In the wild, various sperm and egg cells must navigate a complex environment to complete fertilization. There are mechanisms in

place at the molecular level to guard against interspecies fertilization, even between very closely related species. Some of these mechanisms involve lock and key functions of interacting proteins. These molecules most likely regulate which type of reproductive isolation mechanism? Please explain.

Answer:

pre-zygotic reproductive isolation

Explanation:

<em>The molecules regulate the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanism.</em>

<u>Reproductive isolation generally refers to the variety of biological processes that sustain the formation of new species of biological organisms. </u>

Some of these processes <em>act to prevent fertilization or the formation of zygotes between organisms that are not of the same species</em> (pre-zygotic mechanisms) while others <em>ensure that the product of fertilization is invalid</em> in case the former fails (post-zygotic mechanisms).

Some pre-zygotic mechanisms ensure that there exists no form of mating among organisms that are not of the same species due to incompatible reproductive organs, but where this fails, another pre-zygotic mechanism will act so that that the mating will not lead to fertilization and there will not be formation of zygotes.

The prevention of fertilization between organisms with compatible reproductive organs but of different species is carried out by molecules. These molecules ensure that there are locks and keys in place to prevent the fertilization of the egg by the sperm.

Cephalopods have complex eyes that arose separately from vertebrate eyes that are also used in vision. what's this illustration
juin [17]

Options:

A. Analogous structures

B. Vestigial structures

C. Homologous structures

D. Missing links

Analogous structures is the illustration in cephalopod. Thus, the correct option is C.

A cephalopod eye, unlike a vertebrate eye, is focused through movement, similar to a camera or telescope lens, rather than altering shape like a human eye lens. The lens, which is totally internal, is nearly spherical, as is the eye.

<h3>What are the characteristics of cephalopod?</h3>

  1. Organs. They have three hearts, two of which transport blood to the gills and the other which pumps blood throughout the body. Their blood is blue because the protein hemocyanin binds oxygen.
  2. Color. Cephalopods have the ability to change the color of their skin at will. They can even use their skin to create elaborate patterns and forms. This is accomplished by the use of chromatophores, which are pigment-filled bags found in the skin. Nerves can change the color of the skin by controlling these chromatophores.
  3. Diet. Cephalopods are all carnivorous animals.

Organs, tissues, or cells in the body that are no longer functional in their ancestral version of the trait are known as vestigial organs.
