"A researcher claims that the Makira Island and the Santa Ana Island flycatchers are diverging into different species. Identify

TWO potential prezygotic barriers that may be contributing to the divergence and speciation of these two populations of birds. Identify ONE piece of evidence that would indicate that speciation has already occurred within the flycatcher populations."

<h2>Prezygotic barriers </h2>

Explanation:

Two potential prezygotic barriers that may be contributing to the divergence and speciation of these two populations of flycatchers are behavioral isolation and habitat isolation

  • A prezygotic reproductive barrier is a mechanism that prevents fertilization from occurring
  • Behavioral isolation means many species perform different mating rituals for reproduction,for example mating calls of both flycatchers may be different
  • Habitat isolation is a type of prezygotic barrier in which two species that could interbreed because the species live in different areas,here in this case flycatchers are living on two different islands and hence cannot mate which results into divergence of two different species

Evidence that would indicate that speciation has already occurred within the flycatcher populations is geographic patterns which resulted into allopatric speciation

  • Flycatchers are isolated from each other by geographical barriers because they are located on two different islands
  • As they are geographically isolated from each other speciation which occurs is allopatric

The diagram below represents levels of organization in living things. Which term would best represent X?
Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is C. Tissue

Explanation:

In the diagram, x is between organ and cell level. This implies this level of organization is smaller than an organ but no as small as one cell. In this context, the most suitable term to add to this level is a tissue because these are structures composed of specialized cells, which shows this level encloses cells. Also, a group of tissues forms an organ; this implies the organ is the level that follows the tissue. Examples of this include muscle tissue composed of muscle cells and that is part of organs including the heart.

As a result of dog breeding for certain physical traits, many dog breeds have changed in the last 100 years. A dog breeder wants
juin [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Statistical Hypothesis".

Explanation:

Given the example, the breeder wants to find the relationship between the two variables which are the effects of bredding and the face length of the boxer breed. He/She is using the statistics of the face length from the years 1915 and 2015 so the type of hypothesis that should be used is "Statistical Hypothesis" which is used when the hypothesis can be verified statistically. I hope this answer helps.

Explain whether you think judy's family occurrences of breast and ovarian cancers are sporadic, hereditary, or familial.
AlladinOne [14]
Sporadic cancer is cancer by chance, there is no relative with the same type of cancer. Familial Cancer, on the other hand, is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Hereditary cancer, moreover, happens when a defective gene is passed from parent to child. Breast and ovarian cancer fall under hereditary cancer though it does not mean that if either of the parents have these types of cancer, the offspring will definitely acquire it. If either of the parents has the defective gene for breast or ovarian cancer, the offspring has higher chances of having the aforementioned cancer.

The transport of molecules of a particular solute from inside an animal cell across the cell membrane to the extracellular fluid
Leona [35]

Answer:

the concentration of the solute is lower inside the cell than outside it

Explanation:

This question depicts the process of ACTIVE TRANSPORT, which is the movement of a substance against concentration gradient, hence, requires energy input (ATP) to occur. In this case, transporting a solute from inside an animal cell to the extracellular fluid across the cell membrane always requires energy.

This is because the concentration of solute inside the cell is much lower than that of the extracellular fluid, hence, to move the solutes against this concentration gradient (low to high), energy in form of ATP is required.
