In a hypothetical situation, a certain species of aphid feeds only on sugar maple trees. In forests of the eastern United States, sugar maples are only one of a number of different tree species. If some of the aphids develop a strong preference for feeding on Black Walnut trees and mate only with other aphids that prefer black walnut trees, then over time, which of the following processes should occur. (Remember, the host species can be considered the aphids' "habitat."): 1.reproductive isolation 2.allopatric speciation 3.habitat isolation 4.prezygotic barriersv

Options for the questions are not given. They are as follows :

A ) 1,2,3

B) 2,3

C)1 ,3, 4

D)1

E) 1 through 4

C) 1,3,4

Explanation:

Some aphids make black walnut trees their habitat in the forest and only prefer to mate with aphids who have the same habitat. This is an example of reproductive isolation since these aphids now have different mating preferences and hence are isolated from rest of the aphids. The isolation occurred on the basis of difference in habitats so it is also an example of habitat isolation. Since the mating is prevented all together it is also an example of prezygotic barrier i.e. formation of zygote is inhibited. However, it is not an example of allopatric speciation since the aphids are not separated geographically from each other. They are present in the same area but have different habitat preference. Hence, option C is correct answer.

the answer is c. altitude. hope this ! #brainiac

the potatoes have high sugar concentrations and although these potatoes were different we could seethe effects that their sugar concentrations had in different environments. for example, the potatoes in sample a, were placed in pure water. this created a hypertonic environment and caused the potatoes to draw in water from its surroundings. we saw the opposite happen with the potatoes in sample b when placed in the sodium chloride solution. the potatoes in this case were in a hypotonic solution and therefore lost water to their surroundings.
