Diane Dodd, of Yale University, divided a fruit-fly population, raising some populations on a starch medium and others on a malt

ose medium. After many generations, natural selection resulted in divergent evolution: Populations raised on starch digested starch more efficiently, while those raised on maltose digested maltose more efficiently. Dodd then put flies from the same or different populations in mating cages and measured mating frequencies. Which of the statements is best supported by the data? A) There is no evidence of reproductive isolation between the starch-adapted flies and maltose-adapted flies. B) The maltose adapted flies will never mate with the starch adapted flies because they are two different species. C) The starch adapted flies and maltose adapted flies appear to now be separate species as defined by the biological species concept. D) The starch adapted flies and maltose adapted flies are not different species but a reproductive barrier is forming between the two populations.

Answer:

D) The starch adapted flies and maltose adapted flies are not different species but a reproductive barrier is forming between the two populations.

Explanation:

The preference of starch and maltose flies to mate with their own types indicates beginning of the formation of reproductive barrier between them. And the population is exhibiting divergent evolution. It would lead to formation of two different species after several generations. But right now, the barrier is not fully formed as indicated by presence of some mating between two types of flies.

The chemical effect of the endocrine system is longer lasting than the chemical effect of the nervous system.
Alex17521 [72]
This is true. The nervous system produces chemicals that affect our body at a rapid pace and the effects are usually short term and are designed for situations that are out of the ordinary. The endocrine system works slower and in the long run and there's not that much rapid effect that happens in stressful situations that the endocrine system solves or resolves. The hormones produced by the endocrine system are a constant that keeps being produced and they balance our body functions.

Which Molecules I needed to cut and copy segment in DNA
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Biological catalyst has to be cut.

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are called "Biological catalyst".
  • Enzymes are called Biological catalysts because they diminish the activation energy for reactions. As the activation energy is reduced the rate of reaction is increased.
  • Many enzymes modify their state when substrates bind and it is known as "Induced fit".
  • Enzymes are nothing but Protein(Biological molecules). Most of the biological reactions are catalyzed by Protein.
  • Enzymes improve the rate of synthetic reactions without getting altered forever by the reaction.
  • For this reason Biological catalyst are needed to be cut and copy segemnte in DNA.
