Answer:

C) The continents were once connected.

Explanation:

All the continents were once part of the super-continent called Pangaea. Continental drift split it into fragments and led to the formation of the present-day continents. Since all the continents were connected, some of the cacti native to tropical western Africa must have been carried to present-day America.

The cacti populations present in America and tropical western Africa accumulated genetic variations to get adapted to the prevailing environmental conditions. Separation of continents by continental drift led to their geographical isolation and prevented any interbreeding between the populations. Over generations, the cacti present in two continents evolved into separate species.

yawa3891 [41]
In many cases, the activity of an enzyme is regulated by Negative feedback where the end product acts as a non competitive inhibitor.
In feedback inhibition the end product of a metabolic pathway acts on the key enzyme regulating entry to that pathway, keeping more of the end product from being produced. The feedback inhibition acts at the first committed step of the pathway, meaning the first step that's effectively irreversible. The pathway steps regulated by feedback inhibition are often catalyzed by allosteric enzymes.
