Answer:

B)attach specifically to host cell receptors

Explanation:

Viral spikes are one of the envelope proteins. These proteins are coded for by viral genes. Viral spikes project from the envelope surface. They are also called peplomers. One of the functions of these spikes is to specifically interact with the receptors present on the surface of the host cell to mediate the attachment of the virus to the host cell surface. Viral spikes and the host cell surface receptors are complementary to allow their specific binding. For example, the spike protein of the SARS-coronavirus bind specifically to the human host cell receptor ACE2.

Biogeographic isolation separates of a species through geographical and biological forces.
xenn [34]

Biogeographic isolation refers to the separation of the members of the similar species, or a group of organisms, which breed and generate offspring that can further give rise to young ones.  

The separation can be achieved by the geographical forces like oceans, rivers, and mountains, and by the biological forces, like hunting times, and spring or fall mating.

How does crossing over result in diversity within a species?
mestny [16]

Crossing over, or recombination, is the exchange of chromosome segments between nonsister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.

A proton gradient is established with the buildup of hydrogen ions on one side of the inner membrane of the mitochondria in euka
GenaCL600 [577]
B. ATP synthase. The purpose of the hydrogen gradient is to take advantage of molecules' tendency to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. ATP synthase lets hydrogen ions flow through it to the matrix, and the energy from this flow is used by ATP synthase to synthesize ATP.
