Answer:

Cyanobacteria

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria were the first photosynthetic autotrophs that used water molecules as the source of electrons. Cyanobacteria were the first autotrophs that performed oxygenic photosynthesis and carried out the splitting of water.  

The process of splitting water released oxygen as a gas (O2) which was released in the atmosphere of the earth as a by-product. This led to the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere. Some cyanobacteria can fix nitrogen and have specialized cells called heterocyst which serve as the site for nitrogen fixation.

Answer:

Even a slight reproductive advantage will eventually lead to the elimination of the less well adapted of two competing species

Explanation:

The competitive exclusion describes relationship between two species that compete for the limiting sources, and cannot coexist. It is enough for one species to have slightly advantage to be dominant over the other. As a consequence, other species (the weaker one) will be extincted (shift to a different ecological niche).

8090 [49]
Reproductive isolating mechanisms are barriers which impeded mating (prezygotic) or prevent the hybrid from developing properly (postzygotic) but the overall effect is to cause speciation by making it difficult for two diverging species to share genes. So one kind of mechanical isolation could be the usage of contraceptives. As of temporal isolation, or behavioral isolation could be exemplified by people who suffer from diseases that cause separation (such as HIV or cancer). I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
