Complete letter J
**Section I: Character Displacement**

Character displacement occurs when species competing for the same resource impose selection on one another.

**Section J: Phylogenetic Relationships**

A diagram displays a phylogenetic tree showing the relationships among several species: Seal, Horse, Giraffe, Hippopotamus, and Whale.

**Question:**
Which of the following is an accurate statement of relationships in the tree?

a. A seal is more closely related to a horse than to a whale  
b. A seal is more closely related to a whale than to a horse  
c. A seal is equally related to a horse and a whale  
d. A seal is related to a whale, but is not related to a horse  

**Section K: Gene Flow**

The absence of gene flow increases the differences between populations.

**Section L: Genetic Drift**

Drift acting independently in reproductively isolated populations increases the differences between populations.

**Section M: Tree Topology**

Four different phylogenetic trees (labeled a, b, c, and d) are provided. Tree "a" has species labeled as B, D, E, C, G, A, F. Tree "b" shows a nested branches format with the same species. Tree "c" is another hierarchical form but differs in structure. Tree "d" is circular. The question asks which tree has a different topology from the others.
