Tropical leafcutter ants collect leaf cuttings which they transport to special underground chambers. There, the ants chew the le

aves to create nursery beds on which the ants grow a species of fungus they use for food. When ant queens disperse to establish new colonies, they carry the fungus with them, dispersing it as well (this benefits the fungus). In the ants' new nests, the fungus is at risk of being destroyed by another fungal species that is able to grow in the habitat, using the same limited resources. On their bodies, the ants carry and provide a home for bacteria that produces antibiotics the ants use to kill the newly encountered fungus and thereby protect their food supply. In this system, the relationship between the leafcutter ants and their fungal food species is:a. mutualism. b. interspecific competition. c. parasitism. d. commensalism. e. predation.

What is the correct order of the stages of speciation?
guapka [62]

First Stage: Separation

Speciation usually begins when a part of a population becomes separated from the rest of their species.

Second Stage: Adaptation

Adaptation in speciation is quite similar, though the groups may evolve different sets of traits if the environmental conditions differ for each group.

Third Stage: Reproductive Isolation

Reproductive isolation is when groups of a same species are reunited and cannot interbreed with each other anymore, so they are now identified as different species.
