Answer: In the process of meiosis, alleles separate and are added to the gametes in an independent manner. While each gamete (egg or sperm cell) therefore contains one allele for each gene, it's impossible to know which allele, because alleles segregate in a random manner. However, it's possible to calculate probabilities that the offspring will have a given allele using Punnett squares.

I think the answer would be B but none of them are great. Continental drift is the gradual movement of our land masses. Knowing this we can eliminate option D because it identifies buildings as a cause. A and C both discuss climate change which is not a product of continents moving. The elimination leaves option B however because these changes would occur gradually, it is unlikely that species would become invasive.
