Species evolve independently possibly due to geographical isolations or behavioural isolations.
Geographical isolation includes the isolation of 2 groups of the same species. Since these 2 groups live in different locations, (e.g. a volcanic eruption resulting in a barrier between one side of an ocean and another side of the ocean), they will have different selection pressures in their different environments as well (e.g. one side of the ocean may have more sunlight and thus more underwater plantations than the other side of the ocean). Natural selection will eliminate those with disadvantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes that only eat plants and nothing else on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with unfavourable alleles, and select for those with advantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes are able to eat plants and other organic substances as well on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with favourable alleles.
Since the 2 groups have different selection pressures, natural selection will occur in different ways, selecting for and against different types of fishes with different types of alleles. Also, because of the barrier, they are not able to mate with each other, and there are no mixing of genes from one side of the ocean and the other side. They are genetically isolated. As genetic drift occurs over time, their gene pools become different from each other. Thus, they evolve independently.
Hope this helps! :)
If the web happened to look like this one I attached then the anwser would be shrubs. If you take a look at the arrows the shrubs energy is moving to rats, insects and lizards which in turn feeds the coyotes. The starting point is shrubs and in general most food webs start with plants.
A. enough statistical support for the research hypothesis when there is not
Answer: important because it helps make sure no one will get hurt
Explanation:
if there weren't lab rules then people could burn themselves or get severely hurt
Answer:
The correct answer is - D. All of these are correct.
Explanation:
It is clear that the terrarium is sealed or not, if it is open to the outside environment or not. Considering it sealed and no outer interaction, then if a fake plant to this terrarium then there will be no photosynthesis will take place as there are no green plants to capture the sunlight and make glucose and no way to release oxygen for the other organisms.
If in this no green plants then the removal of CO2 will not be possible. Higher amount of carbon and without oxygen turtles would not be able to survive even though there is food for them.
