As the continents drifted apart, it slowly took the animals with them. Animals became isolated on the large masses of land without control of the climate change. Some continents went to cold areas, some to dry areas and some to tropical areas. As time went by, the animals learned to adapt to the different environments and they multiplied and bred according to what animals survived best in each different type of habitat. Also, because the continents were so far apart, interbreeding became impossible so new species began to appear in each isolated area. This was because both random mutation and natural selection were contained in a smaller space and continued without the genetic influence of other species, which would have caused much less variety. As time went on, new species continued to appear and they became more and more specialized for each new environment.

What is definition of protista?
Protista are neither plants nor animals. They have characteristics of both plants and animals. They make their own food just like plants but move around like animals.
The study of the patterns in the distribution of plants and animals around the world is?
Biogeography is the study of these patterns in the distribution of plants and animals around the world, considering factors such as climate, geography, and evolution.
In each theory what causes the extinction of plants and animals?
Asteroid Impact : Plants and organisms that performed photosynthesis died, and many animals that depended on those plants for food died, too Volcanic Eruptions : The volcanic dust blocked the sun's energy from reaching Earth's surface, causing plants, and animals to die.
Do animals have a nuclear envelope?
Yes, all animals and plants have a nucleus with a nuclear membrane around it.
Name three daily changes which might affect plants and animals?
Temperature fluctuations can affect the growth and behavior of plants and animals, influencing their metabolic processes and overall health. Changes in sunlight exposure can impact the photosynthesis in plants and the behavior of diurnal animals, altering their activity patterns. Variations in precipitation levels can affect the availability of water and nutrients for plants and animals, influencing their growth, reproduction, and survival.
How does continental rifting lead to changes in plants and animals?
Continental rifting will cause plants and animals to evolve due to their changing habitats. Plants and animals that become isolated will begin to diverge and change to fit into their new ecosystems.
How did plant seeds get to Australia?
Australia has not always been an isolated continent in a distant part of the globe. It was once connected to a larger continental mass known as Gondwanaland, and plants and animals were widely spread throughout this continental mass. Continental drift and the separation of the continents meant that certain plants and animals tended to become specialised in particular areas.
What plants and animals do jellyfish hang around?
There are many plants and animals that jellyfish like to hang around. Jellyfish particularly like to hang around the fish they eat.
What is definition of protista?
Protista are neither plants nor animals. They have characteristics of both plants and animals. They make their own food just like plants but move around like animals.
How do the animals affect the plants?
Animals' dung make fertilizer for the plants, enriching the soil. Animals eat plants. Animals trod on plants. Animals consume pesky insects that bother plants. Animals consume not-so pesky instects that help plants. Animals pluck plants and wave them around. Animals rub their rears in plants to mark their territory. Animals' dead bodies make fertilizer, which makes it a tad less disgusting than dung fertilizer. Animals affect the plants in many ways, fundamentally.
What role do plant and animal play in maintaining ecological balance write impact implication on the environment if it inbalance?
Plants and animals are fundamental to ecological balance. Plants could exist without animals but animals could not live without plants. Without animals plants would eventually stabilise to a new level of ecological equilibrium.
How do animals survive in the Amazon?
they eat on the plants and fruit around them
Where did the earliest animals and plants live?
It was around in South America!!!!!!
How do plants get around?
wind, animals, sometimes water or erosion
Why are plants and animals perfect for each other?
Plants create oxygen for the animals to breath, and the animals turn that into carbin dioxide, so that the plants can breath that in, and give the animals more oxygen. This cycle goes on around everywhere, including humans.
