Answer:
(B) Lava has separated the population into two areas: an upland forest and a lowland marsh.
Explanation:
In allopatric speciation, individuals of an ancestral species may undergo evolution into two or more progeny species which arises when physical separation causes a geographic boundary, this barrier can be in the form of a mountain range, rockslide, river or lava.
As in this scenario, a lava flow divides the populations of annual herbaceous plants by altering the landscape. This will cause genetic divergence with varying heritable features among its many generations favouring different traits in the separate environment along with genetic drift. The Lava will separates the population into two areas: an upland forest and a lowland marsh.
The answer for this question would be letter A. Experimentation takes in by experimenting with your hypothesis, knowing what will happen and then gathering data from the outcome of the experiment. For your data, you create your analysis of what had happened then conclude.
C, when mutations are not always predictable they are random
Variations can be genetic or environmental, the traits are passed from one generation to other generation of snail is from from both parents to offspring and through the environment.
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Genetic variation in an organism is passed to the offspring by its parents.
environmental variation is the the result of different environment with which individual adapt.
Natural selection is a process in which a suitable trait which is well adapted to the environment is passed on tho future generations.
Genetic variation is the change in DNA or gene of the individual trait. The tree snails having different pattern in their shells is due to the habitat they are living in.
The snails which have well adapted to the environment are able to reproduce and pass on the traits to their progeny. The variation is due to the traits passed from parents through the environment also.
