A species is defined as organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. Diane Dodd examined the idea of spec

iation in fruit flies. She took fruit flies from a single population and divided them into separate populations living in different cages, each receiving different food sources. One group was given maltose-based foods and the other, starch-based foods. After many generations, the flies were tested to see which flies they preferred to mate with. Dodd found that "maltose flies" preferred other "maltose flies.” In this case, what lead to speciation?

Answer:

The separation of the single population (allopatric speciation) led to speciation.

Explanation:

"Speciation" <u>refers to the evolutionary process of organisms in order to become a "distinct" species.</u> There are several factors affecting speciation and these are: <em>Genetic Drift, Natural Selection, Mutation and Geographic Isolation. </em>

The situation above is an example of the factor called "Geographic Isolation."  This type of isolation is reproductive in nature. This happens when organisms are separated or divided by a barrier. In the case above, the fruit flies were divided into different cages. One cage was for fruit flies who  fed on maltose-based foods, while the other cage was for fruit flies who fed on starch-based foods.

More specifically, this case may also be referred to as "allopatric speciation." It happens when a single population is divided. Thus, over time the separated species acquire genetic differences. These differences prevent them from breeding with each other once they are reunited. This is the reason why the maltose-based flies prefer to mate only maltose-based flies as well.

Explain how cognitive psychologists combine traditional conditioning models with cognitive processes.
user100 [1]
Behaviorists generally claimed that conditioning occurred without thinking or reasoning ans was simply a result of consequences or reinforcement. Cognitive psychologists demonstrated that thinking and reasoning (cognition) influences the conditioning processes and that many behaviors that are conditioned depend on the type of cognitive reasoning that occurs during conditioning. Therefore, as one is being conditioned to respond to environmental stimuli or is responding to a consequence, they are also pondering and thinking about the process occuring. Cognition is often the reason individuals are not all conditioned in the same manner.

A target in a shooting gallery consists of a vertical square wooden board, 0.250 m on a side and with mass 0.750 kg, that pivots
Alenkasestr [34]

Here in this case since there is no torque about the hinge axis for the system of bullet and block then we can say that angular momentum of this system will remain conserved

L_i = L_f

mv \frac{L}{2} = (I_1 + I_2)\omega

here we will have

L = 0.250 m

v = 385 m/s

m = 1.90 gram

now moment of inertia of the plate will be

I_1 = \frac{ML^2}{3}

I_1 = \frac{0.750 (0.250)^2}{3} = 0.0156 kg m^2

I_2 = m(\frac{L}{2})^2 = 0.0019(0.125)^2 = 2.97 \times 10^{-5} kg m^2

now from above equation

0.0019 (385)(0.125) = (0.0156 + 2.97 \times 10^{-5})\omega

\omega = 5.85 rad/s

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
Nata [24]

The frequency of a sound is whatever frequency leaves the source. It doesn't change.

Voiced of swimmers at the pool don't change frequency in or out of the water. Only their speed and wavelength change.

Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. They are also very hard to touch. Noble gases and non metals are the exact opposite in physical and chemical properties. Metals readily react with oxygen.

const2013 [10]

Answer: M.A = 3

Explanation:

A ramp is an example of an inclined plain. Where the

Height H = 1.5 m

Length L = 4.5 m

Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load to effort. While mechanical advantage M.A of an inclined plain is the ratio of the length of the plain to the height of the plain.

M.A = L/H

Substitute the values of L and H into the formula

M.A = 4.5/1.5 = 3

The mechanical advantage of the ramp is 3
