The open ocean is among the least productive ecosystems, yet it contributes greatly to the overall productivity of the biosphere. How do you explain this paradox?

Which of the following factors would not contribute to allopatric speciation? a) a population becomes geographically isolated from the parent population.b) the separated population is small, and genetic drift occurs.c) the isolated population is exposed to different selection pressures than the ancestral population.d) different mutations begin to distinguish the gene pools of the separated populations.e) gene flow between the two populations is extensive.

Recombinant dna is the merging of dna from unrelated organisms to create new genetic varieties is assembled in the lab from mononucleotides was part of the green revolution of the 1960s is pollination of one plant by another of the same species is cross-pollination of one plant by a different species

The images show two species of tree frogs in a particular region. the gray tree frogs are adapted to the trees of the woodlands, while the green tree frogs can survive in woodlands or grasslands. the gray frog was abundant in the woodlands. because of climatic changes, most of the trees in the region died, and the woodlands changed to grasslands. in such a case, the . the gray tree frog is closely related to the green tree frog genetically, but they have different mating calls. this suggests that speciation occurred because of .
