Answer:

D

Explanation:

The correct answer would be <u>Nucleic Acid</u>.

A typical nucleic acid has 3 components which include:

  1. A purine or pyrimidine nitrogenous base
  2. A phosphate group
  3. A 5-carbon sugar

The purine base includes adenine and guanine while the pyrimidine base includes thymine/uracil and cytosine. The 5-carbon sugar could be ribose or deoxyribose depending on if the nucleic acid is ribonucleic or deoxyribonucleic acid.

<em>The only macromolecule that contains the 3 components of the options A to D is the nucleic acid. Hence, the correct option is </em><em>D.</em>

The image shows the evolution of a species of fish. A few fish from a population developed different social behaviors and evolve
adell [148]

According to the image, the fish underwent sympatric speciation. The new species of fish had mating seasons that were different from that of the original fish. Because of the differences in mating seasons, the fish underwent reproductive isolation. This mode of isolation would be temporal.

Sympatric speciation happens within a population of an organism that gets isolated reproductively due to differences in their mating periods. This time dependent isolation is called temporal isolation. Example, a fish population can split into two if some of the fishes start mating early in the spring while the rest mate late in the autumn. The spring-mating population will not become compatible to mate with the late-autumn-mating population.
