Apopulation of birds lives on a small island. another population of the same species lives on the mainland. the distance between the island and the mainland is too great for birds to fly back and forth. recently, a series of sandbars and tiny islands have formed between the island and the mainland. what is the most likely effect of this? an increase in mutations in both bird populations an increase in gene flow between the bird populations an increase in genetic drift between the bird populations an increase in mutations in the island population

B

An increase in gene flow between the birds populations

B

Explanation:

the element that provides strength to the exoskeletons of clams and oysters is phosphorus. this is so because calcium carbonate is the main component in the shells.

explanation:

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
