Genetic data suggests many frog species that live in Madagascar and India share a common ancestor that lived on the India-Madagascar landmass. Which statement best describes the divergence of frog species found in India and Madagascar?
a) breeding preferences of the frogs prevented interbreeding between frogs, resulting in new speciesb) geographic separation led to divergence in the gene pool, resulting in new speciesc) the frog species occupied different habitats within the same geographic areas, resulting in new speciesd) different mating seasons led to the divergence of the gene pool, resulting in new species

Genetic data suggests many frog species that live in Madagascar and India share a common ancestor that lived on the India-Madagascar landmass is best described by

(b)Geographic separation led to divergence in the gene pool, resulting in a new species

Explanation:

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
