Question

how are species introduced to new ecosystems? check all that apply. carried in on cargo crates transported in or on ships result from mutations in other organisms hidden inside produce or meat carried on clothing or in luggage intentionally introduced by humans coevolution of two species done

Explanation:

• carried in on cargo crates: Species can hitch a ride on cargo crates during transportation, introducing them to new areas.
• transported in or on ships: Ships can carry species in ballast water, on hulls, or with cargo, moving them to new ecosystems.
• hidden inside produce or meat: Pests or organisms can be hidden in imported produce or meat, entering new ecosystems.
• carried on clothing or in luggage: Humans can unknowingly carry species (like seeds, insects) on clothing or in luggage while traveling.
• intentionally introduced by humans: Humans sometimes introduce species for purposes like agriculture, pest control, or as pets (though some become invasive).

• result from mutations in other organisms: Mutations create new genetic variants within a species, not introduce new species to ecosystems.
• coevolution of two species: Coevolution is the reciprocal evolutionary change of two interacting species, not a means of species introduction to new ecosystems.
