Answer:

(A) speciation.

Explanation:

Shrinking of water bodies and development of deserts since the Pleistocene ice age produced new vacant niches that could be inhabited by organisms such as fishes. Production of new isolated streams, ponds, and springs allowed the fishes to occupy these new water bodies. Accumulation of genetic variations to become adapted to their new habitat resulted in the evolution of several new species of fishes with many different genetic traits. This represents speciation due to geographical isolation.

If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the?
Anvisha [2.4K]

If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the muscle.

Although only liver glycogen directly contributes to the release of glucose into circulation, maintaining a healthy blood glucose concentration is one of the glycogen's key functions. Since skeletal muscles lack glucose 6-phosphatase, they are unable to release glucose, and muscle glycogen primarily serves as a local energy source for activity rather than a source of fuel to keep blood glucose levels stable while fasting.

In fact, the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactate allows for its delivery to the liver, where it participates in the maintenance of euglycemia through the process of gluconeogenesis (Cori cycle).
