Answer: The correct answer is -

Option D.

Explanation:

As per the given information in the question, initially fruit flies were in two different containers having different food sources for several generations. Due to this, they got adapted to the specific food sources to which they were exposed. As a consequence, they started preferring mates that were adapted to the same food source.

Therefore, when fruit flies from the two containers were put together, Fruit flies preferred mates adapted to the same food source.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

A receptor can directly open a channel and thereby exert a(n) ____ effect, or it can produce slower but longer ____ effects.​
svlad2 [7]

Answer: ​ionotropic; metabotropic

Explanation:

A receptor can directly open the channel and exerts an ionotropic effect. The ionotropic effect takes place by the help of ionotropic receptors. These receptors are membrane bound receptor proteins which responds by the bonding of the ligand.

Due to ligand binding the channel opens and allows the movement of ions into the cells which helps in either increasing or decreasing the action potential.

The receptors can also bind to the ligand and produce metabotropic effect which means by the second messenger.
