Microorganisms can mutate and evolve very quickly compared to most multicellular organisms. this allows pathogenic microorganisms to infect new species. suppose a very harmful microorganism that is quite successful at infecting hardwood trees is introduced into a forest ecosystem. what effect would this pathogenic microorganism most likely have? a. it would maintain the balance of the ecosystem by reducing the population of one species. b. it would maintain the balance of the ecosystem by reducing the populations of all the species. c. it would disrupt the ecosystem by infecting and killing the populations of all the species. d. it would disrupt the ecosystem by greatly reducing the population of a few species.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. in some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. in the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. applying the biological species concept, the sterility of ligers reveals that a. lions are probably a subspecies of tigers b. tigers and lions are the same species c. a new species called "ligers" is forming d. tigers and lions are separate species
