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.
The skull is designed to protect the brain.
It is chloroplast I guess because once i read that mitochondria has not much importance in being an autonomous organelle
Great question! Let me first talk about how sedimentary rocks are formed. Sedimentary rocks are formed when when existing rocks are broken down in sediment. Now, let me explain what they are. Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been weathered into rock fragments or pieces.
