Answer:
Lichens are often the first organism to colonize a new surface such as bare rock.
Many organisms require soil before they can colonize an area. Lichens that colonize bare rock secrete acids that break down the rock and start the soil-production process. Also, as lichens die, they provide some organic matter that also contributes to soil.

The function of the FtsZ is analogous to the cleavage furrow
of the cells of eukaryotes of an animal. This is a protein encoded by the gene
FtsZ in which this protein has the capability of producing a new cell wall that
is in between the dividing cells.
Answer:
E) horizontal gene transfer
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer can also be referred to as lateral gene transfer. It is the transmission of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) between different genomes.
Horizontal gene transfer has been shown to occur between different species, such as between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
Horizontal gene transfer is made possible by the existence of genetic elements, such as plasmids, transposons, and bacteriophages (bacteria that infects viruses).
