Organelles such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum have membranes that compartmentalize reactions and other metabolic

processes. To function properly, the organelles must move substances across their membranes.

Answer:

The correct answer is - they both have highly folded membranes.

Explanation:

Organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria have highly folded double membranes. This highly folded membrane provides the increased surface area in the organelle.

As the inner membrane of these organelles is the site for many chemical reactions the highly folded or layered membranes get more space for such reactions to occur due to increased surface area.

Answer:

"This is a specific example of a reproductive barrier, called behavioral isolation or sexual isolation".

Explanation:

Reproductive barriers are <em>isolation mechanisms</em> that prevent mating between two or more species. The <u><em>prezygotic mechanism</em></u> avoids fertilization between individuals of different species, and the <u><em>postzygotic mechanism</em></u> avoids the zygote to develop and reach the adult stage.

There are different types of reproductive barriers, one of them is <em>behavioral isolation</em>, also known as <em>ethological isolation</em> or <em>sexual isolation</em>. This is a <em>prezygotic barrier</em> that refers to the fact that <em>many species occupy the same area</em> but they are <em>not sexually attracted</em> to each other and might even be rejected <em>because of behavioral factors</em>, and this is why they do not get to mate. This mechanism includes courtship patterns or mating rituals, and specific chemical signals that allow the recognition between individuals of the same species. A typical <em>example</em> is the <em>recognition songs</em> of some species like frogs, birds, insects, and etcetera.

ElenaW [278]
The significance of the spore formation during the reproductive cycle of the bacterium is that, it provide a defensive strategy against hostile and unfavorable conditions. The spore formation allows the bacterium to reproduce and spread even when the conditions are not favorable. The spore formation also make it possible for the bacterium to remain dormant over a long period of time during unfavorable conditions, waiting for the right conditions to become active again.
