Protists exhibit different characteristics based on the phylum they are included in. which of the following characteristics would not be seen in protozoans?
a. they are single-celled organisms.
c. most species are motile.
b. they are plant-like organisms.
d. they have membrane-enclosed nuclei.

Protists belong to the group eukaryotes (having their DNA enclosed inside the nucleus). They are not plants, animals or fungi but they act like one. They can be in general subgroups such as unicellular algae, protozoa and molds. They thrive in environments with little sunlight. But they are not plant-like organisms. The answer is letter B.

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.
