Answer:

(A) speciation.

Explanation:

Shrinking of water bodies and development of deserts since the Pleistocene ice age produced new vacant niches that could be inhabited by organisms such as fishes. Production of new isolated streams, ponds, and springs allowed the fishes to occupy these new water bodies. Accumulation of genetic variations to become adapted to their new habitat resulted in the evolution of several new species of fishes with many different genetic traits. This represents speciation due to geographical isolation.

Answer:

Crossing over ensures that organisms of the same parents have differences in genetic content making them unique in one way or the other.

Explanation:

This question is describing the process of crossing over, which occurs only during prophase I of meiosis. During the process of crossing over, alleles of a gene are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes (mother and father chromosomes).

Hence, a unique GAMETE that has been genetically recombined will be formed. When these gametes are fertilized (egg) or fertilizes (sperm), organisms that are genetically different from their parents are produced. This ensures genetic variation, which is a difference in the genetic content of organisms.

Shalnov [3]

<span>The second statement is correct.  Viruses can infect all cellular life forms, but each cellular species can be infected by own limited specific range of viruses. Most viruses that harm animals can not harm humans. But, some viruses can infect different species of mammals, for example both bats and humans can be infected be rabies.</span>
