<u>Answer:</u>

Things would be a lot different. Children would be identical to their parents. Mitosis copies a cell and its DNA so the child's DNA would be identical to the parents and they would look exactly alike. It would be like a lot of twins walking around. That is assuming there are no mutations in the mitosis process. I feel like there would be a lot of pitfalls in a population of humans if mitosis were the primary method of reproduction. Everyone will be like a copy of someone else and there will be no room for differences. This would cause a lot of problems with the population because it would be so much different than it is now. Everyone would asexually reproduce and there would be less sexual reproduction. This would probably lead to many problems that I can't even think of.

Sorry I can't explain it better because i'm only in 8'th grade.

Two species of warblers colonize the same island habitat. Both species nest in similar locations and eat the same type of prey.
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

D. Be eliminated

Explanation:

Competition in biology is the process of interaction between two or more organisms, which are using the same resources e.g food, space, mate or occupying the same ecological niche. Competition between organisms often result in one or bother organisms getting harmed due to the strive for a limited resource.

Hence, in the case of two warblers occupying the same habitat and feeding on the same prey, competition is inevitable between these two species of organism. Therefore, the competition will eventually cause one of the species to be eliminated or killed.
