Here are the answers to your questions:
1. **Following a 5.0 earthquake in the Indian ocean...**:
- **The founder effect**. The 30 tortoises represent a small population that started a new population on the Seychelles Islands.
2. **Which of the following is not a method of movement for protists?**:
- **Water jet (like an octopus)**. This is not a protist movement method; protists primarily use flagella, cilia, or pseudopodia.
3. **Which of the following was not one of the challenges plants face when moving onto the land?**:
- **Gamete dispersal**. While it is a challenge for plants, it's not as historically significant as the others like overheating, structural support, or water loss.
4. **The part of the fungal body that is long and thin and can grow up to a mile in a day is…**:
- **The hyphae**. Hyphae are the filamentous structures of fungi.
5. **Why is DNA evidence useful in phylogenetic analysis?**:
- **All of these are great reasons DNA evidence is useful**. DNA evidence provides an objective basis for phylogenetic studies using various types of samples.

- **b. lichens**. Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae/cyanobacteria.

- **They cannot interbreed; this was a speciation event**. They may have developed reproductive isolation.
12. **Which statement is true about DNA mutations?**:
- **b. They are the source of most new alleles**. Mutations introduce genetic variation.
13. **Which statements about the plant kingdom is false?**:
- **c. Plants are mobile predators**. Plants are generally stationary and do not predate on organisms.

- **amoeba - free-living protist**. This is a correct match.
15. **Members of the phylum porifera (sponges)... Which cell type secretes the spicules**:
- **a. amoebocytes**. These cells are responsible for secreting spicules.
16. **Viral replication cannot take place without the help of…**:
- **b. a host cell**. Viruses require a host cell to replicate.
17. **When accumulation of small changes in the genes between two populations, eventually lead to the inability to have fertile offspring, that is called**:
- **a. speciation**.
18. **A male and female zebra finch are... This process is called**:
- **a. inbreeding**. This reduces genetic diversity over time.
19. **In the general alternation of generation’s lifecycle, the sporophyte generation grows from which single cell?**:
- **e. zygote**. The zygote develops into the sporophyte generation in the plant life cycle.
