D. Both competition and environmental filtering shape community structure.
Explanation:
Based on competition theory, two organisms occupying the same ecological niche can only coexist provided there is spatial or conditioning niche partitioning.This prevent competitive exclusion , ensuring survival of the two species in their niche. Since the two species developed greater variability in (over-dispersed traits) to resist the selection pressure,(competition).Many overdisperesed traits is present in the communities.
However environmental filtering, is concerned with selection of species with natural ability or triats to survive in a given communities,Thus if two species of organism meet the same ecologocal requirements in a community, environmental filtering, fitters them and ensure their survival ahead of others who do not meet the requirements, and could not survive.
Thus the simultaneous operation of theses two opposing selection pressures, structured communities ensuring coexistence and favoured ability of organism to survive.
A gene is always recessive to an allele.

Answer:
The given blank can be filled with interferons.
Explanation:
The signaling molecules or the proteins that get discharged by the cell infected by the virus to protect the adjacent cells by stimulating a safeguarding defense mechanism are termed as interferons.
The mentioned proteins obstruct the proliferation of viruses and thus helps the cell in getting rid of the infection. These molecules also assist in stimulating the macrophages and the natural killer cells.
Crossing over is important because it creates genetic variability.
<h3>What is crossing over?</h3>
It is the exchange of chromosomal segments between non-homologous chromosomes in a tetrad.
Since chromosomal segments contain genes at different loci, the exchange will increase the genetic variability of the new chromosomes.
Thus, the daughter cells carrying the recombined chromosomes will be genetically variable from not just the parent cell, but fellow daughter cells.
