Answer:

Reproductive isolation

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation is the lack of successful breeding between organisms of related species due to the existence of morphological, physiological, genetic or behavioural barriers.

Reproductive isolation mechanisms are classified into two:

  • Pre-zygotic mechanisms, and
  • Post-zygotic mechanisms

The pre-zygotic mechanisms act to prevent breeding or formation of zygote between organisms of related species while the post-zygotic mechanisms act to ensure that aborted or infertile zygote results in cases where fertilization takes place.

<em>The distinct characteristics observed in the species of butterfly can be viewed as a form of morphological reproductive isolation.</em>

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A. Bacterial species use a limited number of nutrient sources.

Explanation:

    There are two classes of nutrients that are indispensable to bacteria: macronutrients (carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and hydrogen) and micronutrients (iron, zinc, manganese, calcium, potassium, sodium, copper, chlorine, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium, magnesium, among many others). But it takes more than the nutrients for them to feed, it takes the metabolism, because it is through it that they transform what they have into food.

    The absorption of nutrients to carry out the metabolism only occurs because there are growth factors (environmental) that influence the development of the bacteria. Some examples of these factors are: light, temperature, pH, oxygen and osmotic pressure. Each organism has an optimal growth temperature, or a favorable pH to successfully carry out its metabolism. This will vary from species to species.
