Answer:

D. Chemoautotrophs

Explanation:

Autotrophs in plain are organisms that synthesize their own food while hetrotrophs are organisms that do not synthesize their own food.

Chemotrophs (Chemoautotrophs and Chemohetrotrophs) are a group of organisms that obtain their energy through the oxidation of inorganic molecules, These organisms require carbon to survive and reproduce.

Chemoautotrophs are able to produce inorganic molecules by the fixation of CO2 from their immediate environment. The energy required for this process is got from Nitrogen, Magnesium, Sulphur etc.

Chemohetrotrophs are a class of chemotrophs that are unable to synthesize their own food but rather ingest complex molecules like carbohydrates from the environment.

Phototrophs are a group of organisms unlike chemotrophs that depend on the source of light or sunlight for synthesizing its food or organic molecules.

Photoautotrophs are basically photosynthetic plants which are able to carry out photosynthesis ie the conversion of CO2 and H2O to give Glucose and Oxygen in the presence of sunlight.

Photohetrotrophs are a class of organisms that do not synthesize their own food but rely on other organisms or already made organic molecules.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

geographical isolation

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation is a process of evolution that ensures that members of different species are incapable of mating and when they do, such mating do not result into any offspring or leads to the production of invalid offspring.

There are two mechanisms of reproductive isolation:

  • Pre-zygotic mechanisms prevents fertilization between two different species and these include habitat isolation, mating seasons, mechanical isolation, gamete isolation,  geographical isolation and behavioral isolation.
  • Post-zygotic isolation prevents the products of fertilization from becoming valid and this include hybrid inviability, hybrid sterility and hybrid breakdown.

<em>Geographical isolation involves the existence of geographical barriers between two populations such that there cannot be mating between the two. The two populations eventually evolve to become different species.</em>
