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.

Anarel [89]

This process is called autophagy.

Autophagy is an intracellular process of degradation, which includes the destruction of cytoplasmic components in the lysosomes. These components are considered unnecessary or dysfunctional and that is why they are recycled by the cell.

Autophagy has four sequential steps which are the sequestration, the transport of the components to the lysosome, the degradation, and the recycling and utilization of the degradation products.

Autophagy is considered as an adaptive response to stress by ensuring the survival of the cell and the tissue.

Which gastrointestinal (gi) change may be found in the client with burn injuries?

Elena L [17]

In case of severe burn injuries, a person experiences a sudden increase in the number of dangerous bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract approximately 32%. The increase in the dangerous bacteria increase the chance of developing gastrointestinal conditions like irritable bowel disease, and other non-related conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.

But in case of less severe burn injuries, the dangerous bacteria accounted for just 0.5% of the bacteria. An imbalance in the bacteria cause long term health consequences, in fact some of the complications could possibly even result in death of a person with severe burn injuries.

A biology student caught and tagged 50 trout in a small lake. After two weeks, the student caught another 40 trout and found tha

Vlad1618 [11]

The best estimate of the population of trout in the lake is 500 individuals.

The low number of tagged trout recaptured may be because the tags slipped off.

This possibility can be reduced if the student used tags that does not slip off easily.

<h3>Mark and recapture method</h3>

The formula for calculating the estimated number of individuals in the population is given as:

N = (M*C) / R

where:

N = estimated Number of individuals in the population
M = number of individuals captured and Marked
C = total number Captured the second time (with and without a mark)
R= number of individuals Recaptured (those with a mark)

Calculating the estimate trout population:

N = (50*40)/4

N = 50

Therefore, the best estimate of the population of trout in the lake is 500 individuals.

The low number of tagged trout recaptured may be because the tags slipped off.

This possibility can be reduced if the student used tags that does not slip off easily.
