Explanation:

Took the test, got it wrong showed the answers.

Answer 2

The diversity of life on Earth is because of the following reasons:

• Natural selection acted on phenotype that were the result of new mutation in a population.
• Natural selection acted on isolated populations separately, allowing for those populations to diverge over time allowing for speciation.

Natural selection

• Natural selection can be defined as the differential survival and reproduction of those organisms that have beneficial traits over others.
• Those organisms have beneficial phenotype suitable for the environment survive in the adverse environmental conditions.
• The beneficial traits pass on from parents to offspring this leads to the speciation.
