Answer:

  • Interruption in the genetic flow between separated groups
  • The emergence of new mutations in each of the groups, and their accumulation in time. Slow and gradual differentiation between populations.
  • Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation
  • Prezigotic isolation mechanisms

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background that can give place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flux, as the two new groups that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps that affect organisms:

  • The emergence of the barrier.
  • Interruption in the genetic interchange
  • The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
  • Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.
  • Prezigotic isolation mechanisms will be favored by selection if occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

How would seasons on Earth differ if Earth's axis was at a 90 degree angle relative to its orbit?
Triss [41]

Answer:

There would be no seasons anywhere on Earth

Explanation:

If the Earth's axis was not tilting and it was at a 90 degrees angle relative to its orbit, then the seasons on Earth would disappear. The climate on the planet would be defined by the latitude. The equator and the areas close to it would always have summer, as they will receive direct sunlight throughout all of the year. The mid-latitudes will always have temperate climate, reminding of spring and autumn, as the sunlight will not be very direct, but it will also not be very dispersed, jut enough to create a constantly pleasant climate. The higher latitudes will always have winter, as the sunlight will come at a very low angle throughout all of the year, thus it will be very dispersed, not enough to ever warm this parts enough, so they will constantly be under ice.
