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.

PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP! THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE TODAY!!

If different masses of water are heated to the same temperature, the sample that will absorb more energy will be the mass of water with the greatest amount of water mass, because the larger the material, the greater the amount of heat needed.

<h3>What is the specific heat of water?</h3>

Water has a specific heat of 1 cal/g. ºC This means that the energy of 1 cal is required for a variation of 1 °C in 1 g of water.

With this information, we can conclude that Water's specific heat power is 4.2 joules per gram per Celsius degree or 1 calory per gram per Celsius degree.

What would happen to an organism if mitosis did not occur? Check all that apply.
vitfil [10]

The correct options are:

The organism would not grow.

If an organism were cut or burned, the damaged area would not heal.

The organism would not produce new cells.

The mitosis is essential for the division of the cells. The division of the cells allow the organism to grow and heal the damaged cells. The division of the cells replace the old cells and multiply the number of the cells in an organism. hence, in any condition, the organism would be affected and in the absence of the mitosis, the organism cannot heal and cannot grow, due to non-production of new cells.

How does a diversity of organisms increase the chances that some will survive a major change in environment ?
Slav-nsk [51]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

This can be explained with an example.

Let’s lake an example of two species 1 and 2.

Species 1 has a wide genetic diversity due to which organism are also diverse in phenotype. Their phenotype are:  

Black, dark brown, brown, dark red, red, light red, pink, skin color.

From left to right organism are becoming less adapted to high temperature relatively.

For species 2:  This species has less genetic diversity and its phenotypic diversity is as follow:

Black, red, Skin color.

From left to right organism are becoming less adapted to high temperature relatively.

Now if there is the sudden high temperature in the environment; 4 Types of phenotype will survive are black, dark brown, brown, dark red.

While there will only two types of organism in specie 2 which will survive are black, red.

So that’s how the diversity of organisms increase the chances that some will survive a major change in environment.
