The correct answer for this question is (D) It can proceed in the dark.

Calvin cycle is named after Melvin C. Calvin, who won a Nobel prize in chemistry for finding it in 1961. Calvin cycle take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis and it is a <u>light-independent reaction so also called as dark reaction.</u>

The Calvin cycle proceeds in three stages:

1. Carboxylation, during which CO2 combines with ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate

2. Reduction, during which carbohydrate is formed at the expense of photochemically made ATP and NADPH

3. Regeneration during which the CO2 acceptor ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate is formed again so that the cycle continues.

Answer:

allopatric speciation.

Explanation:

When the population belonging to the same biological species becomes separated from each other due to some geographical factor such that no gene flow can occur between the two separated populations then the speciation that occurs on account of this is known as allopatric speciation.
The geographical isolation that separates the two groups can be the origin of a mountain, the formation of islands, volcanic eruption, etc. which prevents the two groups fro mating with each other and ultimately causes their lineage to speciate.
Although the two separate populations are unable to mate due to geographical factors, if the two populations are allowed to mate again, given that they have not been separated very long ago, they can give rise to hybrids.
Thus, in the given question it is given that polar bears and grizzly bears have been mated and hybrids have been produced and this points out to the fact that polar bears are result of allopatric speciation.

Which is an example of osmosis?

natka813 [3]

Osmosis is gradual absorption. ... An example of osmosis is when red blood cells, which have a high concentration of protein and salt, are placed in a lower concentration fluid like water, the water will rush into the red blood cells.
