Question no 1:
The correct answer is option A which is Sarah is correct because genetic diversity occurs over a long period of time.
Explanation:Genetic diversity is a large number of allelic combinations for a trait in specie in a population.Genetic diversity is caused due to mutations or random breeding in a specie.It is good for the adaptation of specie in an environment, due to diverse in genotypes and phenotype of a trait.Question number 2:
The correct answer is option B which is the species will adapt to the changes.
Explanation:Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.If the environment changes, the first thing a specie do is an adaptation to that change in the environment.Question 3.

The correct answer is option B which is, "Marie's plant will lean toward the sun so that it can get the most sunlight".
Explanation:The plant will lean towards the sun light by the mechanism of phototropism.Phototropism is the mechanism of growth of the plant in a specific direction in the response of light.There are two types of phototropism.One is a positive phototropism in which plant grows towards the light.The other is negative phototropism in which plant grows away from the light.In this question,the plant will do positive tropism.Question no. 5
The correct answer is option B which is, "The dodo bird could not adapt quickly to the challenges of the environment".
