Apopulation of squirrels lived together in a forest. an event occurred that caused the population to diverge into two different species over a long period of time. which of the following is most likely the event that occurred?

a) there was an increase in the predators in the forest.

b) a natural disaster occurred that separated squirrels.

c) the winters were unusually cold in the forest.

d) a disease affected the squirrel population in the forest.

Which of the following would most likely be key to gathering evidence that the rna world hypothesis is valid? creation of suitable environments for long-term study of single-celled organisms simulation of early earth conditions and long-term study of the resulting molecules development of a system for studying the microsphere's ability to absorb additional molecules categorization of the different specific conditions that result in the development of microspheres

Rease is an enzyme used by plants to break down urea (a nitrogen-containing compound) into carbon dioxide and ammonia. urease urea > > > carbon dioxide and ammonia ammonia is broken down by plants into a nitrogen source plants need to grow. thus, plants could not use urea as a nitrogen source unless it was first converted to ammonia. in soybean plants there are two different kinds of urease, one produced in the seeds and the other produced in the leaves of the plant. three types of soybean plants were used in a set of experiments: normal soybeans and two mutant strains, one lacking the urease in the seeds only (strain 1) and one lacking urease in the leaves only (strain 2). experiment 1 separate areas in a field were planted with normal, strain 1, and strain 2 soybeans. all types of soybeans appeared to grow, flower, and produce seeds equally well. there were no externally detectable differences among the strains. experiment 2 small pieces of plant leaves of equal weight were obtained from each type of soybean plant and separately placed on media in culture dishes. tissue growing in this way will become an unorganized clump of cells referred to as callus. to provide a controlled nitrogen source, half the tissue samples of each type were placed on media containing urea, and the other half of the samples were placed on media containing ammonia. after 30 days, the weight gain for each of the callus samples was determined. results are shown in the table below.

Directions: read the descriptions of the four islands presented in the lesson. 1. list two new traits that each new species of rat might demonstrate as it adapts to the conditions on each island. 2. introduce one of the four new rat species to another island and describe one challenge it would encounter and one success as it adapts to its new environment.
