<span>Animals gradually adapt to changes within their environment over time. This gives them a better chance of surviving rather than going extinct because of the change. Say there is a gene mutation affecting color within a population of beetles in a rain-forest. All of the beetles used to be red, but now a few of them have experienced a gene mutation and are green. Because they live in a rain-forest, it is likely that the green beetles would blend in with their surroundings far better than the original red beetles, and those red beetles would be wiped out by predators because they are easier to spot. The green beetles would live on and flourish, and their population would increase. Soon there would be few or none red beetles, and many green beetles.</span>
Microorganisms can be defined as the organisms which are seen with the aid of microscope. This category includes the bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa and viruses. These microorganisms play an important role in the decomposition of the biological materials. The nutrients are also recycled by these microorganisms. the microorganisms bound in a soil serve this purpose. Moreover, the microorganisms, such as algae carry out the process of photosynthesis and make their own food.
Some of the microorganisms have complex relationships with different animals and plants both, which help in their survival.
Hence, the right options will be "carry out photosynthesis, decomposition, and nutrient recycling'.
