Natural selection and genetic drift are two mechanisms of evolution that can lead to speciation. Define both natural selection a

nd genetic drift, describe how both can lead to speciation, and provide both a historic and potentially current example for each. Be sure to address selection pressures

<h2>Evolution </h2>

Explanation:                  

Genetic drift

  • Genetic drift is change in allele frequencies in a population from generation to generation that occurs due to chance events
  • The genetic drift occurs due to random fluctuation of any allele in a gene pool and is more efficient in small population
  • The founder effect and the bottleneck effect are cases in which a small population is formed from a larger population which means they may experience strong drift for generations
  • In founder effect a genotype from a homogeneous gene pool migrate to a newer habitat and colonize there and form a newer community which leads to the genetic drift to the original population, speciation which occurs in this effect is the peripatric speciation
  • In bottleneck effect the elimination of inferior genotype from a homogeneous gene pool occurs due to the strong selection pressure and changing environmental conditions which leads to genetic drift and a only a few most adapted genotype survives and flourish

Natural Selection

  • Natural selection is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit
  • Genetic drift, mutation and sexual selection are important causes of natural selection
  • Directional natural selection favours the superior genotype and eliminate the inferior and intermediate genotype, in the history of evolution the most common natural selection is directional natural selection
  • Stabilizing natural selection favours the intermediate genotype but eliminates the extreme genotype
  • Bidirectional natural selection favours the extreme genotypes but eliminate the intermediate genotypes

An individual running a marathon may experience periods of oxygen deprivation that can lead to
Harman [31]

Answer:

A. anaerobic respiration in muscle cells, forming lactic acid

Explanation:

Running marathon is a vigorous exercise, which often leads to excessive use of oxygen in the cells of the athlete. This causes the cells to switch from the aerobic (with oxygen) to the anaerobic (without oxygen) mode of respiration. This anaerobic respiration produces a product called LACTATE OR LACTIC ACID.

The lactic acid becomes excessive and gets stored in the muscle cells of the athlete. This often leads to cramps, muscle pulls etc. during the marathon. Therefore, an individual running a marathon may experience periods of oxygen deprivation that can lead to anaerobic respiration in muscle cells, forming lactic acid.

Probably C. For example, you can tell how many amount of organism are in an ecosystem if you just check like a lot of animals live in hot climates while not many animals live in cold types of climates. I’m probably not making sense but I would put C.
