Answer:

The answer is A - The populations will not be able to interbreed because they are different species and different species cannot interbreed

Explanation:

The population of birds become reproductively isolated because they are different species and different species are unable to interbreed. This is as a result of barriers which are called mechanisms of reproductive isolation which involves mechanisms, behaviors and processes that are critical for speciation. In reproductive isolation the different species are able to live in the same are but their properties and characteristics do not allow them interbreed to produce healthy and sterile offspring.

Why would you not expect to find any photosynthetic organisms in the aphotic zone of a lake?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

There is little to no sunlight in the aphotic zone.

Explanation:

The aphotic zone is the deepest part of a lake/ocean, so no light is able to penetrate into those depths. Without light, photosynthetic organisms will not be able to undergo photosynthesis and will therefore not be able to survive.

Which nutrient can be used to produce energy in the absence of oxygen?
serg [7]
Answer;
Glucose
The nutrient that can be used to produce energy in the absence of oxygen is glucose.

Explanation;
Production of energy without using glucose is called anaerobic respiration. During this type of respiration less energy is released than the case of aerobic respiration. This is because the breakdown of glucose is incomplete. Anaerobic respiration produces an oxygen debt, which is the amount of oxygen needed to break lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water.
