1. Two separate individuals are combined together
Explanation:
The DNA could be dried -through the process of lyophilization- or stored, as a precipitate of ethanol, in liquid nitrogen (temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius). The aim is to reduce water in the stored samples as much as possible because the water can be involved in natural hydrolytic reactions (depurination, depyrimidination, deamination, and hydrolytic cleavage) that could degrade the nucleic acids of the DNA.
If the DNA is stored while being used regularly it is not advisable to store it as a precipitate of ethanol. It should be stored in aqueous form but in a slightly alkaline pH of about 8.5 to prevent acid-catalysed degradation processes.

Answer:
D. The native snail species will compete for resources with the invasive species and destabilize the ecosystem
Explanation:
In Ecology, an invasive species refers to a species of organism that is foreign i.e. non-native to a particular habitat or environment. They are characterized by the ability to proliferate in growth and compete for space and nutrients with the native species in the habitat they are introduced to.
In this case, the giant african land snail, which is an invasive species, if introduced into a stable ecosystem will compete for resources with the native species of that ecosystem leading to the destabilization of the ecosystem.
