPa;

-Class 2 indicates refrigerants having a lower flammability limit of more than 0.10 kg/m3  at 21°C and  101 kPa and a heat of combustion of less than 19 kJ/kg;

-Class 3 indicates refrigerants that are highly flammable as defined by a lower flammability limit of less  than or equal to 0.10 kg/m3  at 21°C and 101 kPa or a heat of combustion greater than or equal to 19  kJ/kg.

-Therefore; the answer for the above question would be Class B and class 3.

Which of the following pairs of elements would most likely form a salt?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
A salt is an ionic compound which needs a positive charge ion and a negative ion charge to form a salt.This means that the pair of element should be a metal and non-metal.This is simply because metal atoms tend to lose negative charge electrons and form positive ions while non-metals tend to receive the electrons from the metal atom to form negative charge ions.So answer is Cl and Li.
