How do mutations affect population?
1. mutations change only an individual and do not pass down to offspring
2. mutations create different genes that have not been found in a population
3. mutation takes away unnecessary genes in population reducing variation

the food storage products of chrysophytes are oils or the polysaccharide laminarin.   formerly classified as plants, the chrysophytes contain the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a and c all but the yellow-green algae also contain the carotenoid pigment fucoxanthin.

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.

d. cellulose and starch

i'd have to say the answer is probable the second option "the geosphere interacting with the atmosphere"
