Two species of antelope, one from africa, the other from asia, are put into the same enclosure in a zoo. to the zookeeper's surprise, individuals of the different species begin to mate and produce healthy, hybrid baby antelopes. explain why a biologist might not view these offspring as evidence that the two species of antelope are in fact one.

Allopatric speciation

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation refers to the rise of new distinct species of offspring from parental organisms that DO NOT live in the same territory, that is geographically isolated and thus unable to crossbreed.

Definitely, the emergence of healthy and hybrid offsprings from the TWO species of antelope, from Africa and Asia, breed together in the Zoo could be explained by ALLOPATRIC SPECIATION.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
