<h2>Sea star  </h2>

Explanation:

In the given example sea star played the role of keystone species

  • Robert Paine actually coined the term keystone species to describe the effect that the sea stars had on biodiversity in this community

It is a part of a cell that resembles a bubble and where food and water are stored so that the plant can use them and turn them into oxygen.

Three species of lizard, labeled A, B, and C, are being studied using molecular analysis by two research colleagues in different
Andreyy89

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be option B.

The flaw in their reasoning is that they compared different molecules in a different set of organisms.  

For example, they compared the DNA of lizard A and B whereas they compared the RNA of lizard B and C.

In addition, the mutation rates of different molecules (DNA and RNA) are different and thus, comparison of DNA in one set of organism and comparison of RNA in another set cannot be used as the basis for the conclusion.
