8. Glut4 receptors transported to cell membrane
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A group or member of a species would overtime become differentiated from the original species that originate from if they occupy a different niche that has a different and unique environmental conditions. In an attempt to adopt to the condition of the new environment, they would develop specific features. For example, the honeycreepers having a bill that are well adapted to eat certain foods.
Therefore, the most likely conclusion the scientist would make is D.
