Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yield new species or offsprings.
This sexual selection then results in generations of offsprings that are genetically different from the rest of the same species due to uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species.
Thus, only option B is true.
Answer:
a.Most bacteria and fungi are harmless and may be beneficial to other living things.
Explanation:
Bacteria and Fungi are two distinct organisms that belong to different class of organisms. Fungi are eukaryotic while bacteria are prokaryotic. Although they both exist in different life forms such as being parasitic, saprophytic etc. most bacteria and fungi species are harmless and may even be beneficial to other living things.
Bacteria and Fungi are beneficial to other organisms in the sense that they form mutualistic relationships with other living organisms. For example, certain species of bacteria helps to fix nitrogen in the root nodules of leguminous plants, while fungi forms a mutualistic relationship with algae called LICHEN where they benefit one another in a way or the other.
Answer:
The correct answer is D) Fissures
Explanation:
Karst is a topography or landform that is created by the dissolution of soluble rocks beneath the surface by waters from the surface or below.
Fissures are formed when because of earth movements there is the occurrence of a long, narrow opening, in the earth.
Artesian springs refer to the water coming out through these cracks or openings in the earth onto the surface of the Karst topography.

Answer:
Apply the principle of parsimony
Explanation:
A cladogram is used to show or illustrate hypothetical speciation and relationships between species. They are commonly used to classify animals.
The principle of parsimony argues that the simplest of competing explanations is most likely to be correct.
In order to construct a cladogram that best reflects the evolutionary relationship of a group of species. Application of the principle of parsimony will help in deciding which tree is most likely to have occurred based on the fewest character state changes.
