In Chemistry, Dynamic Equilibrium refers to a state of balance in between two forces in motion. It exists once a reaction which is reversible ceases to change its ratio of the reactants but the substances move at an equal rate in between the chemicals.
Answer:
b. the new species must be unable to breed with the original species.
Explanation:
By definition, species are defined as groups of similar organisms that can live and breed freely. This means that individuals in that species can interbreed and produce viable, fertile offspring. However, two different species cannot interbreed to produce fertile offspring due to biological barriers known as mechanisms of reproduction isolation.
These barriers are broadly classified as pre and postzygotic. Prezygotic barriers include the following:
- Habitat isolation: Two species occupy entirely different and distant habitats.
- Temporal isolation: Two species procreate at different times of the year.
- Behavioral isolation: Two species exhibit different mating behaviors.
- Gametic isolation: The gametes of the two species cannot fertilize.
- Mechanical isolation
Speciation, the production of an entirely new species, requires a maintenance of genetic diversity. Therefore, the new and original species cannot interbreed as this would limit the gene pool and decrease genetic variations.
The answer is hard tissue.
Usually, hard tissue, such as bones and teeth or exoskeleton is much more preserved than soft tissue (organs, skin, etc.). Fossils become fossils by a process of mineralization. Hard tissues are more mineralized during life than organs. So it is no surprise that hard tissues take part in the process of mineralization and is preserved in fossils, unlike soft tissues.
