Apopulation of tree climbing lizards live on one bank of a large river. the other bank of the river is treeless prairie. during a flood 40 lizards were transferred to the prairie side of the river. after 200 generations this transfer population of lizards lost ability to climb. which mechanismbis most likely reaponsible gor thia loss if fuction within the transferred population?

The correct answer would be speciation.

Speciation refers to the gradual process by which the population gets evolved into different species.

As the lizard population went to the treeless area, they faced new areas and niches.

The selection pressure of this area is different from that of their previous habitat. As there were no trees thus, they did not require the ability to climb the trees.

In addition, different variations accumulated over several generations which led to the formation of new species which was not able to climb the trees.

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and   breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
