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.

REY [17]

Answer:

Strictly speaking, species diversity is the number of different species in a particular area (species richness) weighted by some measure of abundance such as number of individuals or biomass. ... An ecosystem where all the species are represented by the same number of individuals has high species evenness.

<span>Algae bloom or algal bloom is an obvious appearance or rapid increase and accumulation of millions of algae and tiny plant-like organisms in the water. The blooms of these microscopic algae or phytoplankton is the result of abundant sunlight, nutrients, and the right water conditions.  These blooms may take place in freshwater and in marine environments as well. They come in different colors, cyanobacteria blooms for instance are often blue-green which literally means that blue-green algae comes to bloom</span> .
