What is gene flow

Gene flow is genes moving between two populations.

the transfer of genes from one gene pool to another

two populations transferring genes

How many kingdoms are there in the domain Archaea

1

Why are archaea in a different domain from bacteria

They are thought to have separate paths of evolutionary development.

They developed along different evolutionary paths.

They had independent evolutionary development.

How are organisms in the domain Eukarya different from those in the domain Archaea

Eukaryotes have a nucleus, Archaea do not

Archaea have DNA that is not in a nucleus

Eukaryotes have organelles in membranes.

Archaea have no membranes around their organelles.

they both have a cell wall.

What causes a branch in a cladogram

Derived trait.

What is an effect of adaptive radiation

Speciation Adaptive radiation refers to changes in a species in response to varying environmental conditions.

many new species form

Which is an example of genetic drift

The distribution of alleles changes due to random chance.

or

The allele frequency of a population changes due to a bottleneck effect. <apex>

Which type of organism developed first

Single celled organisms are the type of organism that developed first. More complex multi-cellular organisms developed not long after this.

Which is an example of vestigial structure

Your coccyx is a vestigial structure that once extended into a tail, though now it is part of the pelvic girdle. Some children still develop tails in very rare circumstances.

What two problems did the development of a vascular system solve for land plants

Conduction and firmness

What was formed when biological material became me trapped in a molecular bubble

Protobionts

What contains the information for the traits and characteristics of an organism Is it chloroplast

No it is not chloroplasts (they are involved in plant photosynthesis). The cell nucleus contains the information for the traits and characteristics of an organism in the form of DNA encoding genes.

Why are two sets of faces during Meiosis but only one during mitosis

The process of cell division, be it Meiosis or Mitosis, does not form sets of faces. A face (eyes, nose mouth ears on a head) is a product of a complete organism's genetic expression using many cell divisions.
