Answer:
The Tasmanian devil introduction:
Explanation:
The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is threatened with extinction because of a contagious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumor Disease. The inability to mount an immune response and to reject these tumors might be caused by a lack of genetic diversity within a dwindling population. Here we report a whole-genome analysis of two animals originating from extreme northwest and southeast Tasmania, the maximal geographic spread, together with the genome from a tumor taken from one of them. A 3.3-Gb de novo assembly of the sequence data from two complementary next-generation sequencing platforms was used to identify 1 million polymorphic genomic positions, roughly one-quarter of the number observed between two genetically distant human genomes. Analysis of 14 complete mitochondrial genomes from current and museum specimens, as well as mitochondrial and nuclear SNP markers in 175 animals, suggests that the observed low genetic diversity in today's population preceded the Devil Facial Tumor Disease disease outbreak by at least 100 y. Using a genetically characterized breeding stock based on the genome sequence will enable preservation of the extant genetic diversity in future Tasmanian devil populations.

Although it's a bit counter-intuitive, Columbia actually never explored North America, instead visiting the other locations on this list instead. This lead to great discoveries but lots of suffering for the local inhabitants.

Why might the loss of the polish corridor and Danzig have been especially difficult for Germans
aev [14]

Because Germany would be close off and isolated from the rest of the world, it would be hard to get there and there would be lack of transportation.

How did Henry use of persuasive rhetoric influence the start of the American revolution
timurjin [86]

<u>The way Henry used of persuasive rhetoric influence the start of the American revolution:</u>

Henry Patrick was one of the United States Founding Fathers and the first Virginian Governor. He was a talented speaker in the American Revolution and a leading figure. His stimulating discourses, including a lecture to the Virginia parliamentary Assembly in 1775 in which he was famous as saying, "Give me freedom, or give me death!"—America's freedom war has been fired up.

Patrick Henry used persuasive rhetoric in this speech to encourage the Virginian prominent, wealthy men, to take away much of their previous political policy, in contrast to the more traitorous one, the more transparent military preparedness, of British hostility.

Henry spoke without any notes. His popular address contains no transcripts. In 1817, the only recorded edition of the speech was published by the writer William Wirt in his autobiography, which prompted some scholars to believe that Wirt might have made the famous quote from Patrick Henry to sell a copy of his book.
