You are studying primates in West Africa and discover a small population of monkeys in an isolated forest. They resemble a species that lives about 50 kilometers away, across a river. The main difference appears to be white tufts of fur underneath the ears in the new population you've found. What evolutionary mechanism probably explains this difference?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Geographical isolation

Explanation:

The evolutionary mechanism that can probably explain the difference, in this case, is geographical isolation.

Geographical isolation represents one of the reproductive isolation mechanisms - an array of physiological and behavioural processes that leads to speciation in living organisms.

Geographical isolation refers to the separation of organisms of the same species in terms of physical geographical features such as distance, mountains, water bodies, etc. The separation causes each group to take different adaptive paths, eventually leading to speciation, that is, they become separate species.

In this case, the small population of monkeys in the isolated forest must have been geographically isolated from their counterparts in some ways back. They took a different adaptive path from the larger group as a result of geographical difference and eventually became a new species.

HELP PLEASEEE!! 10 points and BRAINLIEST!! 2. Honey Bees may be headed for extinction.
Why do you think this is happening? (Things
to think about: habitat destruction, erosion,
pollution, invasive species, human impact.)

Answers

Answer:

Well the most common is habittat destruction. With the number of humans only growing, more land is needed and habitat desturctions occur. Lack of food is also a problem, as some crops don’t grow as much so the bee’s food source is smaller which leaves thousands dead. Also if the food source doesn’t run out, there are pesticides sprayed and the bees will die if eaten one which the chemical properties in a pesticide will kill. Also if not used, littering, if you dump it into a water source, the water gets contaminated and the bees could die from that, or the water spreads ano the flower would receive this chemical property, which could kill the Bee’s food source, or the flower doesn’t die but when the bees consume it, the bee will die.

honey bees Extinction types are parasites ,habitat loss ,and cell phones. but there two main types of parasites that are harming the honeybees are Vero mites and tracheal

In general, embolism occur: a. in the vessel elements and tracheids after turgor loss point through air-seeding across pit membranes b. in vessel elements only, after turgor loss point through air-seeding across pit membranes c. in the vessel elements and tracheids after turgor loss point through air-seeding across plasmodesmata d. in vessel elements only, after turgor loss point through air-seeding across plasmodesmata

Answers

Answer:

b. in vessel elements only, after turgor loss point through air-seeding across pit membranes

Explanation:

As in humans, embolism can happen in plants. In the case of plants, embolism occurs only in the elements of the vessel, after the point of loss of the turgor through the propagation of air through the membranes of the pits, in other words, the embolism occurs when there is air filling the empty spaces of the xylem (element of vase), creating air bubbles.

These air bubbles block the xylem's work in transporting water from the root to the other parts of the plants, that is, it reduces the plant's ability to absorb water from the soil, thus preventing the plant from carrying out not only photosynthesis, but numerous metabolic processes essential for your body to survive.
