Forest elephants in africa have been confirmed as a different species from the the larger savanna elephant seen here. although both animals are elephants, they have distinct differences in their and thus are classified as different species. a) dna b) foods c) niches d) sizes

Option A

Explanation:

Species defines a gene pool i.e the maximum number of gene sets or variations with any species that can exist under natural conditions.

It basically means that two species belonging to same species group have the potential to interbreed and produce offspring that are capable of reproducing further.

Here, the two elephants groups  in Africa belongs to different species therefore they must be having different gene pool.

Hence, option A is correct

in addition to being able to metabolize, grow, digest food, and excrete wastes, what other functions must an organism perform if it is to survive? survival also depends on the ability to maintain one's boundaries, to move, to respond to stimuli, and to reproduce. oxygen is a survival need.
