Answer:
flexion
Explanation:
The flexion is a movement of the body part that is described the bending of an elbow, or the clenching a hand into a fist, etc. where the angle between any segment of the body and its proximal segment decreases.
In simple words, the flexion is a movement which decreases the angle between two body parts when they are moved.
The flexion occurs in the sagittal plane.
Thus, the movement of a thumb that would be mostly affected by the lesion of median nerve in cubital fossa is the flexion movement.
Answer: C: Contain chloroplast that perform photosynthesis.
Explanation: Process of elimination deems C correct!
<u>Answer</u>:
1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.
b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.
Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):
A. the genus or generic name
- written first
- always underlined or italicized
- the first letter is always capitalized
ex. <em>Canis</em>
B. the specific epithet or species name
- is written second
- always underlined or italicized
- never capitalized
ex. <em>lupus</em>

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.
Answer:
- Interruption in the genetic flow between separated groups
- The emergence of new mutations in each of the groups, and their accumulation in time. Slow and gradual differentiation between populations.
- Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation
- Prezigotic isolation mechanisms
Explanation:
Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background that can give place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flux, as the two new groups that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.
The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps that affect organisms:
- The emergence of the barrier.
- Interruption in the genetic interchange
- The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
- Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.
- Prezigotic isolation mechanisms will be favored by selection if occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.
The different levels of organisation within the biosphere, from the smallest to largest are:
1. Individual, species or creatures
the organisms
2. population
The entire populace
3. community
The total population at a given point in time and place.
4. ecosystem
The biotic and abiotic factors that are interacting.
5. biome
The ecosystems that share the same characeristics and abiotic factors.
6. biosphere
The entire living and nonliving organism in the planet earth, from prokaryotic cells to eukaryotic cells and how organic compounds from its enviroment aid in their survival
