Describe the process through which allopatric speciation splits 1 species into 2 distinct ones

Biology
1 answer:
PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Natural selection or genetic drift

Explanation:

Natural selection and genetic drift are two different evolutionary mechanisms that can lead to speciation. This is, to the origin of two species from a single species (the common ancestor).

Allopatric speciation is a type of speciation where emerging species arise after an ancestral population is divided by a geographical barrier preventing contact and therefore gene flow between individuals of split populations. The split populations eventually could become new species.

Natural selection occurs when the split populations changes genetically due to environmental pressures. The genetic drift occurs when the genetic changes are due to random sampling of organisms.

All animals share several common characteristics. Which is a characteristic shared by all animals?
kirill [66]

Answer: multi-cellular bodies

Explanation: All animals are multi-cellular. This means that they are made up of many cells/cellular systems. Single-celled organisms, on the other hand, are not considered animals. Those would mostly be too tiny to see without the aid of a microscope tool. The other answer choices would not fit, because not all animals have bones (endoskeletons or exoskeletons). Also, only some animals are cold blooded, which is what the last answer choice has to do with.

What condition is required for fermentation to occur? A. When oxygen levels within a cell are too low for aerobic respiration B.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

A. When oxygen levels within a cell are too low for aerobic respiration

Explanation:

Fermentation is a chemical or metabolic process that occurs in organism, when a carbohydrate such as glucose is metabolized or converted to an alcohol anaerobically (absence of oxygen).

When an organism lacks oxygen within the cell, aerobic respiration would be halted, hence pyruvate produced from glucose further undergoes fermentation anaerobically.

Organisms like lactic acid bacteria and yeast carry out fermentation. The process of fermentation is widely used in food industries, such as in brewing of wine or manufacture of yogurt.
