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.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

- <em>maintaining a worldwide peace and security</em>

<em>- developing relations among nations</em>

<em>- fostering cooperation between nations in order to solve, economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian international problems</em>

<em>- providing a forum for bringing countries together to meet UN's purposes and goals</em>

Explanation:

The United Nations is an organization that was formed after the World War II. The main reason for the formation of this organization was to stop any further wars that can cause such terrible effects to the humanity. From this initial goal, the United Nations developed and evolved over time, starting to include numerous other things on their agenda, such as helping in bilateral disputes, setting the terrain for economic, social, cultural cooperation between the nations. Motivate the nations to help each other in times of need, all of which is done for the greater good of everyone on the planet.
