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.

What are the functions of the three major forms of RNA (ribosomal RNA, messenger RNA, and transfer RNA)?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Ribosomal RNA: Structural part of ribosomes

Messenger RNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to proteins

Transfer RNA (tRNA): Transport amino acids to protein synthesizing complex.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. The catalytic activity for the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis resides the RNA of ribosomes.  

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription during which the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA strand is copied into that of the RNA. The mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes to specify the amino acid sequence of a protein. In this way, the genetic information stored in DNA is carried to the proteins.

During the process of protein synthesis, tRNAs carry amino acids to the mRNA-ribosome complex so that the amino acids are incorporated into the polypeptide. For the purpose, there is a tRNA with a specific anticodon sequence for a particular amino acid.

What is the best description foro mechanical waves
Nataly [62]
It's basically a wave that moves back and forth at regular speed through matter. because of that it transfers energy through a medium (matter). however the movement of the wave is limited because of this but it can still move over long distances. so because of this these types of waves don't move far from their original point or Equilibrium position. in short think of throwing a pebble into water and seeing the little ripples from it, that's a mechanical wave.
