Folic acid is a type of vitamin that is essential for the normal growth and development of cells in the body. If a woman consume

s folic acid in her diet before and during the earliest stages of pregnancy, it can help to reduce her baby's risk for developing a type of birth defect called a neural tube defect. Early in pregnancy, the neural tube forms the brain and spinal cord. If the neural tube does not form properly, serious birth defects may result.
Identify one factor, other than a lack of folic acid that may interfere with the proper development of essential organs during pregnancy.

Answer:

Calcium, Iron.

Explanation:

Calcium and Iron

Calcium is an essential nutrients element in man's diet. The requirement of calcium is 1000mg per day but for a pregnant woman more than this is required because of the developing feotus. Calcium helps in bone development, heart and nervous system functioining. When calcium is not available for developing embryo its lead to soft bone formation and Ricket in small children. Calcium can be gotten from green vegetables, fruits such as citrus, milk product such as cheese and yoghurt.

Iron is also an essential nutrients element for pregnant woman its helps in the formation of heamoglobin in red blood cell, Heamoglobin in the red blood cell helps in the transport of oxygen in the body. Hence, when iron is low heamoglobin cannot be formed and oxygen circulation is inhibited. Sources of calcium include meat, egg, liver.

Fill in the missing words. naturalselection foundereffect geographicallyisolated species evolution
grandymaker [24]

Hi!


The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.


In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process  which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.
