Osmosis

Osmosis is the name of the process in which water moves into or out of the cell membrane to maintain homeostasis.

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent substances such as water from a region of higher solvent potential to a region of lower solvent potential, through a semi-permeable membrane.  During this process, the movement of solvent stops when the concentration of the two solutions becomes equal (balanced). This type of diffusion is an important process in biological systems because biological membranes are semipermeable.

satela [25.4K]
The answer is C. Genetic Isolation.

Genetic isolation occurs when there is no genetic exchange between organisms of the population or species. One of the reasons that cause genetic isolation is geographical separation. The reason why some species of koalas are only found in Australia and lemurs in Madagascar is that they cannot mate with other species outside of their geographical boundary.
