<h2>There are actually many factors that can lead to the rise of a new species:</h2>

Changes in the environment (this is a very general and non-specific way of speaking and you should probably not add this to your list) - the environment is under constant change, but the changes are only noticable after some years or decades (if the changes are drastical in months). These changes lead to changes in species, that also, if too drastical, can originate new ones.

If a species changes, wont it just be the same species with different characteristics? - No, because not all individuals will change. If there are the same species in India and in the USA, let's say, but only the ones in the USA change, there will be one species in India (original) and another in the USA with new characteristics (new species). Also, even if they're in the same geographic location, we cannot guarantee that all individuals wil change or will change the same way.

____________________________________________________

Natural selection - the selection of best-adapted individuals can make new species out of the better adapted ones. All we need is a "base-species" where individuals have different characteristics, with no paricular function. Suddenly, things start to change and only the individuals with certain characteristics will survive originating a new species from the now extinct one.

____________________________________________________

Isolation - when some individuals separate themselves (during migration, a hunt, or simply a separation) they can develop different traits depending on where they go and how they live.

____________________________________________________

Genetic drift - to keep things simple, a genetic drift is when modifications in a gene occur (or eliminations of a gene occur), either because of death or because of a lack of reproduction within a species. This can clearly originate new species, since we're dealing with genes.

____________________________________________________

Genetic mutation - genetic mutation is a process in which the DNA sequence of a species mutates (changes), through substitution, deletion or insertion. This is the main reason of diversity within species or genus.

____________________________________________________

<em>Note: there are more types of genetic changes and isolations we could name (also some evolutive processes) but the above are the most important ones in my opinion.</em>

In case of a Natural Disaster, taking the desition about who must receive the benefits of a donation is: a. A Dilemma of Justice
4vir4ik [10]

In case of a Natural Disaster, taking the decision about who must receive the benefits of a donation is "a locus of authority".

<u>Option:</u> D

<u>Explanation:</u>

A locus of authority arises when questions are raised about who is accountable or under which jurisdiction anything falls. In the scenario of some health, law or environmental (natural disaster) emergency the central or state governments are responsible for releasing funds to rescue the region by providing basic needs like food, medical aids, etc.

This phase is very important for the head of nation because allocating fund is easy but in right hands is trick, so the authority to whom fund is handover for further processing via right channel and to targeted audience is uttermost priority, also in time.

Study the structure of the plant growing on the rock in the image. Based on its structure, to which group does the plant belong?
dusya [7]

The plants can be classified based on their vascular and reproductive structures. The plant given in the image belongs to the Bryophyta.

<h3>What is Bryophyta?</h3>

The non-vascular plants that are a part of the plant classification are found in moist places and are small in size belongs to the Bryophyta.

The plant of this classification have a leafy multicelled plant body, that lacks true leaves, roots, and stems.  They are green plants and also contains chloroplast for food synthesis.

The vascular tissue like xylem and phloem are completely absent and hence the transportation does not occur through specialized systems.

Therefore, option A. Bryophyta is the plant growing on the rock.
