Answer:

B) ecological succession

Explanation:

The analogy given in this question describes ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION, which is the series of changes that an ecosystem undergoes over a period of time. Ecological succession is of two types viz: Primary succession and Secondary succession.

Primary succession involves the series of changes that occurs on a new habitat that has never been previously colonized. This is the case of the colonization of bare rocks with no plant life by LICHENS. The action of the lichen, which involves secretion of acids that disintegrates the rocks into soil, paves way for the colonization of that area by new species.

Lichens, via the role they play in primary succession by helping alter a barren area into a fertile one that accommodates other organisms, makes them be regarded as PIONEERS of primary succession.

The <u>glyptodont </u>was a giant, armadillo-like animal with a spiked tail that once lived in Florida.

The Origin of Species is a book written in 1859 about<u> </u><u>natural selection</u>.

Nature selects the <u>fittest </u>for survival because they have useful traits.

Changes may occur in animals due to changes in the sequence of base pairs in their DNA, and this is known as a <u>mutation</u>.

Oldfield mice show <u>variation </u>in the color of their fur.

The survival of the light-colored old field mice on Florida's Gulf Coast is an example of the process called <u>adaptation</u>.

Evolution is a controversial theory that has survived much <u>criticism</u>.
