A neuron is a nervous system cell specialized in the communication and information processing between the nervous system and the various organs. It is present under different structures (multipolar, unipolar, bipolar ...).It consists of three main parts:
*A cell body also called soma, it is composed of the cytoplasm and the nucleus of the cell that contains the DNA to encode the proteins necessary for the function of the neuron.
*Tree extensions that are also called dendrites, its role is to receive information.
*A single axon with the ability to route information to other cells.

I need help on this question in biology and biology is hard and confusing
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

b. the new species must be unable to breed with the original species.

Explanation:

By definition, species are defined as groups of similar organisms that can live and breed freely. This means that individuals in that species can interbreed and produce viable, fertile offspring. However, two different species cannot interbreed to produce fertile offspring due to biological barriers known as mechanisms of reproduction isolation.

These barriers are broadly classified as pre and postzygotic. Prezygotic barriers include the following:

  1. Habitat isolation: Two species occupy entirely different and distant habitats.
  2. Temporal isolation: Two species  procreate at different times of the year.
  3. Behavioral isolation: Two species exhibit different mating behaviors.
  4. Gametic isolation: The gametes of the two species cannot fertilize.
  5. Mechanical isolation

Speciation, the production of an entirely new species, requires a maintenance of genetic diversity. Therefore, the new and original species cannot interbreed as this would limit the gene pool and decrease genetic variations.
