Answer:

Virus

Explanation:

A virus is an infectious particle which is composed of the genetic material enclosed in a protein structure called capsomere.

Since the virus does not fulfil the criterion of a living thing like it has its metabolism, reproduction, growth, movement and cellular structures therefore it is considered as a non-living thing.

Since the virus does not have reproductive machinery therefore they use the DNA replication machinery of host. They use the host's machinery by integrating their genome in the genome of the host and replicate their genome. Through this mechanism, they make copies of them.

Thus, the virus is the correct answer.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

c. Directional selection

Explanation:

There are three types of selection: stabilizing, directional and disruptive. Currently seed cracker finches show disruptive selection with respect to bills. In disruptive selection two extreme phenotypes are preferred in population over the mean phenotype. Here either, small or large bills are beneficial for birds so it is an example of disruptive selection.

If due to some climatic change all seeds would become hard, it would be more beneficial for birds to have large bills. Slowly nature will select for birds with large bills rather than birds with small bills. The selection now will shift to directional selection since only one of the extreme phenotypes is being favoured.

Anarel [89]

The answers are; geographical isolation and temporal isolation.

In temporal isolation, because the different species have different mating seasons, so even though their habitats overlap, they do not interbreeding is rare. Geographical isolation also plays a role because the different species are found predominantly in different sites during breeding, some in the woodland, some in the lowlands and others in streams.
