Answer:
b. multicellular fungus
Explanation:
In a recent study, it was discovered that there was a genetic relationship between multicellular organisms like protozoa and animals and fungi have a common ancestor as their ancestors had contact about 1.1 billion years ago.
Therefore, the organism that was most likely the most recent common ancestor of all animals is multicellular fungus
Answer:
The Geographic barrier would have led to speciation in the finches which started from the founder effect where the finches were brought to other areas of the Galapagos. They were separated geographically so they could not mate with each other. Over time, evolution occurs through natural selection and genetic drift. This leads to the population being so different so they have reproductive barriers and can no longer interbreed. They become different species.
Explanation:
Hope this helps you understand better.
The difficulty with this answer, lies in the fact that not all of land and ocean biomes have been completely explored. The ocean is vast, covering approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, with literally vertical miles or kilometers of depth, and with some areas with sparse to no biodiversity. The same can be said about certain areas of large deserts with very low levels of biodversity, void of life, like vast deserts of the Sahara or Gobi. But, the Amazon rain forest contains still unknown species of plant and animal life, just like the ocean. Because of its vastness, intellectually, I would say the ocean contains more biodiversity, but the answer is scientifically, as of now, yet to be proven one way or the other.
