Answer:

The postzygotic isolating mechanisms

Explanation:

The postzygotic isolating mechanisms refer to the mechanisms that isolate members of different species reproductively after the process of fertilization.  

One of these mechanisms is hybrid sterility wherein the hybrid produced by a cross between two organisms of different species is sterile and can not reproduce.  

In the given example, the mule is an interspecific hybrid of a female horse and male donkey but is sterile. This is an example of postzygotic isolating mechanisms that prevent gene flow between horses and donkeys.

Which star has an temperature of 10,000 K and a Luminosity of 10^2
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

i think White Dwarf

Explanation:

We are given that the star has a temperature of 10,000 K and a luminosity of 10^2. According to the HR diagram, a star with the surface temperature of 10,000 K would be a white dwarf and if the star were on the main sequence, then it would have a luminosity nearly 100 times more than that of the sun. However since the actual luminosity is 10,000 times smaller than this, this star must be a white dwarf since it has 10,000 K and 100 aka 10^2 luminosity
