All organisms must have water for survival. If a drought causes the water in an ecosystem to become scarce, the organisms in this ecosystem will not have it as much water accessible to them.

a decrease in the water available to an organism for cellular processes will most likely result in

A. a decrease in optimal temperature ranges
B. an increase in activity level
C. an increase in metabolic activity
D. a decrease in metabolic activity

answer; /// i believe the name is ( check first good luck.hope this

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
