Which of the following statements is true? Parasites benefit their hosts. Parasitism causes both the parasite and host to adapt
marshall27 [118]
Parasites benefit their hosts is the true statement. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism (the parasite) benefits from another organism and this other organism is harmed by the parasite.
The others aren't true because:
- the organism that is harmed doesn'y adapt and evolve it still is vulnerable
- it is a fact that parasites change from hosts
- phoresy is an association between two species in which one transports the other. This does not include killing the host (is possible, but it is not a condition under which you can call something a phoresy).

Option A and C and D

Explanation:

Gylcogen is synthesized through a series of reactions through the assistance of enzymes.

In glycogenesis, glycogen is broken down into glucose 1-phosphate with the help of two glycogen phosphorylase. In the next stage the glycogen debranching enzyme untangles the branch points.

Hence, option A and C and D are correct

Biogeographic isolation separates of a species through geographical and biological forces.
xenn [34]

Biogeographic isolation refers to the separation of the members of the similar species, or a group of organisms, which breed and generate offspring that can further give rise to young ones.  

The separation can be achieved by the geographical forces like oceans, rivers, and mountains, and by the biological forces, like hunting times, and spring or fall mating.
