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.

Which of these lost out to portugal after the ottoman conquest of constantinople?
8_murik_8 [283]

The Portuguese made an expedition to Otranto, Italy in 1481 after the conquest of constantinople,  the so called "Cruzada Turca". Pope Sixtus IV  called for a crusade against the Turks, who occupied Otranto in southern Italy. The Pope's intention was to cross the Adriatic and liberate Vlorë (Valona) as well.

Portugal sent a squadron into Otranto under command of the bishop of Évora, Garcia de Meneses.

By the time the Portuguese reached Naples, the Ottomans had already withdrawn, because  the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed II, had died, which made it easier for the Portuguese to have another italian city.

sammy [17]
The correct answer is West Virginia. It was made due to secession, it did not exist as a state before the war began. When the war began and the proclamation was made, it was not yet an official state and as such laws did not apply to it the same way it did before.
