The researchers discovered that the 12 populations could be organized into 3 distinct species. Populations a, b, and c each belong to a different species. Use the data in the grid to sort each population to the species to which it belongs.
Species 1
Species 2
Species 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We see how that the grid locks down the allelic flow distribution across population.
In population genetics , gene flow concept is one we examine as gene migration or allele flow and it tracks the transfer of genetic variation from one population to another.
On the basis of the distribution of the gene flow data in the grid figure below
populations A, D, F, H, I, and K matches as one species,
populations B, E, and L matches as the second species,
and populations C, G, and J belong to a third species.
There are some barriers to gene flow that serves to keep different species separate while a species is referred to as unique or said to have integrity because of a maintained gene flow between its populations.
Gene flow is the bridge between the following;
• Populations with large distancing e.g A & K
• Populations that do not directly interbreed
• Differing populations with gene exchange possibility.
