Pick a and b as the last two digits (and we may assume a is greater than b). Make the remaining first seven digits the same as each other (any way will be fine). The last two digits will be ab for the first number and ba for the second number. The value of ab is 10a+b, the value of ba is 10b+a. The difference is (10a+b)-(10b+a)= 9a-9b = 9(a-b). To minimise this we just make a and b consecutive integers - there are eight ways of doing this. There are 7! ways of arranging the first seven digits. So 8! ways of choosing the numbers.
One number is 987654321 minus the othernumber, which is 987654312 and the answer is therefore 9
Nine. Pick a and b as the last two digits (and we may assume a is greater than b). Make the remaining first seven digits the same as each other (any way will be fine). The last two digits will be ab for the first number and ba for the second number. The value of ab is 10a+b, the value of ba is 10b+a. The difference is (10a+b)-(10b+a)= 9a-9b = 9(a-b). To minimise this we just make a and b consecutive integers - there are eight ways of doing this, each of which will give the answer nine. There are 7! ways of arranging the first seven digits. So 8x7!=8! ways of choosing the numbers.

At least the following families: all integers; all positive integers; all odd integers; and all "square integers", that is, integers that are squares of other integers.
If they are integers, then the possible answers are {1, 6, 8} and {2, 4, 9}.If not, there are infinitely many possible solutions.If they are integers, then the possible answers are {1, 6, 8} and {2, 4, 9}.If not, there are infinitely many possible solutions.If they are integers, then the possible answers are {1, 6, 8} and {2, 4, 9}.If not, there are infinitely many possible solutions.If they are integers, then the possible answers are {1, 6, 8} and {2, 4, 9}.If not, there are infinitely many possible solutions.

1 and -26 is one possible answer.
There are 33.
The largest possible values for the integers are 47, 49, and 51.
The set of all real numbers is one possible answer.

It is not possible to tell if the difference give an organism an advantage because you have not given the difference.
This will work as long as "five" is an acceptable substitute for "several".
yes and it is possible to do
