How does gene flow prevent a population for adapting to its environmenta

1 answer:

7 0

gene flow or migration between two populations will help maintain similarities between the species, therefore preventing (or slowing down) the process of speciation. and when the environment changes rapidly, this can cause an overall decrease in population size because of a failure to adapt adequately to environmental changes. i hope this helped <3

Why do you think invasive species are more of a problem in human altered biomes (anthromes) than they are in a biome that has no

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

invasive species are a problem both in anthropogenically altered and natural environments

Explanation:

An invasive species can be defined as a non-native species introduced into a new environment which then becomes abundant. Only in the US, it is believed that there are approximately 4,000 invasive species (some examples include the feral pigs, grey squirrels, European rabbits, etc.). In general, invasive species have a negative impact on the ecosystem, especially by displacing native species and thereby altering the trophic chain. In anthropogenically altered environments (anthromes), human beings are considered to be an invasive species.

Cell Division Homework #1 Introduction to Cell Division Directions: Compare and contrast the following pairs of terms:

wel

Answer:

Sister chromatids / centromeres: When a single chromosome has been replicated in copies, each copy is called a sister chromatids.

A special part of the chromosome called the centromere holds the two sister chromatids together. A centromere is like a built-in rubber band for two sister chromosomes.

Mother cell / daughter cell: identical.

Daughter cells are genetically identical to the mother cell at the stage of production through mitosis.

On the other hand, at the stage of production through meiosis, the daughter cells are genetically different and contain only half of the genetic material of the mother cell.

Interphase / cell division: A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows,

replicates its chromosomes, and prepare for cell division.

The cell then leaves Interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

DNA / chromosome: Genes are segments of deoxyirbonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for specific protein that functions in one or more types of cell in the body

Chromosomes are structures within cells that contains a person's genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

Mitosis / cytokinesis: Basically, mitosis is a process by which the duplicated genome in a cell is separated into halves that are identical in nature.

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two 'daughter' cells. The result is the formation of two 'daughter cells', each having a nucleus.

what is the difference of a structure and function of the cell wall to the structure and function of the cell membrane?

Afina-wow [57]

One of the differences between the cell membrane and the cell wall is in the type of organisms that they are found in. A cell wall is found in plants only. A cell membrane is found in all organisms including plants. Present only in plants, and in some fungi, bacteria, algae.

Which characteristics can be used to classify the tree as a gymnosperm rather than “any other type of seed” plant?

erica [24]

1. Naked Seeds, Gymnosperm means 'naked seed' and these were the earliest trees to evolve. They do not produce flowers and have seeds which are directly exposed to the air for wind pollination. Pine cones are one example. For ease you might think of the gymnosperms as conifers, such as yew and Scots pine.
