Answer 1
Answer:

A single coconut is carried to a remote island in the Pacific Ocean by water currents would be least likely to lead to speciation.

What is speciation?

"Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created."

When speciation occurs?

"Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics."

What are the main factors of speciation?

The factors responsible for speciation are:

  1. Geographical barrier.
  2. Natural selection.
  3. Genetic drift.
  4. Large mutation.

What are the types of speciation?

There are five types of speciation:

  1. allopatric,
  2. peripatric,
  3. parapatric,
  4. sympatric,
  5. artificial.

In the nineteenth century, what was known about atoms? A. The atom determines the chemical property of an element.  B. The exact structure of all atoms  C. The half-life of all atoms  D. The number of atoms that exist in the world is increasing.​

Answers

Answer:

     A. The atom determines the chemical property of an element.

Explanation:

An atom is made up protons, electrons and neutrons. The atoms valance electrons determine its chemical properties. For example, Na has 1 valance electron. Na just like all other alkali elements lose that one outermost electron to form a cation thus gaining an octet. Because of the one valance electron, alkali elements show metallic property and other chemical properties. If an atom has an unstable nucleus then it becomes radioactive.

Answer:

 A. The atom determines the chemical property of an element.

Can u help with tee rock part and plz asap I really need help

Answers

half-life = time in which half of material is lost

1/4 = 1/2 x 1/2 so 2 half lives have gone by if only 1/4 of it is left.

age of rock = 2 x half life = 2x1.3 = 2.6 billion years.
Here, Left amount of Uranium = 1/4

So, Number of Half lives gone by = 1/2 / 1/4 = 2

Life after 1 half-life = 1.3 billion years
So, With 2 half-lives, it would be: 1.3 * 2 = 2.6 billion years

In short, The Rock is 2.6 billion Years Old

Hope this helps!
