phoresy - a relationship between two or more organisms of different

species in which one benefits and the other is harmed

monogamy - having one mate for a whole life span

mutualism - a symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which

both species receive some type of benefit

polyandry - when females mate with multiple males

polygyny - when males mate with multiple females

parasitism - a relationship between two or more organisms of different

species in which one benefits and the other is harmed

<h2>Symbiosis</h2>

Symbiosis is the name given to any close and long-term interaction between two different species.

This interaction can be beneficial to one part only and harmful to the other (parasitism), it can be beneficial to all parts (mutualism), or it can benefit one part without influencing neither positively nor negatively the other (commensalism).

A mating system refers to how a group is organized in terms of sexual behavior. When it comes to animals, the phrase refers to which males and females mate when certain conditions are met. Monogamy, polygamy (including polygyny, polyandry, and polygynandry), and promiscuity are all recognized systems that lead to various mate choice outcomes and so influence how sexual selection operates in the species that practice them.

Which of the following clades is most likely to survive a series of catastrophic events over time? (1 point)
marishachu [46]
The correct options are as follows:
1. D.
<span>A clade refers to a group of organisms that are made up of evolutionary descendants that originated from a common ancestor. A clade that will survive a series of catastrophic events must be one that is made up of distantly related and diverse species. This is because, those species will have different type of adaptability capacity and will be able to adapt in different ways to the catastrophic events. Due to the differences in their ability to adapt, some of the specie will survive the catastrophic events even if others are wipe out.

2. B.
The mass extinction of one specie usually creates space for another new specie to survive. The new specie that survive the old one may possess the ability to adapt to the event that wipe out the former set of living organisms and thus, the new specie will be able to occupy and reproduce in their new space. Mass extinction is said to occur when the whole population of living organism living in an ecosystem are wipe out as a result of unfavorable conditions.

3. B.
Convergent evolution refers to the independent evolution of similar features in species that arise from different lineages. The species involved usually evolve these traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments. Convergent evolution usually result in evolution of analogous structures, that is, structures that have similar forms or functions but which are not present in the last common ancestors of the species.

4. C.
 In evolution, gradualism refers to theory that states that evolution occurs slowly and gradually, thus, large changes in evolution are actually product of small changes that occur over a long period of time. The theory of gradualism was originally proposed by James Hutton in 1795.

 5. C.
Mass extinction refers to the wiping out of a a large number of species within a very short time. Mass extinction can occur as a result of severe unfavorable conditions that all the species in an ecosystem can not adapt to. An instance of this is a drastic decrease in global temperature after several massive volcanic eruptions.</span>
