Species that have a greater gene pool are scientifically proven to survive better than those that have a smaller gene pool. This is because the species has diversity in the genes allowing them to be able to adapt to different situations. The smaller gene pool has less diversity meaning that it cannot adapt as easily. So, the answer is most likely D. Species A will most likely go extinct and species B will continue to thrive.
The tick is considered the vector in the chain of infection.
Generally, vector organisms are organisms that are capable of transmitting disease pathogens from infected organisms to uninfected ones either directly or indirectly as a result of their activities.
Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of vertebrate animals such as deers and humans. When they feed on the blood of animals with certain infections, the pathogens for such infections are sometimes carried in the guts of the parasites and these are transferred to the bloodstream of the next animal that would be their host.
A good example of this is Lyme disease.
