Answer:

d. the groups will probably diverge genetically, and speciation may occur

Explanation:

The geographical isolation of two populations of a species for a longer time period leads to allopatric speciation. During the process, the isolated populations accumulate genetic variations to become adapted to the prevailing conditions of the habitat.

Accumulation of genetic variations leads to reproductive isolation between the population. After several generations, the individuals of the two isolated populations are unable to interbreed due to genetic variations. Now, these two populations are said to belong to two different species. The isolated lizard populations would also accumulate genetic variations resulting in allopatric speciation.

Which organisms have the fewest similarities? Explain why these organisms still qualify as living things despite sharing few cha
VladimirAG [237]

Plants have the fewest similarities with the other two groups of organisms.

<h3>Plants vs animals</h3>

Plants generally comprise all living organisms that have chlorophyll and are able to manufacture their own foods by photosynthesis.

Animals, on the other hand, are living organisms that cannot manufacture their foods and are mobile. Animals are either vertebrates or invertebrates.

Plants qualify as living organisms because they are able to feed, excrete, reproduce, grow, respond to stimuli, die, and carry out other basic characteristics of living organisms.

The equation shows cellular respiration what happen to the energy in the bonds of glucose
V125BC [204]

In cellular respiration, bonds are broken in glucose, and this releases the chemical energy that was stored in the glucose bonds. Some of this energy is converted to heat. The rest of the energy is used to form many small molecules of a compound called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.

What happens to the air that a emperor penguin breathes in?
enot [183]
Emperor penguins need lungs to breathe. In penguin lungs, air never stops. ... Once the air goes farther into the trachea it splits into two different directions into both lungs. To get the oxygen into the blood cells, it must come "within small distance of the penguin blood cells".
