B. Sympatric evolution. is responsible to this. It's the process of evolving species from one shared ancestor in the same geographic region.

Answer:

The kind of evolutionary mechanism responsible for both snakes is B) Sympatric Evolution. 

Explanation:

We need to study two species of snakes, the Emerald Tree Bow and the Boa Constrictor, they belong to the same genus. However, the former is tree-dwelling and needs high humidity whereas the latter is terrestrial and requires a dry environment.

To explain this phenomenon we present a similar example: Imagine that your family has lived in the same house for many years. After that, imagine that your sister moves out of that house and into a house in a nearby neighborhood. She begins a new family there and, through the years, her family continues to grow and live in this new house.  When your family separated, you became different groups of people from the same common ancestor. Eventually, you might even evolve enough to feel that there are more differences between you than similarities. When this happens in nature, it's called sympatric speciation. This process allows new species to evolve from a common ancestor, while the new and old species are still living in the same geographic region.

This example is almost the same as both snakes. Sympatric Evolution was responsible for this phenomenon.

Finally, we can conclude that the kind of evolutionary mechanism responsible for both snakes is B) Sympatric Evolution.

Answer:

First, the activity that humans execute that affects their ecosystem positively is reforestation. Second, the activity that humans execute that affects their ecosystem positively is hunting. Their effects rely completely in nature, however, one improves the ecosystem by making it greener and increasing the space nature has to grow, while the other impacts the ecosystem negatively by unbalancing the food chain.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are that in the first place the ecosystem is a very sensitive environment that can be affected by a wide range of factors. In the first place, reforestation helps the environment have better conditions for the animals that live in it, as well as to provide the human race a better quality of air, water and feel better after living in a more natural ecosystem. While hunting breaks the ecosystem's balance because it allows the food chain of the ecosystem to break and allow a general modification.
