There is an island in the middle of a large river that houses a large population of ants. Damming of the river causes the island

to flood and only the highest points of the island are now above water. The ants cannot swim, so are now in multiple isolated populations. Which of the following best describes this event?
A) This situation represents isolation by vicariance.
B) This situation represents isolation by dispersal.
C) This situation represents a form of s
D) Speciation will not occur in this case because of gene flow
E) Only a rare development of polyploidy could lead to speciation in this case.

Answer:

Answer is A. this situation represents isolation by vicariance.

Explanation:

Isolation by vicariance is known to occur when a large population of an organism is divided or broken up, because a barrier suddenly appeared. This situation usually affect the flow of the genes, that is characters , which will occur through natural selection.

In this case, the flood that occurred, through the damming of the water, is the barrier that occurred suddenly, which separated the population of the ants, and will or may automatically prevent transfer of characters.

The major difference between starch, glycogen, and cellulose and their adjacent glucose subunits is the ________.
sveta [45]

Answer:

<u>Starch</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Cellulose </u>is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Glycogen</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.

Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.

Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.

Current studies on frogs and wildlife indicate that hormonally active agents (HAAs) are __________. a. found in insecticides and
melomori [17]

The right answer is A.

The term "hormonally active agent" (or endocrine disruptor) refers to any molecule or compound chemical agent, xenobiotic having hormono-mimetic properties and described as a cause of physiological abnormalities, and in particular reproductive abnormalities. Some examples are PCB, TCDD, DDT. Some of them were used as pesticides and are now banned for use. Their traces always exist at the soil level due to their persistence.

These agents are most often associated with breast cancer.
