The correct answer is D. The fish would become extinct as they would not be able to reproduce.

Explanation:

Fish as most organism prevail over time due to adaptation to environmental conditions and reproduction, in terms of reproduction fish reproduce sexually which means a female gamete and a male gamete are needed to produce offspring, also this, implies both gametes need to be in contact so fertilization can take place. Because of this, if there is a natural or non-natural barrier that stops female and male fish to reunite and therefore prevents the gametes of fish to lead to fertilization and this barrier prevails over time, the species is likely to become extinct or disappear as there are not new individuals or future generations.

D should be the answer as they are no longer able to perform sexual reproduction without the other fish. Therefore, they would die off because they have lost the partner needed to reproduce.

Hope this helps!

During volume changes in the thoracic cavity, what is primarily responsible for changes in length?.
rusak2 [61]

During volume changes in the thoracic cavity, <u>Diaphragm</u> is primarily responsible for changes in length.

The main components of the respiratory system are the two lungs. They are located in the thoracic cavity, which is the area to the left and right of the heart. The rib cage safeguards the cavity. Other components of the respiratory system are supported by a muscular sheet known as the diaphragm.

The diaphragm contracts and pulls downward upon inspiration, or when the lungs inhale. The muscles between the ribcage tighten and pull upward at the same time. As a result, the pressure inside the thoracic cavity lowers and its size grows. Air rushes in as a result, filling the lungs.

Thus, diaphragm is responsible for the increase in length of the thoracic cavity.
