2. The Isthmus of Panama cut off gene flow between Atlantic and Pacific populations of a species of fish. The cessation of gene

flow led to the accumulation of genetic differences between the populations, which led to reproductive isolation. Now Atlantic and Pacific populations of this fish are separate species that cannot interbreed, even if they were again to come into contact with each other. The process described is that of
a. sympatric speciation.

b. parapatric speciation.

c. allopatric speciation.

d. reinforcement.

e. temporal isolation.

Answer:

C Allopatric Speciation

Explanation:

Evolution of two populations of same species into two separate species due to geographical isolation is called allopatric speciation.  

In the given example, Isthmus of Panama serves as a geographical barrier and do not allow the interbreeding between Atlantic and Pacific fish populations of the same species.  

These populations evolve genetic adaptation to make themselves better suited to the prevailing surroundings. Accumulation of genetic variations over generation leads to their reproductive isolation. Now, these two fish populations serve as two separate species as they can not interbreed.

Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption is the extra amount of oxygen consumed after the completion of exercise and before respi
Scilla [17]

The extra oxygen is used to restore muscle fibers to their pre-exercise state by doing all of the following except facilitating calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the muscle fiber. Thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is Respiration?</h3>

Respiration may be defined as the process of acquiring oxygen from outside the body and utilizing it in the process of breakdown of food sources for cellular needs.

The extra oxygen works in the muscle fiber by replenishing the ATP, restocking the myoglobin, and supplying the ATP used to replenish glycogen stores in the muscle fiber.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is B.

Phosphorus is obtained in__?
a_sh-v [17]

Phosphorus is most commonly found in rock formations and ocean sediments as phosphate salts. Phosphate salts that are released from rocks through weathering usually dissolve in soil water and will be absorbed by plants.  Phosphorus cycles through plants and animals much faster than it does through rocks and sediments. Given this information, the answer is;

The sequence of subunits in a protein is most directly dependent on the
kumpel [21]

The sequence of sub units in a protein is most directly dependent on the DNA in the chromosomes in a cell

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any life events that takes place in a cell depends upon the central dogma of life that is the DNA getting transcribed into RNA and the RNA getting translated into protein, therefore we can conclude that the sequences of amino acids are based on the sequences of DNA that are present inside the chromosomes that are packed in a nucleus of a  cell.

Which accurately describes gymnosperms? Check all that apply. Some of them lose their leaves in winter.Some of them lack seeds.S
AleksandrR [38]
I think that correct answers are:
<span>Some of them lose their leaves in winter. (i.e. <span><em>Larix</em></span>)</span>
<span>They include the tallest plants (i.e<em>.Sequoia)

</em>I don't think they are the oldest type of seed plants, since in the past the classes like progymnosperms and seed ferns existed prior to the gymnosperms. But question isn't absolutely clear to me and I can't be 100% sure.
All of the gymnosperms have seeds unless human grows some seedless variant.
Gymnosperms don't have flowers like angiosperms do, but some people think that cone is kind of flower.
Male cones produce pollen, not female.
Hope I helped :)
