Answer:
Dependent Variable
Explanation:
An experiment has dependent and independent variables. The dependent variable is the one that is being studied and responds to the independent variable.
In the given experiment, the effect of a new drug is being studied on blood pressure. Here, the blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure) is supposed to change in response to drug treatment.
So, blood pressure is a "dependent variable" while the drug treatment is "independent variable".
the correct answer is A- Reproductive isolation occurred through behavioral isolation
A process of formation of a new species from an existing species is called speciation. New species may formed due to geographical or reproductive barriers which isolates the members of a population of a species to form a new species.
In the given question, speciation in In the leopard frogs occurred due to a particular or specific call given by males to the females. The courtship call lead to reproductive isolation due to change in behavior. Such type of behavioral change will help in recognizing mates of the same species and this will act as a reproductive barrier among the other related species.
This process is called osmosis whereby water exits the cell through its selectively permeable membrane and into the salt solution to dilute and balance the pressure caused by the concentrated salt solution.
