An earthquake that occurs near a river system weakens the walls of dams that beavers have built and the dams collapse. If anothe
r earthquake does not occur, what will most likely ha The flow of the river will change and the area will be taken over by other animals such as fish and reptiles.
o The beavers will rebuild the dams and the area will return to how it was before the earthquake
The beavers will adapt to the change and live in the river system without any dams present
o The beavers will not have a suitable habitat available and will gradually decline in number.
o The beavers will not have a suitable habitat available and will gradually decline in number.
Explanation:
According to this question, an earthquake that occurs near a river system weakens a dam wall built by beavers, which are aquatic rodents, and causes the dam to collapse. This initial earthquake will damage the habitat of these aquatic animals (beavers), which is barricaded by the walls built by them around the dam over time.
The walls prevent the constant flow of water but when the walls of the dam collapses, the water in the dam begins to flow excessively i.e floods. This causes the loss of habitat of beavers, hence, resulting in the declination of number
Gene. A segment of a DNA molecule (a sequence of bases) that codes for a particular protein and determines the traits (phenotype) of the individual. A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism.
