Answer:

Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust.

Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart.

Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other.

Explanation:

Oceanic

Earth's crust is divided into two types: oceanic crust and continental crust. The transition zone between these two types of crust is sometimes called the Conrad discontinuity. Silicates (mostly compounds made of silicon and oxygen) are the most abundant rocks and minerals in both oceanic and continental crust.

In a field of flowering plants known as evening primrose, a genetic doubling event produces a few individuals that are still in
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

sympatric

Explanation:

Speciation is the process by which new species originate and there are several mechanisms and processes by which speciation can take place.

When speciation occurs in a common geographical area where there are no barriers preventing the mating of species and the members of the species lie in close proximity to one another however, even in such conditions new species arise because of some differential characteristics. Such a speciation is termed as sympatric speciation.

In the given situation, the individuals that undergo genetic doubling get reproductively isolated from the original population because of incompatibility to mate even though they have close proximity with each other.

Therefore, the new species of evening primrose have arisen due to sympatric speciation.
