invasive species:

a) can increase competition
b) prevent extinction
c) reduce disease in a population
d) are not native to the environment

I think that the answers are A and D.

For option A, we can come to the conclusion by thinking about the effects of invasive species. For example, when an invasive species appears in a specific environment and unfortunately feed on the same kind of plant as the native species, it will lead to the fact that they have to compete more in order to survive.

For option B, we can clearly see that it's wrong. From the point above, we can also predict that there is a high chance the invasive species will win the competition, resulting in the decrease population of the native specices that couldn't compete.

For option C, it is also impossible, instead the opposite is more likely to happen, because as we know, the native species, after a long period of evolution, became almost perfectly adapted to the environment, the appearance of invasive species may help the diseases that the native species weren't immune to spread faster, decreasing the population.

And I guess option D is obviously correct, no need to explain.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
