Which paragraph in the section "Speciation" BEST supports the idea that animals can adapt in ways that allow multiple species to

survive together in a common area?
Question 2 options:


A) Sometimes, an organism develops an adaptation or set of adaptations that create an entirely new species. This process is known as speciation.


B) The wide variety of marsupials in Oceania is an example of how organisms adapt to an isolated habitat. Marsupials, mammals that carry their young in pouches, arrived in Oceania before the land split with Asia. Placental mammals, animals that carry their young in the mother's womb, came to dominate every other continent, but not Oceania.


C) Koalas, for instance, adapted to feed on eucalyptus trees, which are native to Australia. The extinct Tasmanian tiger was a carnivorous marsupial and adapted to the niche filled by big cats like tigers on other continents. Marsupials in Oceania are an example of adaptive radiation, a type of speciation in which species develop to fill a variety of empty ecological niches.


D) The cichlid fish found in many of Africa's lakes exhibit another type of speciation, sympatric speciation. Sympatric speciation is the opposite of physical isolation. It happens when species share the same habitat. Adaptations have allowed hundreds of varieties of cichlids to live in Lake Malawi. Each species of cichlid has a unique, specialized diet: One type of cichlid may eat only insects, another may eat only algae, another may feed only on other fish.

When the comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, was introduced into the Black Sea, its population exploded to 500 comb jellies per cubic
nikitadnepr [17]

The answer is invasive species.


Invasive species are species that are not native to specific ecosystem, but they have a capability to spread widely through the ecosystem, This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm. 

<span>After being introduced into the Black Sea, they greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they have no natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction of some native species.</span>

Other than shape, what characteristics are used to identify the various bacterial species?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

One major characteristic used to identify bacterial species is by Gram staining. This makes bacteria to be classified into two broad classes; Gram positive bacteria (appear purple after stain) and Gram negative bacteria (appear pink after stain).

Another characteristic used is the presence or absence of capsule.

Other characteristics include there motility (which can be due to the presence of flagella), bonding tendency (which can be individually or in pairs) and also pathogenic bacteria can be classified as intracellular or extracellular bacteria.
