Two species of clams inhabit the same marine habitat along the Atlantic coast. One releases gametes into the water in early spri

ng, and the second species releases gametes into the water in late summer. Which type of reproductive barrier is at work between these species?

Answer:

Temporal Isolation

Explanation:

The mechanisms of reproductive isolation that work before zygote formation are categorized as pre-zygotic isolation mechanisms. One such mechanism is the temporal isolation.

Here, two diverging populations exhibit differences in the timing of reproduction so as to prevent the possible interbreeding between them.  

In the given example, two species of clams present in the same habitat prevent interbreeding among themselves as they release their gametes at a different time of year. One species release gametes in water in early spring while the other does the same during late summer.

Since gametes are not released at the same time, they cannot fuse together and interbreeding is not possible between the given two species.

The amino acids of a growing polypeptide chain are held together by what kind of bond during the elongation stage of translation
kifflom [539]

Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation: A peptide bond is the covalent chemical bond  bond that holds together two amino acids which occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an RNA-based enzyme  integrated into the growing chain.

In the elongation stage ie when Long chain polypeptides are forming , peptide bonds  are formed by linking many amino acids to each other. These peptide bonds of amino acids are  relatively unstable, and  can break spontaneously in a slow process as can be seen especially  in enzymes of living organisms in the making and breaking of bonds.
