When a population is split into smaller groups, why do these groups develop different traits? apex

a. gene flow is increased in the two subgroups that are formed.

b. mutation that arise in one group are not passed to the other group through reproduction.

c. traits that form in one group from evolutionary forces quickly spread through both populations.

d. spreading the two groups decreases the chances that the two groups will diverge.

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
