Answer:

Option B, Mammals and reptiles in the post-dinosaur age.

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation is mechanism through which species evolve very fast from common single ancestors. In simple words two different species are said to have evolved through adaptive radiation when they have descended from a single lineage. This is not the case with mammals and reptiles.

Generally in adaptive radiation, a species evolve when it faces new environmental challenges due to change of habitat or area. For example mammals have evolved from dinosaurs.

Hence, option B is correct

Where does nad+ deliver electrons compared to fad in cellular respiration?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "NADH delivers its electrons to complex I and FADH₂ deliver its electrons to complex II" in cellular respiration.

There are mainly four complexes associated with electron transport chain of cellular respiration.

Complex I or NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase is the complex at which NADH is oxidized to form NAD⁺. The free electrons are transported with the help of ubiquinone.

Complex II or succinate dehydrogenase is the complex associated with oxidation of FADH₂ to FAD⁺. It also transports the free electrons with the help of the ubiquinone pool.

Complex III or cytochrome bc1 complex transport free electrons from ubiquinone to the cytochrome C which is a water-soluble electron carrier.

Complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase transport the free electrons to oxygen to form water.
