<span>The process by which molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is diffusion. I hope I helped! :)</span>
Answer:
Genetic information is bundled into packages of DNA known as chromosomes.
Explanation:
Chromosomes can be described as thread-like structures made up of genes. A genes can be described as a hereditary molecule which is made up of a segment of DNA. Hence, a chromosome contains genetic information packaged into bundles of DNA.
The number of chromosomes vary for each organism. For example, the number of chromosomes in each somatic cell of the human body is 46. These chromosomes occur in the form of homologous pars.
Answer:
a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and experiences different selective pressures
Explanation:
This is an example of allopatric speciation Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (formation of new species) that occurs as a result of geographic isolation. This means that a part of population becomes physically separated from the initial main population. There is no gene flow between these two populations and as a result the two populations reach a high level of genetic divergence. They can no longer interbreed which means they become two different species (speciation).
New populations evolve as result of mutation, genetic drift and natural selection.
For example, Galapagos finches are isolated from others by the ocean (geographic isolation). Because of the isolation, the finches don’t breed with one another. So, they developed unique characteristics and became endemic.
