When a lineage splits into multiple line of descents, then, it leads to speciation. It is a process by which a single population evolves into different species. The process of speciation leads to the development of two or more species as the lineages are splitted. These two evolved species are genetically independent.
Hence, the blank can be filled with 'speciation'.
The correct option is C.
Science is a dynamic subject and it changes all the time. In the science field, research is always on going and when new evidence are discovered about a particular topic, the new evidence are usually used to update the scientific information that is already on ground. All the areas of science listed about have enjoyed scientific updates in the recent past.
It is described as relatively non specific
If I remember correctly, there are two main types of transport—passive and active. Passive transport does not require energy or ATP, whereas active transport does.
Types of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis, both of which involve moving down a concentration gradient and thus not requiring energy.
Active transport moves up the concentration gradient and does require energy.
Perhaps someone who has taken bio within the last several years can correct anything I might have misstated here.
