Correct answer: C). Frequent Mutations

A virus is a small infection-causing agent that are known to replicate inside the living organism. They may contain DNA or RNA as genetic material.

They evolve by the changes which caused in their RNA sequence, as they carry RNA as a genetic material which is not stable so they continuously change their shape as a result of frequent mutations in order to infect an organism and escape from the immune system of the body of the host.

Hence, the correct answer would be option C.

How does the introduction of invasive species such as the brown tree snake upset the stability of the legal system
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Invasive species compete for the same natural resources such as food and water which the native species also need for survival.

Explanation:

Invasive species upset the stability of the ecosystem because the prey in their new environment does not have the needed defense against them. They also upset the food chain, consume so much, and overpopulate in the new territory thus causing the extinction of the native species.

The introduction of brown tree snakes in Guam disrupted the ecological system as their population increased rapidly because their preys in this new environment lacked the ability to defend themselves against the brown tree snakes. For this reason, more than twelve native birds in the Guam Islands went into extinction. They also consumed the natural resources needed for the survival of the native species.
