In human cells,the hydrolysis of ATP to form energy needed by the cell is the main utilizer of the Sodium potassium pump.The process involves the movement of Sodium ions and potassium ions across the cell membrane through active transport mechanism.Here,an enzyme called Na+/K+- AT phase is utilised to maintain a larger excess of Na+ions outside the cell and a corresponding large excess of K+ions on the inside.

This sodium potassium pump is important because it contribute to action potential produced by nerve cells.

tresset_1 [31]
<span>Well, since there is little genetic variation, all the animals in the population are fairly similar, from a purely physical standpoint. Therefore, if there was some new form of whale lice that kills northern right whales, then presumably at least nearly 1/3 of the population would be vulnerable to this new form of whale lice. This is over simplified, but in essence a huge portion of the population is much more vulnerable to a single threat due to common disease resistances, or the lack thereof.</span>

While the post-zygotic barrier, that is, barrier after fertilization in the given case would have been the hybrid inviability. As all the hybrids born were males, which signifies that the female zygotes are inviable and did not survive post-fertilization.
