Punctuated equilibrium occur when the environment is rapidly changing  eliminate.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Punctuated equilibrium generally occurs when a sudden massive change occurs in the regular stream. The organisms are forced to adapt themselves to the new environment at the earliest and this process is induced to maintain the equilibrium.

This is the reason why you find an abrupt change in the species without undergoing slow morphological changes. Hence no intermediate forms can be found if you would examine the fossils. Hence to conclude when a species under rapid change to evolve itself to suit the environment it is punctuated equilibrium.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Cell membrane of prokaryotes and Inner mitochondria of eukaryotes

Explanation:

Electron transport chain is a part of oxidative phosphorylation which is the third step of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms. The ETC is a complex of proteins and mobile electron carriers. It occurs when electron is being transferred from one electron carrier to another, starting from NADH and FADH2. A proton pump which is used to synthesize ATP is generated at the end.

This ETC process occurs in the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells due to the fact that they lack a membrane-bound Mitochondrion. ETC occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria called CRISTAE in eukaryotic cells.
