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.

Which of the components could be observed using a microscope in a prepared slide of leaf epidermal cells but not in a prepared s
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Cells are of different types- Animal cells and Plant cells. The leaf epidermal cell is an example of plant cell and the visible components will be the <em>nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, central vacuole and cell wall</em>.

Explanation:

The cell organelles present in plant cells are different from those in animal cells.<u> Human cheek cell is an animal cell</u>. The animal cells contain a cell membrane which is absent in plant cells. Chloroplasts are <em>absent</em> in animal cells since they do not perform photosynthesis. Mitochondria and Golgi complex are present in <u>both plant and animal cells</u>.
