Two genes separated by a speciation event are:
Homologs |
||
Paralogs |
||
Orthologs |
||
A & C |
||
None of the above |
Answer :- A and C i.e Homologs and Orthologs.
Explanation :- Speciation is a lineage-splitting evolutionary process that produces two or more separate species. It refers to the creation of new and distinct biological species by branching of from ancestral population. It occurs when gene flow is reduced sufficiently between sister population.
In this speciation event basically done by the separation of Homologs and they are known as Orthologs. Because we know that genes in two different species which comes from common ancestor known as Homologs and here the speciation is the creation of two species from one species . So speciation occur by the separation of Homologs.
On the other hand copies of a particular gene in two different species are known as Orthologs. And we can see that in speciation is the creation of two species from one species , so obviously in those two species contain copy of a particular gene.
So from the above discussion we can conclude that speciation basically occur by the separation of Homologs which are called as Orthologs.
