Answer:
Option C - The sympatric salamander populations evolved their present body sizes after they became sympatric.
Explanation:
First, note the definitions of each terms.
1) Sympatric occurs when organisms especially of same species occurring in the same, or in overlapping territory, do not interbreed.
2) Allopatric occurs when organisms are NOT living in the same territory and thus unable to crossbreed.
On 1st QUESTION
The argument would be strengthened by the failure of P. cinereus and P. hoffmani to crossbreed making traits for body size to become distinct (dissimilar) in each specie.
On 2nd QUESTION
Definitely, salamanders species occurring in the territory, do not interbreed after they became sympatric, thus, making characters among same species to be increasingly different over generations.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
(a) One of the inorganic sources of new plant mass for the light-grown plants is the atmosphere. The <u>carbon in the form of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is sequestrated into the body of the light-grown plants through a process known as photosynthesis</u>. During this process, the inorganic carbon dioxide becomes fixed into the body of the plant through a series of steps that include both light-dependent and light-independent. The overall equation of the process is as below:
As more plant mass is being gained by photosynthesis, some of the gained mass is also being lost to energy generation through a process known as respiration.<u> Respiration is like the complete opposite of photosynthesis but a gain in mass is still possible because the rate of photosynthesis is more than the rate of respiration in the light-grown plants.</u>
(b) The chemical reaction that can be held responsible for the decrease in mass of the dark-grown plants is<u> respiration</u>. Some of the mass is lost to energy generation and this mass cannot be recouped by adequate photosynthesis due to light limitation. The energy is needed to metabolic processes that would keep the plants alive. The equation of respiration is as below:

Answer:
The organization of life
Explanation:
The organization of living things or life is a system of classifying living things in a hierarchical order or level from the simplest to the most complex based on structure and function. The simplest level is the cell while the most complex is the organism.
All living organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the basic units of life. In complex living organisms, cells are organized into tissues.
Tissues are a group of cells of the same kind. Tissues are organized into organs.
An Organ is a structure composed of one or more types of tissues that work together to perfume a specific function. Human organs include the brain, heart, skin, stomach, kidney, etc. Organs are organized into organ systems.
An Organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain function. Examples of organ systems include the circulatory, skeletal, nervous, digestive and reproductive systems. Organ systems make up an organism.
An organism is an individual living thing that is made up of one or more organ systems. Examples are humans, plants, insects, etc
Evolution would be my guess.
