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

Burka [1]

This scientific law is called as Law of conservation of energy.

Sun is the primary source of energy .Energy once produced by the sun is then utilized by the organisms at various tropic levels. The energy is transferred from one organism to another. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. This is called as law of conservation of energy. Plants uses sunlight and make food   and the energy is then transferred to organisms eating it. When the organism dies the energy is released into the environment. This cycle continues and the the law of conservation of energy is maintained.

Answer:

(2) 988.5 mb.

Explanation:

The air pressure descends as we ascend. In other words, they are inversely proportional.

The air pressure descends as we ascend the mountain because the air molecules that are above us in high altitudes are fewer than the number of air molecules that are above us in the base of the mountain. So, the exerted pressure of the molecules on ourselves is lower in high altitudes.

Due to the reason mentioned above, we can deduce that the only correct option is option number two since the other ones show increasing or the same pressure, which is not possible as we ascend.

miskamm [114]
The bones of the middle ear relay vibrations received from the ear drum. The ear drum is a thin conical membrane between the internal and external ear that perceives sounds from outside and gives it distinctiveness based on number of vibrations, which if further relayed to the brain through various organs. It is also called the tympanic membrane or myringia.
