Explain why scientists believe the Abert’s and Kaibab squirrels are examples of speciation.

Biology
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

The Kaibab Squirrel gives us one nice example of evolution occurring due to geographic isolation.

-About 10,000 years ago when the last ice age ended, physical formations in the canyon changed in a way that blocked the squirrels access to the Colorado River. The canyon became a geographic barrier separating the forests and squirrels on each rim. One population of squirrels had become two separate populations that could no longer interbreed, the kaibab squirrels. Abert’s squirrels are a North American species, found across a range of locations. Kaibab squirrels are a subspecies of Abert’s squirrels, found only in one area in the United States.

-Both the Kaibab squirrel and the Abert’s squirrel live in the ponderosa pine forests, where they build their nests out of twigs and pine needles. They eat acorns, fruit, and fungi, as well as the seeds, bark, and twigs of the trees where they make their home. The Kaibab squirrel's most significant source of food is the seeds found within ponderosa pine cones.

A gene that affects hair length in dogs has two alleles. The allele for short hair (L) is dominant
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.

B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.

C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.

D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.

The answer is D

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in dogs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that allele 'S' will always mask the phenotypic expression of allele 's' in a heterozygous state.

According to the question, two heterozygous dogs (Ss) were crossed to produce 6 shortt-haired offsprings and 2 long-haired offsprings. An heterozygous organism is that which contains two different alleles for a particular gene i.e. a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.

Based on this, during meiosis or gamete formation, an heterozygous dog (Ss) will produce gametes with the short hair allele (S) and long hair allele (s) in equal proportion i.e. 50-50. When the two gametes containing the recessive alleles (s) produced by each heterozygous parent fuses, an offspring with a recessive phenotype (long hair, ss) is produced.

Hence, a long-hair

phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs because a heterozygous parent has equal chance of passing either the dominant or recessive allele to the offspring.
