Answer:

It will act as a major barrier between populations on both sides of the freeway, thereby affecting the genetic diversity of the species inhabiting the forest habitats

Explanation:

A freeway may have important negative effects on natural ecosystems by contributing to their degradation and the loss of biodiversity. It has been shown that the freeways produce an irreversible habitat fragmentation capable of altering the genetic structure of the populations inhabiting the area where the freeway pass. In forest ecosystems, an alternative used to reduce the ecological impacts of the freeways is the development of forest corridors for effectively conserving the biodiversity by connecting areas on both sides of the freeway.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

A. Salamanders

Explanation:

Specialists species are species that can thrive in a unique and limited range of resources. They require a specific environmental condition to reproduce and survive in environment and also have limited or few diets they need for nutrition. These limiting characteristics put them at a disadvantage of being endangered and threatened.

Salamanders are endangered species that are fast going into extinction. They require wetland (freshwater pools) for reproduction to be possible, and feed mainly on insects. This makes them specialist species.

Ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers are all generalist species. They can all thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions, and also have varieties of diets they can get nutrition from to survive.

Answer:
The right answer for the blank is cleavage.

Explanation:
After fertilization the next step is cleavage in which zygote divide mitotically. As the embryo move from oviduct down the fallopian tube it divide into two cell and then four cells. four cell embryo is known as blastomere.
