Which reproductive isolating mechanism is most likely responsible for the divergence of bonobos and chimpanzees?

1 answer:

7 0

The reproductive isolating mechanism most likely responsible for the divergence of bonobos and chimpanzees is ECOLOGICAL ISOLATION.
The ecological mechanism of reproductive isolation is also known as TEMPORAL ISOLATION or HABITAT ISOLATION. This includes the barrier for reproduction that leads to isolation such as different habitats or any physical barriers.

The color changes from clear to blue, then once heated to orange.

I did this experiment not too long ago so hopefully this helps! (:

How do sodium and potassium leak channels play a role in the development of the negative membrane potential of the axolemma (pla

kirza4 [7]

The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

In horses, the Overo gene, Ov, produces a white splotch pattern on the coat. The overo phenotype is seen only when a horse has one Ov copy, Ovov. Horses with two Ov copies, OvOv, die soon after birth are called white overo because they are completely white. Horses with no Ov copies are solid colored, ovov.

The Leopard complex gene, Lp, shows incomplete dominance and controls white spotting. One Lp allele, Lplp, produces the leopard phenotype, in which there are spots everywhere. Two Lp alleles, LpLp, produce the fewspot phenotype, in which the horse is mostly white with colored spots.

A horse that is both overo and leopard is called pintaloosa, and these horses are spotted with splotches. A horse that is overo and fewspot is considered fewspot because the white areas from Lp is indistinguishable from the white from Ov.

Suppose that 16 pairs of pintaloosa horses have one offpring per pair. How many each phenotype would be expected? Determine the number out of 16 expected for each phenotype. Only count phenotypes of offspring expected to live past one week of age.

overo:

white overo:

fewspot:

Answer: Overo: 2

White overo: 0

Fewspot: 3

Explanation: Pintaloosa is a "combination" of overo and leopard, so the pair's genotype is OvovLplp.

To cross a pair, use Punnet Square and to facilitate, use the square for each characteristics:

Punnett Square For overo and white overo:

Ov ov

Ov OvOv Ovov

ov Ovov ovov

Analysing this Punnett square, notice that there are 2 individuals who will carry the genotype for overo (Ovov) phenotype. So, 2 out of the 16 pair will have an overo phenotype.

Since white overo is recessive (ovov) and doesn't survive past birth, there will be zero horses with that phenotype.

Punnett Square For leopard and fewspot:

Lp lp

Lp LpLp Lplp

lp Lplp lplp

From this square, notice that there are 1 individual who is fewspot. However, a horse that is overo and fewspot is considered fewspot, so for the 16 pair, 3 out 16 will be fewspot.
