Habitat destruction is the leading cause for declining populations of species on our planet. Due to human development, industry,

and forestry, humans are destroying the habitat of many species at an alarming rate. Consider the bald eagle. The bald eagle population was threatened in the late 60s and early 70s. Thanks to an aggressive bald eagle protection program, bald eagle numbers in the wild have soared as seen in the population graph above. The bald eagle's population very nearly reached extinction. Why did the bald eagle's declining population make it more vulnerable to extinction?

<u>Answer</u>: Due to loss of genetic diversity.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Genetic diversity</em> is the variation in the genes among the population of organisms.
  • Genetic diversity helps the organisms to adapt to the changing environments and hence, increase their population.
  • As the population of the endangered species is reduced, their <em>genetic diversity is also lost.</em>
  • So, due to the<em> loss of the genetic diversity </em>the bald eagle's declining population becomes more vulnerable to extinction as they cannot adapt to the changing environment.

The decrease in the number of eagles made them more vulnerable to extinction because people were hunting them and they couldn't repopulate as fast as they were being killed.

Which of these statements is true of ecosystems? a animals do not travel from one ecosystem to another ecosystem b the total amo
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

I think the answer is B. I think energy decreases as it moves up tropic levels when it is lost as the organisms from one level consume the organisms in the other.

Explanation:

It can't be A because animals do travel from one ecosystem to another. It's migration. It's not C because air can be used by organisms as once as the air moves out of their ecosystem because air is everywhere and the organisms need air to breathe and to live. D is definitely incorrect because matter can't be created or destroyed. Remember that an ecosystem is the organisms physical environment. I hope this answers your question.

The cells in the meristematic region of the root are undergoing
tangare [24]

The answer is d. mitosis.

The cells in the meristematic region of the root are embryonic cells. Thus, these undifferentiated cells have the capacity to undergo continuous mitotic divisions and divide into new cells. The meristematic region of the root contains meristem cells for the root growth.

A couple has three children, two without sickle cell anemia and one with sickle cell anemia. The mother has sickle cell anemia a
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sickle cell allele is recessive. Hence, in order for any child of the couple to have sickle cell anemia, such a child will have to inherit an affected allele each from the two parents. This means that both the father and the mother must have affected alleles in their genotypes. In other words, two sickle cell alleles are required for the abnormality to manifest.

Let us assume that the sickle cell allele is represented by S and the normal allele is represented by A.

Now, it is established that the mother has sickle cell anemia, her genotype would be SS. The father does not have sickle cell, his genotype can either be AA or AS.

Assuming the genotype of the father is AA:

          SS   x   AA

      AS   AS   AS   AS

<em>All the children would be normal in this case.</em>

Assuming that the genotype of the father is AS

           SS    x    AS

      AS   SS   AS   SS

<em>50% of the children would have sickle cell while the remaining 50% would be normal.</em>

<u>Therefore, in order to produce children with sickle cell, the father has to be AS, otherwise, he has to be AA.</u>
