A scientist finds what she thinks is a new species of rodent on a small Pacific island. However, some similar-looking rodents in

habit some nearby islands. She mates the new rodent with the nearby rodents and gets viable but infertile offspring. Why?
Question 15 options:

The old and new rodents underwent vicariance, and their hybrid offspring were sterilized by adaptive radiation.

The new rodents probably derive from fairly recent ancestors that experienced dispersive allopatric speciation.*

The new and old rodents are both allopolyploid after undergoing sympatric speciation.

The answer to the given question above would be the second option. Based on the given scenario above, the reason why the new rodent with the nearby rodents and gets viable but infertile offspring is that the <span>new rodents probably derive from fairly recent ancestors that experienced dispersive allopatric speciation. Hope this helps.</span>

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Dispersive allopatric speciation,  geographically move apart the population of any species  thereby restricting gene flow between the sub-populations  

These genetic difference accumulate and with time and cause genetic drift and variable selection pressures on the subpopulations.

This causes the separation up to an extent that even if the organisms from these two sub-populations are some how brought close to each other , they will yet not interact with each other and would remain two genetically distinct populations. The differences in mating preference and hybrid inferiority keep these sub-population separate from each other.  

Hence, option B is correct

Which regions best identifies where myosin would have maximum cross-bridge access to actin?
8090 [49]
<h2>Region between 2 and 3</h2>

Explanation:

Muscles consists of two protein filaments:a thick filament which is made up of protein myosin whereas a thin filament is made up of protein actin

  • During contraction,thin filaments slide past the thick filament resulting in shortening of sarcomere
  • Myosin thick filaments grab on to the actin filaments by forming cross bridges
  • The thick filaments pull the thin filaments past them making the sarcomere shorter
  • The region between points 2 and 3 includes the area of overlap between thin and thick filaments

Calculate the average rate of change in corn yield from 1964 to 2008 (Round to the nearest whole number.)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

In 1964 2.6 bales per hectare while in 2008, 380 bushels per hectare.

Explanation:

in 1964, the average corn yield was 2.6 bales per hectare which is equals to 570 kg per hectare while in 2008, the average yield of corn was 380 bushels per hectare which is equals to 9655 kg per hectare. This increase in the productivity of corn crop is due to advancement of technology, high yielding seed varieties and reduces post harvest losses. The yield of 2008 is 17 times higher than 1964.

In exocytosis, the membrane package fuses with _____.a transport protein a gap junction the nucleus the cell membrane
Maksim231197 [3]
Exocytosis is a procedure by which a cell transports secretory items through the cytoplasm to the plasma film. Secretory items are bundled into transport vesicles. In exocytosis, the one that fuses with the membrane package is the cell membrane. The membrane is transported to the cell membrane and the water molecules are released into the extracellular environment.
