I believe it’s true, since Competition will occur between organisms in an ecosystem when both try to use the same resource and the resource is in limited supply. Animals compete for food, water and space to live. Plants compete for light, water, minerals and root space.
An example of a population in which evolution could take place in a relatively short period of time could be pathogenic bacteria exposed to antibiotics.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Evolution if takes place within a short period of time say the next generation that is called as micro evolution. This is caused when a specific organism exposed in a different environment at once modifies its genes to suit the new environment. This phenomenon can be very well seen in the pathogenic bacteria which are exposed to antibiotics.
When an antibiotic is prescribed to bacteria initially it nullifies its effect by destroying it. When continuously exposed to a certain antibiotic some bacteria dies but there are few which becomes resistant to it and survives. This on the other hand multiplies producing a generation that can’t be touched by the antibiotic.

Answer:
These homologous structure indicates a common ancestry
Explanation:
When 4 organisms show homologous structures, they indicates they belongs to a common ancestor from where the changes takes place in them.
The organs which are structurally dissimilar but functionally same are called as homologous organism.
Answer:
b) and c)
Explanation:
Greenhouse gases are gases found in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation and trap the sun’s heat, thereby producing an effect known as <em>greenhouse effect.</em> By this natural way, the earth is able to be kept warm at an optimal temperature, to make it habitable for humans and other organisms. These gases referred to as <em>greenhouse gases</em> include, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and other trace gases found in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases could be likened to the glass in a greenhouse that helps in trapping heat to keep the greenhouse warm at optimal temperature necessary for plant growth and development.
Without this natural greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, life on earth would be almost impossible as the earth would almost be covered with ice below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
The increased level of greenhouse gases we now find in the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the additional warming of the earth’s surface, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which results in global warming.
Statement a) cannot be used as an explanation because it is false. Greenhouse effect makes the earth habitable.
Statement d) cannot be used as an explanation because carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that matters. Water vapour, CFC and methane also have impacts.
<em>Statement b) and c) are the best statements to use in explaining the true nature of greenhouse effect.
