<span>B.) Species A and B are more closely related to each other than species Y and Z are to each other.

</span><span>Biodiversity depends on a species' ability to reproduce itself. If a species cannot reproduce then it will die out. This depends on the climatic conditions of the region. If there is a natural disaster for example, it will affect a species' ability to reproduce. This reduces the number of diverse species on earth. Biodiversity is the recognised variety of different types of life found on the earth.</span>

in what ways is the ocean at 1,000 meters deep different from the ocean at the surface in the same location
photoshop1234 [79]
It is much darker 1000 meters deep and photosynthesis most likely can't occur, the fishes there also have different abilities than the ones higher up in order to survive, also it is probably a harder to swim because of the increased pressure
