Answer:

menadione

Explanation:

Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin that exists in two natural forms: phytonadione (K1: fye toe" na dye' one) which is derived from plant sources and menadione (K2: men" a dye’ one) which is derived from bacterial sources. Vitamin K is a cofactor in the photosynthetic electron-transport system in green plants, which are the major dietary source of vitamin K for humans. High levels of vitamin K1 are found in leafy green vegetables while vitamin K2 is found in meat, milk and butter. In humans, vitamin K is an essential cofactor in the gamma-carboxylation of glutamate residues of several clotting factors and anticoagulant proteins. Hope this helps!

The answer is speciation by geographic isolation. When the population of a species gets separated due to reasons such as continental drift, mountains, canyons, etc. then each separated group of population may survive and adapt to their respective environment leading to speciation. These barriers do not allow the evolving populations to interbreed initially and over time when they evolve into different species they become completely reproductively isolated.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The concept of <em>natural selection</em> was given by <em>Charles Darwin.</em>
  • According to this concept, in a given environment the organisms that possess <em>better adaptations</em> have<em> higher chances of survival</em> and, leave behind a <em>greater number of progenies</em>.
  • When malaria outbreak occurs, the allele frequencies change and only the organisms that possess the alleles which help them to <em>survive</em> this outbreak due to resistance against malarial infection will be selected by nature and<em> hence, this is an example of natural selection.</em>
