Species. It is the last taxonomic level
The answer is they produce endospores.
Explanation:
The endospores are dormant, non-reproductive, tough bacterial spores that ensure the survival of bacteria in adverse conditions.
During the environmental stress, such as starvation, desiccation, radiation and chemical treatment many bacteria form dormant endospores. These endospores germinate again when the conditions become favorable.
Hence, if drought conditions lead the stream to dry up, the bacteria that live there would produce endospores to survive.
This might be more answerable if there were a picture to better describe the problem
<u>Answer</u>:
Option d. many small changes can create a whole new species
<u>Explanation</u>:
In the natural selection when the animals gets adapted in a better manner, they tends to thrive in and gets the ability to reproduce more which leads to the formation of the new bigger species. It leads to a change when the individual with few characteristic have the survival chance more also the reproductive rate as compared to others individuals in the group and also passes these inheritable genetic traits to the offspring.
A characteristic of carbon is that it is highly reactive and can form unstable bonds with any available atom.
