Geographical isolation can be defined to a population of plants, animals or some other organism that is separated by the exchange of genetic materials with other organism of the same species.

Geographical isolation is the caused intentionally or by coincidence. Gene flow can be caused naturally or man made. The naturally occurring barriers are mountains, deserts and mountains et cetera.

The man made barriers such as the great wall of china acts as the barrier for the plant species. Example: Ziziphus jujuba, prunus and some species grow only on the other side of the wall.

Functions of astrocytes include all of the following except
Neporo4naja [7]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Functions of astrocytes include all of the following, except

A) performing repairs in damaged neural tissue.

B) guiding neuron development.

C) functioning in action potential transmission.

D) maintaining the blood-brain barrier.

E) creating a three-dimensional framework for the CNS.

Answer:

Functioning in action potential transmission.

Explanation:

Astrocytes may be defined as the glial type star shaped cells present in the central nervous system. They envelope the synapse and can function with millions of neuron at a time.

Astrocytes are involved in the structural support in the brain and can repair the damaged and wear nerves tissue. Their main function is acting as blood brain barrier. The action potential transmission is mainly done by neurons and not by the astrocytes cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
