Suppose that a few individuals of a lizard species are transported on a log that floats from the mainland, where the lizard is a

bundant, to a distant island, where prior to this event no lizards (of any species) existed. The environmental conditions on the island are similar to those on the mainland. A small population of this lizard becomes established on the island; within a few years, allele frequencies in the island population differ greatly from those in mainland populations. What is the most likely cause of the genetic differences between the island and mainland populations?

2) Sometimes insects will instead sit on top of a warm surface in order to increase their body temperature. What is the primary
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat conduction, these are conduction, convection and radiation. Heat transfer by conduction usually involves the movement of heat through solid substances. For instance, in the scenario given in this question, the warm surface is the solid substance through which heat is passed to the insects' bodies. Thus, conduction requires direct contact.

Heat transfer by convection method usually involves the movement of heat through liquids or gases while radiation can occur in vacuum.
