Question

1. mass extinction events: completely stop evolutionary processes create opportunities for new species emergence maintain existing species populations have no significant impact on biodiversity

Explanation:

Mass extinctions clear out dominant species, opening ecological niches. This allows surviving species to adapt and diversify, leading to the emergence of new species over time. Evolutionary processes don't stop as natural selection and adaptation continue. Mass extinctions reduce rather than maintain existing species populations and have a huge impact on biodiversity by greatly decreasing the number of species.

Answer:

Create opportunities for new species emergence
