<h2>There are actually many factors that can lead to the rise of a new species:</h2>

Changes in the environment (this is a very general and non-specific way of speaking and you should probably not add this to your list) - the environment is under constant change, but the changes are only noticable after some years or decades (if the changes are drastical in months). These changes lead to changes in species, that also, if too drastical, can originate new ones.

If a species changes, wont it just be the same species with different characteristics? - No, because not all individuals will change. If there are the same species in India and in the USA, let's say, but only the ones in the USA change, there will be one species in India (original) and another in the USA with new characteristics (new species). Also, even if they're in the same geographic location, we cannot guarantee that all individuals wil change or will change the same way.

____________________________________________________

Natural selection - the selection of best-adapted individuals can make new species out of the better adapted ones. All we need is a "base-species" where individuals have different characteristics, with no paricular function. Suddenly, things start to change and only the individuals with certain characteristics will survive originating a new species from the now extinct one.

____________________________________________________

Isolation - when some individuals separate themselves (during migration, a hunt, or simply a separation) they can develop different traits depending on where they go and how they live.

____________________________________________________

Genetic drift - to keep things simple, a genetic drift is when modifications in a gene occur (or eliminations of a gene occur), either because of death or because of a lack of reproduction within a species. This can clearly originate new species, since we're dealing with genes.

____________________________________________________

Genetic mutation - genetic mutation is a process in which the DNA sequence of a species mutates (changes), through substitution, deletion or insertion. This is the main reason of diversity within species or genus.

____________________________________________________

<em>Note: there are more types of genetic changes and isolations we could name (also some evolutive processes) but the above are the most important ones in my opinion.</em>

PLEASE HELP!! i need help with this for biology i’m desperate please
Vanyuwa [196]

As per the demonstration of Griffith and Avery, it can be concluded that the given experiment finding supports hypothesis III, i.e. genetic material or transforming substance is DNA.

<h3>What is Genetic material?</h3>

Genetic material may be defined as any substance found in the cells of plants, animals, microbial or other origins that hold genetic information and that departs it from one generation to the next.

In 1944, Avery and others concluded that the transforming material was pure DNA, not protein or RNA.

These investigators found that DNA extracted from a virulent strain of the bacterium Pneumococcus genetically transformed an avirulent strain of the organism into a virulent form.

Therefore, as per the demonstration of Griffith and Avery, it can be concluded that the given experiment finding supports hypothesis III, i.e. genetic material or transforming substance is DNA.

To learn more about Griffith's experiment, refer to the link:

A substance prepared from killed or weakened pathogens that is introduced into the body to stimulate an immune response is known
snow_lady [41]

The hepatitis B and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are made this way. The vaccine is composed of a protein that resides on the surface of the virus. This strategy can be used when an immune response to one part of the virus (or bacteria) is responsible for protection against disease.Jun 28, 2016
