Two morphologically identical Drosophila populations live in Lower Nahal Oren, Mount Carmel, Israel. There are two slopes of a v

alley that face each other and drosophila live on both slopes (they share a common ancestor). The environment is very different even though they are very close. In the center of the valley is an area in which flies from each side have an opportunity to mate. (an aside: This is frowned upon by fly society buy these tiny Montagues and Capulets persist). Evaluate each scenario:

Answer:

There are two possible scenarios

Scenario 1) Genetic flow is acting on these populations

Scenario 2) The original population has recently diverged

Explanation:

Scenario 1:

These two populations of flies should probably express some phenotypic difference due to the environmental condition on each slope. Remember that the phenotype is the product of interaction between the genotype and the environment. However, <em>the difference between populations would exist if they were isolated and separated by an ecological or biological barrier.</em> The <em>barrier would impede genetic flow, and each population would have its particular genetic charge and phenotype</em>.

In the exposed situation, we know that each population inhabits a slope. And that the slopes differ in the environmental conditions. But in the center of the valley, these two populations get to meet and mate. The valley is acting as a corridor between both groups and allows the <u>genetic flow</u> to occur.

Let us remember that gene flow is an evolutive strength only if

  • there exists migration from one population to the other, and
  • the allelic frequency in one generation is different from the allelic frequency in the next generation.

Genetic flow acts<u> homogenizing the allelic frequencies between the two populations</u>, and it might introduce variability into the new one. For genetic flow to be possible, there needs not only the <em>movement of the genes from one population to the other but also the reproduction process on the new population</em>. Hence, it <em>involves an interaction between the dispersion pattern and the reproductive system</em>.

Individuals from both groups get to mate in the valley, leaving fertile offspring. The offspring, carrying genes from both populations, are included in one or the other group, where they will reproduce. In each population, the frequency of genes of the other group increase with time as the flies keep mating. Eventually, genetic flow homogenizes the variability between both populations, making them look similar.

Scenario Two:

It might be an early dispersion event in which the common ancestor of both populations used to inhabit the center of the valley. With time, and as the original population got bigger, dispersion took a significant role. Flies began moving into both slopes. Even though each area has different environmental conditions, there has not been enough time for these animals to adapt morphologically to each side, so they still look identical. Also, as it is an early event, these two new groups are not separated yet, so they have not developed biological barriers between them, and individuals can still mate in the center of the valley.

Why is a primary far less common and takes much longer to complete than secondary succession ?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Secondary succession generally takes place faster in comparison to primary succession as the substrate is already present. In the case of primary succession, there is no soil and it consumes much time to form.  

Primary succession takes place in mainly lifeless regions, that is, the regions in which the soil does not possess the tendency of sustaining life as an outcome of various factors.  

On the other hand, secondary succession takes place in the regions where a community that previously prevailed have been eradicated and is epitomized by smaller scale turbulence, which do not eradicate all the forms of life and nutrients from the environment.

Epinephrine, insulin, and auxins are all examples of that help produce feedback.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: cofactors.

Explanation:

Epinephrine, insulin and auxins are cofactors.

Cofactors are non protein substance which activate enzymes activity by increasing the rate of chemical reaction of enzymes. They are organic molecules and they assist in enzyme activity. They exist in performing some reactions the enzymes cannot perform alone.

For example, insulin activate enzyme hexokinase which phosphorylate glucose.

During translation, what kind of bond is formed between amino acids?.
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Peptide bonds

Explanation:

During translation peptide bonds are formed from the (N) to the (C) terminus by removal of water also referred to as dehydration or condensation and catalyzed by RNA referred to as a ribozyme that forms part of the ribosome.

The development of structured structures known as tubercles is tuberculosis.

<h3>Which four forms of infections are there?</h3>

Infections frequently occur. We've probably all experienced at atleast one at some point, from COVID-19 to ear infections and also the flu. Sepsis can be brought on by bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic illnesses.

<h3>What brings about an infection?</h3>

Whenever bacteria taken into the body, multiply, & trigger a response in the body, an illness results. An infect needs to happen in three different ways: Source: Ecologies of infectious (germ) pathogens   A individual who's really susceptible but who has a point of entry for germs.
