Biologist Rosanna Alegado believes that we might learn how multicellular organisms developed from single-celled ones if we understand why the single-celled organism Salpingoeca rosetta, the oldest living relative of animals, sometimes forms colonies of cells. Alegado and colleagues reviewed data from many studies of how S, rosetta responds when exposed to another type of single-celled organism, bacteria, including John P. Bowman's work with Algoriphagus ratkowskyi bacteria and Iftikhar Ahmed s work with Algoriphagus boritolerans bacteria. Alegado and colleagues concluded that both A, ratkowskyi and A, boritolerans might have played a role in the development of multicellular organisms.
Which finding,if true,would most directly support Alegadoand colleagues' conclusion?

Previous research has shown that plant species with a narrow geographical range tend to be more genetically homogeneous than plant species with extensive ranges are. Based on these findings, researchers recently ran simulations to predict how the genetic variation of several species of Mammillaria, a genus of cactus found throughout the Americas, might change in different distribution conditions. One of these species, M. anniana, is found only in the state of Tamaulipas. The researchers simulated what would happen if M. anniana spread to new habitats outside Tamaulipas, and, consistent with previous findings, the results showed that___
