species. The eggs from this breeding do not hatch, and when you obtain one of the eggs, you find embryonic development stopped not long after fertilization. Which of the following conclusions is supported by these observations?
A) Pre-zygotic isolation prevented successful reproduction.
B) Post-zygotic factors prevented successful reproduction.
C) Behavioral isolation prevented successful reproduction.
D) Temporal isolation prevented successful reproduction.

Answer:

B) Post-zygotic factors prevented successful reproduction.

Explanation:

Postzygotic factors may influence the formation of the fertile offspring.

The postzygotic barriers basically involves the formation of the hybrid organisms which do not survive past the embryonic stages i-e hybrid inviability / the hybrid creation that is unable to form the offspring i-e sterile.

So , in the given scenario option B )Post-zygotic factors prevented successful reproduction is the right answer .

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Independent Variable - Soil, Dependent Variable - Height, Control Variable - Sun and Water

Explanation:

First we should define what the variables in the experiment are.

Independent variable is the aspect of the experiment that has a different value for each subject in order to find out how it affects the dependent variables.

Dependent variable is the variable that is kept under observation and recorded by the experimenters in order to track the changes and define its relationship with the other variables/parameters.

Control variable is the variable that is kept constant intentionally by the experimenters to be able to define the relationship between the other variables more clearly and easily.

In the example given in the question, there are one of each variable mentioned above which are, according to the definitions;

  • Independent Variable - The Soil
  • Dependent Variable - The Height Of The Plant
  • Control Variable - The Amount of Water and Sun Exposure

I hope this answer helps.

Sloan [31]
The correct answer is A. maintaining homeostasis.
Homeostasis is a term referring to an organisms continuous process of maintaining and auto-regulating the conditions of its internal environment. Variables such as pH, temperature, and fluid balance need to be at optimal conditions in order for the organism to function properly.
In this example, the phosphate buffer system permits the organisms to maintain a constant pH in their intracellular fluid. This is one of the organism's homeostatic mechanisms.
