A species of fish known as Astyanax mexicanus lives in deep underground caves off the coast of Mexico. It is virtually blind. Th

A. One type will become extinct.

B. They will become separate species.

C. They will interbreed and exhibit only the dominant trait.

D. One type will mutate to become more like the other.

Answer: B. They will become separate species.

Explanation:

Speciation is a process by which a new species develop from the existing species. Speciation occurs when the members of the same species get separated due to geographical, behavioral, temporal isolation these organisms becomes incapable of breeding among themselves results in the formation of population of distinct species.

In the given situation, this can be said that two species exhibit adaptations and features according to their habitat. Like the one which is residing in the underground caves is virtually blind as the cave water may remain unexposed to the sunlight therefore, in darkness no eye sight is required. But when the members of the same species live in surface waters they exhibited fully functioning eyes. These functioning eyes will help them to find food and escape from the predators. The fishes living in the caves and those living in near the surface are geographically isolated. Hence, this isolation will promote speciation.

B. They will become separate species.

Both traits are advantageous, so neither will take the trait of the other randomly. There is no reason to think either will necessarily go extinct.

Why does it make metabolic sense for the same hormone signal to stimulate glycogenolysis and inhibit glycolysis in the liver whi
Debora [2.8K]

This is because if the two  metabolic processes were to be  active at at the same time;  

Two molecules of<u> ATPs</u> and <u>Guanosine triphophate </u>(sometimes used for  energy transport) <u>will be expended per each cycle, with no  compensatory rate  of replacements present  at the moment in the cell,this  affects cell metabolism for energy availability</u>

<u>2</u> Both<u> Glycolysis and Gluconeogensis </u>are both<u> exergonic processes  in cells. </u> The  heat energy liberated from these Calorinogenic effects  will be higher than what the natural thermodynamic barrier of cells can withstand. Consequently;  the heat will raise temperature of the cells affecting metabolic activities of hormones and enzymes which are (proteins) ,and easily denature by high temperatures.    

However, in muscles cells,gluconeogeneis is a compensasory process of Glycolysis. This because during active exercise with high metabolic demand in muscles cells, glucose is rapidly metabolise  to to pyruvate,(but not at the rate that the Citric acid  cycle can  metabolise) for Lactic acid production by muscles cells for energy production.  Pyruvate must be broken down rapidly so that NAD+ will be available for  Glycolysis to continue. Therefore  to sustain Glycolysis at this rate  continuous supply of glucose is supplied  from Gluconeogenesis.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Genetic mapping for unequivocal identification of the potentially causative mutation  

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of galactose. Gene mapping is a technique widely used in genetics to identify the position of one locus a chromosome by using molecular markers to estimate genetic distances. Genetic mapping provides useful evidence in order to identify when a disease that is transmitted from parent to offspring can be associated with one or more genes and then determine which gene/s is/are responsible for this condition.

How do the simplest bacteria relate to the most complex animal?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

As you probably already know, all of the cells in your body started from a single cell. That single cell then divided many, many times to turn into the 50 trillion or so cells that make up you. Almost all of the cells in your body share the same DNA as was found in that first cell

The components that make up the genetic code are common to all organisms! Same NUCLEOTIDES, same BACKBONE same BASE-PAIRS, same HYDROGEN BONDS! The instructions for making proteins (and traits) are in the sequence of nucleotides! These are the GENES that hold our similarities or differences
