Why temperature affects heart rate in ectothermic organisms? If the temperature is within the optimal range for enzyme activity more ATP will be produced and the heart will beat faster due to increased metabolic activity and energy availability.
Relaxin
<span>Relaxin, secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary as well as the placenta, is responsible for helping to inhibit uterine activity and to soften the cervix and the collagen in joints. Softening of the cervix allows for dilatation at birth; softening of collagen allows for laxness in the lower spine and so helps enlarge the birth canal. The effect of estrogen is to cause breast and uterine enlargement. Progesterone has a major role in maintaining the endometrium, inhibiting uterine contractility, and aiding in the development of the breasts for lactation. Human placental lactogen (hPL), also known as human chorionic somatomammotropin, serves as an antagonist to insulin, making insulin less effective, thereby allowing more glucose to become available for fetal growth.</span>
Answer:
B. Geographic Isolation
Explanation:
Speciation is a biological process that allows the generation of new species through existing species. Through conditions imposed by the environment in which this species lives.
Speciation is usually caused by geographic isolation.
Geographic isolation occurs when a population of the same species is separated by some type of natural barrier, such as rivers or mountains. This causes the population to be divided in two and begin to face different environments and different environmental conditions. This causes each part of the population to adapt in different ways, leaving them so different from one another that it is no longer possible to say that the two populations belong to the same species.
