Answer:

B) oaks and other sexually reproducing, extant (currently living) trees

Explanation:

The biological species concept defines the species on the basis of their reproductive isolation. It states that when individuals are able to interbreed to produce fertile and viable progeny, they belong to the same species. The members of different biological species cannot interbreed. If they interbreed, either pre-zygotic or post-zygotic isolation mechanisms do not allow the production of fertile progeny.

Therefore, the biological species concept can be applied to the organisms that are able to reproduce sexually. The asexually reproducing organisms would not exhibit any reproductive isolation which is a key criterion to group organisms under different species. Among the given examples, biological species concept can be applied to the sexually reproducing extant trees such as oak.

Since we cannot deduce the reproductive isolation in sexually reproducing extinct species, the concept is not useful for dinosaurs which are extinct now.

* Describe at what point in the cell cycle cells begin to divide uncontrollably.
Butoxors [25]

Every cell in the body goes through a life cycle. Cells grow and divide to replace cells that are lost because of normal wear and tear or injury. Different cells grow and die at different rates. Some cells, such as epithelial<span>epithelialA thin layer of epithelial cells that makes up the outer surfaces of the body (the skin) and lines hollow organs, glands and all passages of the respiratory, digestive, reproductive and urinary systems.</span> cells, reproduce quickly. Other cells, like nerve cells, grow slowly. Both normal cells and cancer cells go through a sequence of steps, or phases, when they form new cells. This is called the cell cycle.
