For speciation to occur, members of a population must become reproductively isolated.

TRUE
Speciation is the creation of a new species through natural selection operating differently on 2 populations, NORMALLY due to a NEW NATURAL BARRIER (e.g. a new moutnain range or river) emerging that separates the 2 populations. The environmental conditions are different within these 2 new habitats and so natural selection operates differently for the 2 populations, favouring different characteristics to aid surivial. The new natural barrier prevents the 2 populations interbreeding. As a result, new characteristics are not genetically passed on between the 2 populations. Eventually, the 2 populations will thus become so different in their characteristics (i.e. their phenotype) that they will no longer be able to successfully interbreed/ reproduce to produce fertile offspring.
The definition of a species is: Organisms with similar characteristics that can successfully interbreed/ reproduce with each other to produce fertile offspring.
After speciation, a new species is created. Thus, by the very definition of a species, <span>members of a population must become reproductively isolated in order for speciation to occur.</span>

What can you tell about bacteria that have been Gram stained?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

D) A and C

Explanation:

Gram staining is a laboratory technique used for bacterial species. It is used to differentiate between two groups of bacteria based on the components of their cell wall. Gram staining was developed by a scientist called Christian Gram in the year 1884. In the gram stain procedure, the following occurs:

- Due to the thick peptidoglycan component of their cell wall, GRAM POSITIVE bacteria retains the crystal violet due and stain VIOLET.

- On the contrary, due to the thin peptidoglycan component of their cell wall, GRAM NEGATIVE bacteria do not retain the crystal violet dye and hence stain, RED.

Based on this, a bacteria that has been gram stained has been tested for its GRAM REACTION and microscopic morphological characteristics, since it is a microbe.

Why won’t you find plant life in the aphotic zone
valkas [14]
An aphotic zone is a zone where light can be received from the sun (or other sources of light).

For example in the ocean, it will be the zone that begins a 200m deep and goes to the bottom of the sea.

Hope it's helpful, have a nice day :)
