The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
A. Speciation
B. the founder effect
C. natural selection
D. gene flow
Answer:
Founder effect
Explanation:
The founder effect is the phenomenon observed when the members of the population establish a new population.
This effect is observed due to the immigration and emigration of the individuals of the population.
In the given question, the four lizards swept away with the ocean and reached a new island. There they reproduced and flourished and by the time they formed the new population with orange stripes. This is the case of the genetic drift especially the founder effect in which the new alleles for the orange tail expressed.
Thus, the founder effect is the correct answer.
FASFA4caster is the answer (D)
Answer: Harmful mutations may cause genetic disorders or cancer. A genetic disorder is a disease caused by a mutation in one or a few genes. A human example is cystic fibrosis. A mutation in a single gene causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and blocks ducts in digestive organs
Answer: Atmospheric Nitrogen is unreactive
Explanation:
The atmosphere is made up of about 80% Nitrogen, 16% oxygen, about 4% carbon dioxide, rare gases etc.
However, the 80% Nitrogen is highly unreactive, and needs to be trapped by competent micro organisms known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes.
Then, it is converted to several forms like nitrites, nitrates (easily absorbed by plants), ammonia and finally escape to the atmosphere again.
This brief illustration explains the NITROGEN CYCLE, and it is the only means by which plants and animals can use the highly unreactive nitrogen
Answer:
I am pretty sure it would be A
