The biological species concept tells us that organisms belong to the same species if they can breed to produce fertile and viable offspring. Speciation is therefore the development of reproductive isolation between individuals of an original population.
This can occur in 2 different ways:
1. Allopatric speciation. This is when speciation occurs due to some sort of geographic barrier separates a population into 2 groups. These two groups can then undergo genetic divergence, where each group grows increasingly dissimilar genetically due to random mutations and natural selection acting separately in each group, or from processes such as genetic drift. It is important to recognize that the lack of gene flow between these two groups contributes to the genetic divergence of the groups. Genetic divergence can lead to prezygotic and post-zygotic barriers which prevent production of fertile/viable offspring between the 2 groups. Each of these populations now represents a new species, whose gene pools are completely separate from one another.
2. Sympatric speciation. This is when speciation occurs without the presence of any sort of physical/geographical barriers. Truthfully, this is a much less common occurence. However, it is thought that sympatric speciation can occur as a result of strong divergent selection. Sympatric speciation may also occur as a result of a polyploid individual being introduced into a diploid population.
Isolation leads to speciation by preventing gene flow between 2 groups of an original population, allowing genetic differences between the groups to accumulate over time (via natural selection, genetic drift, etc.). Over time, the accumulation of these genetic differences may result in reproductive isolation between the 2 groups, causing these two groups to be committed to separate evolutionary paths.
Answer: So, how might speciation happen?
Explanation:
Speciation describes a situation where a population in a species becomes so different that it can no longer successfully interbreed with other populations of the ‘same’ species.

Can the carrying capacity of an ecosystem change?
Answer:
no the carrying capacity of an ecosystem can't change
it is literally impossible hope it helps you have a good day please mark me as brain list
Answer:
No carrying capacity of an ecosystem doesn't change.
Explanation:
Each organism that lives there will have a different carrying capacity, one that interacts with everything around it. If the climate changes and the resources a particular animal needs for food drop, for example, that change in carrying capacity for one species will affect other populations in the area.

i'm working on a lab report on water erosion on edg lol
pls help i'm so behind
is it okay??
Some facts about Water erosion :
Water erosion is the detachment and removal of soil material by water. The process may be natural or accelerated by human activity. ... Water erosion wears away the earth's surface. Sheet erosion is the more-or-less uniform removal of soil from the surface.
Water and Wind Erosion (cause)
Water erosion is the removal of soil by water and transportation of the eroded materials away from the point of removal. Water action due to rain erodes the soil and causes activities like gully, rill, and stream erosion leading to the downstream effects of flooding and sedimentation.

1. Elaborar resumen del texto sobre los estados de la materia( usar alguna estrategia: mapa mental, conceptual, historia, cuento)
Answer:
Sólido, líquido, gas y plasma.
Explicación:
Materia son las sustancias que ocupan espacio y tienen peso. Hay cuatro estados de la materia, es decir, sólido, líquido, gas y plasma. Todos los materiales presentes en este universo en estos cuatro estados. Los estados de la materia cambian con el aumento o la disminución de la temperatura del material. si la materia sólida se calienta, se derrite y cambia a estado líquido y luego gaseoso mientras que, por otro lado, la temperatura decreciente conduce a la condensación y congelación de la materia que causa el cambio de estado gaseoso a líquido y sólido. El plasma está formado por un gas de iones, átomos o moléculas.

Which statement best explains how tectonic activity affects long-term climate change?
Volcanic eruptions change Earth’s tilt, which is responsible for the seasons.
The movement of continents changes wind patterns and ocean currents.
The change in Earth’s elliptical orbit around the Sun causes climate change.
The increase of sunspots increases Earth’s temperature.
Answer: The movement of continents changes wind patterns and ocean currents.
hope this helps!
Explanation:
The best statement that describe the effect of tectonic activity on climate change is that the movement of continents changes wind patterns and ocean currents.
What are tectonic activities?Tectonic activities includes volcanoes, mountain building, earthquakes and many more.
Tectonic activities are common in plate boundaries where plates converge, diverge or transform.
As a result of the movement of these continental plate, tectonic activities occurs causing earth climate change
Therefore, the movement of this oceanic or continental plates changes the wind pattern and ocean current.
