The correct answer is option C, that is, behavioral isolation.  

The phenomenon of behavioral isolation takes place when two populations possess the tendency of interbreeding, but exhibit distinctions in courtship rituals or other kinds of behavior. For example, the western and eastern meadowlarks are very identical birds whose habitat overlap in the middle of the United States.  

However, the members of the two species will not mate with each other, possibly as they use different songs in order to fascinate males. The eastern meadowlarks will not respond to the songs of western meadowlarks, and vice versa.

Answer:

The answer is C) Behavioral Isolation

Explanation:

Behavioral isolation occurs when two populations are capable of interbreeding, but they have different behaviors that prevent them from breeding. In this case, the difference in mating songs caused behavioral isolation which led to speciation.

Which of the following statements about the development of infectious diseases is correct?
zalisa [80]

The period of Convalescence is the time during which the person regains health and fully recovers.

Explanation:

  • Diseases that can spread from one person to other  are called infectious disease.
  • Disease development is divided into Incubation period, Prodromal period, period of illness, Decline period, and period of Convalescence.
  • During incubation period the pathogen enters the host body and starts multiplying itself. But the signs of diseases are unnoticeable.
  • Then comes  the prodromal period, when the pathogen keeps multiplying itself and some signs of disease are observed but they are not obvious
  • After the prodromal period comes the period of illness when the patient exhibits obvious signs of sickness.
  • As the period of illness is over the symptoms of disease start to cease and the the number of pathogen decrease in body.This period is the period of decline.
  • Finally comes the period of Convalescence when the person returns to his pre-disease state and is completely healthy. (except irreversible damage caused by the disease)

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Xylem cell is a plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

2. Phloem is the vascular tissue in charge of the transport and distribution of organic nutrients. The phloem is also a pathway to signaling molecules and has a structural function in the plant body.

3. Stomata are composed of a pair of specialized epidermal cells referred to as guard cells. Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.

4. Guard cells optimize leaf gas exchange in response to changing environmental conditions and their turgor is controlled by alterations in atmospheric CO2 concentration, light intensity, humidity, and the drought hormone abscisic acid.
