Explanation:
Tall, perennial grasses and herds of grazing herbivores are inhabitants of tropical and temperate biomes and not desert biomes.
Deserts do not support the growth of perennial grasses and a sustained herd population.
- A desert is an arid landscape with very little to no rainfall through the years.
- Plants needs water to manufacture their food and live.
- Since this condition is absent, they cannot thrive in such biomes.
- Grazing herbivores needs a lot of grasses to satisfy their foraging and ruminant nature.
- Since grasses are lacking, they cannot survive.

Natural selection is the process in nature by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more than those less adapted to their environment. For example, treefrogs are sometimes eaten by snakes and birds.
Answer:
Rotifers are specialists at living in habitats where water dries up regularly.
The Monogononta, which have males, produce fertilised 'resting eggs' which can resist desiccation (drought) for long periods.[11]
The Bdelloids, who have no males, contract into an inert form and lose almost all body water, a process known as cryptobiosis. Bdelloids can also survive the dry state for long periods: the longest well-documented dormancy is nine years. After they have dried, they may be revived by adding water. In this, and several other ways, they are a unique group of animals.[12]
Explanation:
The front has a ring of cilia circling the mouth. This gave the rotifers their old name of "wheel animalules". There is a protective lorica round its body, and a foot. Inside the lorica are the usual organs in miniturised form: a brain, an eye-spot, jaws, stomach, kidneys, urinary bladder.
Rotifers have a number of unusual features. Biologists suppose that these peculiarities are adaptations to their small size and the transient (fast changing) nature of its habitats.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
B is the most likely consequence because of the following facts we are told:
- After apple trees were introduced, some apple maggots began feeding from and laying their eggs on apple trees
- Adult apple maggots will only mate on the type of tree on which they were born.
This provides a geographical isolation (because they are feeding and laying eggs on separate trees) and reproductive isolation (because they will only mate on the type of tree on which they are born).
These two factors increase the chances that apple maggots feeding on apple trees will only encounter those who have mated on the same tree, and continue to mate this way. Over time, the populations (i.e. apple tree vs hawthorn tree) will intermix less and less. This will mean the genetic pool will become distinct, and natural selection will be acting differently (different habitats and different genes), encouraging speciation.
