The answer is B, Post zygotic

Answer:

B) Postzygotic

Explanation:

If the offspring resulting from the crossing of the two fly species is not viable, it means that although the hybrids were produced, they do not have the biological characteristics to survive and therefore, that there is a postzygotic barrier (it occurs after the zygote has formed).

A postzygotic barrier is  condition that prevents hybrids from surviving (dying) or reproducing (infertility).

Once the body has begun shivering, what happens to make it stop shivering?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

One hint is that, if a message is being sent, the "sender" is probably the nervous systems. There are several subsystems to the nervous system, but it regulates and controls virtually all bodily functions. The nervous system monitors your body's temperature, and takes actions to regulate it, such as telling your muscular system to shiver to generate more heat. It sends this message to the muscular system because your muscles cause bodily movement, such as walking, lifting weights, and even shivering. 

When your nervous system determines that your body temperature has returned to normal, it again sends a message to your muscular system to stop shivering.

On the Bahamian island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in various, now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united
makkiz [27]

Answer:

sexual selection

natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism (changes the allele frequency) by favouring traits that are advantageous among others because they increase the survival and reproduction. In the example above, mosquitofish that live in the predator-rich ponds devoloped a trait that help them survive (swimming in short, fast bursts). This adaptation to environment is favourable by natural selection.

Sexual selection refers to the female mosquitofish and the fact that they choose their males (with better reproductive success).

summary of 2 main parts of photosynthesis (light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions/Calvin Cycle). Be sure to e
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process taking place in the green plants which are involved in the formation of the glucose molecule using Carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The process of photosynthesis takes place in two phases:

1. Light-dependent phase

2. Light independent phase

<u>Light-dependent phase </u>

Light-dependent phase takes place in the thylakoid membrane where the Photosystem I and II are present.

The photosystem II absorbs the sunlight of 680 nm wavelength which excites the electron of the chlorophyll. The electron moves in the photosystem and through the reaction center-exit the photosystem and enters the electron transport chain.

The electron is then transferred via the electron carriers like plastoquinone, cytochrome, and plastocyanin and is transferred to photosystem I which absorbs the light at 700 nm. From here the electron is taken by ferrodoxin and form NADH.

The electron then reaches the ATP synthase and forms the ATP molecules thus ATP and NADPH are formed in the reaction but the loss of electron in chlorophyll is fulfilled by the water molecule which on hydrolysis provides the electrons and stabilize the structure.

<u>  Light independent phase </u>

The phase during which the Rubisco enzyme binds with the carbon dioxide and forms 3-PGA. This 3 PGA is then reduced to G3P which requires the 6 ATP molecules. The G3P molecule then forms 1 molecule of glucose and the Rubp is again regenerated.

In terms of biological function or process, what do the solid arrows shown in Model 2A represent?
antoniya [11.8K]
I found the attached image on the internet related to this question.
The solid arrows represent neuronal communication. The stimulus, the effects, and the flow of information is all done by receptors and synapses that send a signals across the body in order to have effective feedback responses promoting the homeostasis of the organism.
