Answer:

separation of populations has led to the evolution of new species

Explanation:

When the populations evolve to become distinct species, then this process is termed as speciation.
Speciation can occur due to various reasons and one of these reasons is geographic isolation that leads to separation fo the populations which then faces different evolutionary pressure and thus evolve into new species.
In the Hawaiin islands, there are different species of honeycreepers because of the unique geology of Hawaii due to which new volcanic islands are constantly being formed and eroded which leads to the separation of population and their evolution into new species.

An mRNA sequence reads: GAA/GCU/AUA/CUA/UGU. What would the effect on the amino acid be if the second codon read GCA instead, an

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

D) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from ILE to ASN.

Explanation:

Silent mutations are usually point mutation where you change one nucleotide. Since, the nucleotide changed is the third position, it does not affect the protein being manufactured (it will still put the amino acid Ala) [look up the codon redundancy on youtub.e to understand how awesome nature is!]

On the other hand, the other mutation introduced is Missense mutation where a different Amino acid is added due to change in codon (goes from ILE to ASN).

8. The letter p in the term pH stands for the German word

pychu [463]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

Per the above explanation, pH means "power of hydrogen ions."

The concentration of hydrogen ions is a measure of the acidity of a solution. A higher concentration represents a more acidic solution.

The definition of pH is

pH = -log[H⁺]

Thus, pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration.

The more negative the pH, the greater the Potenz of hydrogen ions.
