Rocky mountain juniper (juniperus scopulorum) and one-seeded juniper (j. monosperma) have overlapping ranges. pollen grains (whi

ch contain sperm nuclei) from one species are unable to germinate and make pollen tubes to bring the sperm nuclei to the female ovules (which contain egg cells) of the other species. these two juniper species are kept separate by ________.

Answer:

Mechanical isolation

Explanation:

mechanical isolation is a form of prezygotic reproductive barrier, whereby similar species organisms become isolated and unable to successfully interbreed with each other to form zygote, as a result of incompatibility of their reproductive organ or structure, which prevents them from copulating. As a result of this, both species become separated as there is no gene flow between both.

The two species of juniper can be said to be kept separate by <em>mechanical isolation</em>, due to the differences and incompatibility of their reproductive structure.

Mechanical isolation

Mechanical isolation occurs when two organisms of the same species are unable to copulate because of the differences in their reproductive organs. In flowering plants, differences in the structure of the reproductive parts may also hinder pollination. From the question given above, even though the two plants have overlapping ranges, the pollen grains from one species are unable to grow thus disallowing the pollen tubes to connect or transport the sperm nuclei to the female ovules of the other species where the fertilization of the eggs will occur. These two species are said to be isolated mechanically.

Answer:

The correct answer is a. Reduction in species diversity

Explanation:

In habitat fragmentation, the large area of forest is divided into many smaller patches which reduce the area of habitat for species live there. This Fragmentation of habitat occurs mainly due to human activities like making highways and roads in the area.

This separates species member from each other which reduces the gene flow between that which can lead to inbreeding depression in a species and extinction of species can occur.  

Cutting trees and human activities can alter the environment negatively which can cause extinction of some species that reduce species diversity. So the correct answer is a.
