Answer:

<em>Tiktaalik roseae</em>

Explanation:

The discovery of the fossil, <em>Tiktaalik roseae</em> on a Canadian island gives credence to the fact that animals moved from living in water to living on dry land. This fish which has feature of land animals such as a neck, skull, and ribs is believed to have lived some 375 million years ago. It also has features of fish such as the fins and scales.

The discovery of this fossil is important to scientists because it confirmed their believe that there should be an organism that would prove that life transitioned from water to land. The fossil was discovered in the year 2004.

Apple maggots are a type of fly native to North America. Prior to the introduction of the apple tree to North America, apple mag
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

B is the most likely consequence because of the following facts we are told:

  • After apple trees were introduced, some apple maggots began feeding from and laying their eggs on apple trees
  • Adult apple maggots will only mate on the type of tree on which they were born.

This provides a geographical isolation (because they are feeding and laying eggs on separate trees) and reproductive isolation (because they will only mate on the type of tree on which they are born).

These two factors increase the chances that apple maggots feeding on apple trees will only encounter those who have mated on the same tree, and continue to mate this way. Over time, the populations (i.e. apple tree vs hawthorn tree) will intermix less and less. This will mean the genetic pool will become distinct, and natural selection will be acting differently (different habitats and different genes), encouraging speciation.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Reproductive isolation refers to the inability of an organism or species to breed successfully with other organism or species.

It may arise from various factors such as:

  • Geographical isolation such as river, mountain, etc
  • Behavioral changes such as mating time or season, mating rituals, mating location etc.
  • Physiological differences such as change in shape of sex organs which causes lack of fit between copulatory organs.
  • Genetic differences.

Reproductive and geographical isolations between two populations (of same species) inhibit the flow of genes among them. Slowly, these isolations increase the variations in the gene pools of the two populations.

These genetic variations keep on increasing with time. In addition, as an adaptation to their surrounding or habitat the two populations would develop different behavioral and physiological changes

With time, these differences will increase up to such an extent that the two populations would not be able breed with each other. Hence, it would lead to the evolution of one or both the populations into new species.

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

•Specific enzymes catalyze each cellular reaction in cellular respiration. The main role of enzymes during the respiration reaction is to assist in transferring electrons from one molecule to another.

•The reactions of photosynthesis, and many other biological processes, are controlled by enzymes.
