Which of the following is not a negative factor of nonnative species?
a.
Disrupt the natural variability of native ecosystems
b.
Do not co-evolve with native species
c.
They clog propellers that boats use for propulsion
d.
They lack natural predators that help control their population
e.
Hybridize and form a sturdier species

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.

above statement is not a true statement about the open ocean because the open ocean has low levels of nutrients. most of the photosynthetic activity on earth occurs in the open ocean within the photic zone. organisms in the deep ocean are exposed to frigid temperatures and total darkness but it does not begin at the low-tide mark.
