Why are fungi fossils so rare?
Volgvan
The reason as to why fungi fossils seem so rare is that they are usually microscopic and often difficult or impossible to identify. Not much information on fungi fossils has been documented. This could be because fungi fruiting bodies consist of soft, fleshy and easily degradable tissues which due to their poor integrity do not keep or preserve as well as animal tissue. Even when available, it takes a trained eye to recognize fungal fossils. Not many people have the training and expertise to recognize the fossils.

Dimas [21]
The answer is reproductive isolation. Reproductive isolation ensures members of different species do not produce offspring. In this case, geographical separation is ensuring that individuals from the two different populations are not able to mate with each other. Eventually, through different selective pressures, the two populations will diverge sufficiently in genotype to become distinctly different.

Maru [420]

Answer:

The correct answer is- muscle

Explanation:

Glycogen is the body gets stored mainly in two places which are muscles and liver. During intense exercise glycogen which is stored in the muscle provides the main source of energy. So during exercise blood glucose levels do not reduce much because muscle also uses stored glycogen to get energy so as a result blood glucose level remains stable.

After the exercise, the glycogen in the muscle is again replenished because of the increase rate of glycogen synthesis after the exercise. Therefore the correct answer is muscle.
