Answer:

C. habitat isolation; temporal isolation; behavioral isolation; mechanical isolation; gamete isolation.

Explanation:

Reproductive Barriers may be of any type which includes habitat isolation; temporal isolation; behavioral isolation; mechanical isolation; gamete isolation. All these examples are categorized under prezygotic barriers.

Habitat isolation: It occurs in case of allopatric speciation, initially all the members of a species can mate with each other but later on due to geographic barriers like due to a rift, their habitat separates and they cannot mate with each other and later on they evolve as separate species.

Temporal isolation: In temporal isolation, reproductive barrier is different time/season of breeding like American toads and Fowler's toad both are closely related and have potential to mate but due to different mating season they are unable to mate with each other. American toads mate during summers while Fowler's toad mate during late summers.

Behavioral isolation: When the members of two closely related species behave and respond to different mating behavior, it is known as behavioral isolation. For example breeding calls.

Mechanical isolation: Mechanical isolation occurs because of structural or chemical barriers. For example: when the shape of pollinator does not match with that of flower then the male gametes will not be able to reach to the egg cell.

Gamete isolation: When the gametes are unable to fuse due to any reason like less mobility of sperm in the female reproductive tract.

I believe the answer is true because we spill liquids during these events causing more erosion

valentina_108 [34]

Solute is the substance that dissolves

Solute is a minor component
Solvent is a major component
Solutions is a mixture where the solute is uniformly distributed in the solvent.
Solution is homogeneous mixture that contains particles the size of a typical ion or small molecule.
The mass of the solute dissolved per unit volume of solvent is called Concentration
Solubility is The concentration of a saturated solution
Solutes lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent.
Saturated Solution is a solution in which no more solid can be dissolved
Unsaturated Solution is solution in which more solid can be dissolved
Precipitate is a solid that crystallizes out of a saturated solution as it is cooled.

Eric follows a vegetarian eating pattern, and he wants to know whether he needs to take any vitamin and mineral supplements. wha

Reil [10]

It would be most important for Eric to find out his <em>zinc, iron and vitamin B12 (or riboflavin) levels, and ensure that he is obtaining adequate amounts of these vitamins and minerals through vegetarian sources </em>.

A vegetarian diet is typically low in zinc rich foods, since meat, shell fish and eggs are the most abundant sources of zinc. In order to ensure that he obtains sufficient zinc, Eric should make sure he consumes vegetarian zinc sources such as legumes, lentils, dairy, nuts and seeds on a daily basis.

Since iron and vitamin B12 are also difficult to obtain from vegetarian sources, Eric should consume iron rich foods such as spinach, kale, whole grains, broccoli, legumes,etc., on a daily basis. As for vitamin B12, daily supplementation of 2.4 μg is recommended for vegetarians. Alternatively, riboflavin fortified cereals and grains are also recommended to meet daily riboflavin requirements.
