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 some possible future changes in the global climate?
Ugo [173]

The most probable future changes in the global climate are:

- Global warming;

If the levels of CO2 and methane increase enough in the atmosphere to be able to intensify the Greenhouse effect, than some portion of the ice on the planet will melt because of the rising temperatures, thus lifting up the sea level, creating more unpredictable weather with larger and stronger storms, but also making the mainland much drier. This would be a scenario if the continents are arranged like they are now, but if there isn't a sufficient mass of land on and around the poles, than all of the ice will melt and the sea levels will rise so much that the planet will come in the ''water planet'' scenario, and it will have wet tropical climate pretty much everywhere on the planet.

- Ice Age;

If there's a disruption in the warm ocean streams and some of them disappear, or the levels of nitrogen or oxygen increase in the atmosphere, the Earth will start to cool off, thus coming to a situation of an Ice Age. In this kind of situation, there will be large ice sheets on and around the poles that are stretching much further towards the lower latitudes, as well as mountains all over the world that are covered in snow and shaped by glaciers.

Define the term cell differentiation and describe its importance to an organism
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Cellular differentiation describes how different cells perform different processes and have unique functions. There are at least 250 cells in the human body and each one plays a different role, and <em>all</em> of them are crucial to the body's ability to maintain homeostasis. For example, liver cells produce proteins that are important in blood clotting. If these cells are damaged, blood will not clot properly. If blood does not clot, a body cannot maintain homeostasis and the person will fall ill.

TL;DR: every cell plays its part and keeps the organism alive.
