Answer:

D) sequence of the animal's DNA

Explanation:

It is sequence of the animal's DNA based on which they are classified. The animals which have more similarity in DNA sequence are considered as closely related and therefore they are classified in the same group whereas the animals which have dissimilar DNA sequence are considered as distantly located so they are classified in different groups. The structure of animal's ATP, function of the animal's limbs and composition of the animal's bones are not the criteria to classify animals.

The correct answer is letter D. The sequence of an animals' DNA is most likely the variable that scientists will look into to study it further. Knowing the genetic make-up of a particular organism is important so that they can be classified in particular groups and communities within an ecosystem.

  <span>Neutral mutations are neither harmful nor beneficial. 

Therefore, they are invisible to natural selection. (Since they neither improve nor worsen one individual's chances of survival and reproduction over another.) 

However neutral mutations can still spread into the population by just random replications and matings. This is called genetic drift. 

In other words, they are 'silent'. They are mutations that exist and propagate in populations, but seem to have no effect at all. 

The reason they can become important to evolution is that a day can come when they *do* have an effect. In other words, even though an individual mutation may have no immediate effect on survival or reproduction, a *combination* of neutral mutations may provide some new benefit or harm ... at which point natural selection *will* act on that combination.

How eutrophication can change an aquatic ecosystem into a land ecosystem
timama [110]

Eutrophication is the enrichment of an ecosystem with chemical nutrients, typically compounds containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or both.

Eutrophication can be a natural process in lakes, occurring as they age through geological time.

Eutrophication was recognized as a pollution problem in European and North American lakes and reservoirs in the mid-20th century.

Human activities can accelerate the rate at which nutrients enter ecosystems.
