Answer:
II. meiosis
III. fertilization
IV. gametes
Explanation:
Gamete formation and fertilization are the processes performed by all the sexually reproducing organisms. Gametes are the cells that are formed in the male and female sexual organs of these organisms. Formation of gametes occurs by meiosis and therefore, the gametes of a diploid organism are always haploid.
Male and female gametes fuse during the process of fertilization and form the zygote which in turn divide repeatedly to produce an embryo. For instance, sperms and eggs are the male and female gametes that are formed in testes and ovaries of male and female human individuals respectively. The fusion of sperm and egg produces a zygote that finally develops into a young one.

Answer:
Biotic: <em>Food availability</em>
Abiotic: <em>Temperature</em>
Explanation:
There are two types of limiting factors for biodiversity: biotic and abiotic. Biotic refers to living things, for example, organisms that are an important food source. <u>Most animal life forms in the ocean highly depend on the availability of a food source</u>. If food is limited or scarce, the populations of a given species could face significant declines.
On the other hand, there are abiotic factors, which refer to factors that are not alive, such as physical factors. For instance, temperature and light. <u>For marine organisms, temperature is a critical factor.</u> Even an increase of 'only' 1 ºC could make a huge difference in the survival of a species as it could disrupt their ability to forage, hunt, or perform physiological processes, <em>e.g.</em> metabolism.
Therefore, <u>if we refer to a biotic factor, food availability is a limiting factor for most animal life in the open ocean, whereas, if the refer to an abiotic factor, temperature (and light) are limiting factors for pelagic life.</u>
The introduction of the Asian Clam in Lake George is an example of an Invasive Species.
Asian Clam are small in size, hardly 1.5 inches long. However, they can reproduce very quickly without the need for a partner. A single clam can give birth to hundreds of offspring in a single day without a mate.
Asian Clam is extremely unpleasant for most fresh water bodies since it excretes nutrients such as nitrogen.
This helps in the development of algae and gives off a foul stink.
