Answer:

D - Its genetic diversity is very low

Explanation:

An extinction vortex can be defined as the process which populations in decline pass through to drive them into a vortex of smaller populations, endangering their survival as they tread the path to extinction.

Populations that fall to extinction vortex already have small populations which is usually as a result of certain powerful genetic factors, which cause the populations to continue to decline in size.

During genetic drift which occurs in all populations, small populations tend to lose genetic diversity as a result of the random nature of gamete sampling.

This is because any change in alleles in a small populations can have dastardly effects on the populations size due to a small gene pool.

Natali [406]

Answer:

The correct answer is E) eutely

Explanation:

Nematodes are organisms with bilateral symmetry, although their organs are coiled, sometimes one of the limbs is lost and many of sedentary life tend to radial symmetry. One of the most striking characteristics of these animals is that their growth is not produced by an increase in the number of cells that compose them, but by an increase in the size of the already existing cells; in fact, in most adult tissues the number of cells is constant, a phenomenon known as eutelia.

Eutelia is the condition of an organism composed of a constant number of cells or syncytial nuclei in all adult individuals of a species, such as nematodes, it means that body growth is not carried out by increasing the number of cells but by the growth of existing cells.

Match the enzymes with the molecules they help break down<br> a. Amylase<br> b. Pepsin<br> c. Lipase
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The correct  matches are given as follows:

a. Amylase - Starch

b. Pepsin - Protein

c. Lipase- fats

Explanation:

The digestion can be defined as the breaking down of the complex compounds of food into simpler compounds for their better absorption. There are various enzyme that help in the process of digestion. Amylase, pepsin, and lipase are enzymes.  The amylase is an enzyme responsible for breakdown of starch. The pepsin is responsible for the breakdown of protein into amino acids. The lipase is responsible for breakdown of fats.
