"evolution of populations over time" is <span>represented by the base root of a phylogenetic tree</span>
Initiation, elongation, and then termination
<span>The answer is A. Variation in gene pool
Speciation is a formation of a new species during the evolution line.
When there is a variation in a gene pool, a unique combination between genes could be formed during the mating process. This will create an offspring with unique gene pool that will lead to speciation</span>
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. A gene is a tightly coiled strands of DNA. A gene is the basic unit of heredity and is made up of DNA. It acts as instructions to make molecules. Hope this answers the question.
