The number of Florida Panther (Felis concolor) that survive in the wild today is estimated at about 80-100 animals. This very sm

all population is also very similar genetically. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, what is the MOST likely consequence for this panther population that is both small and genetically non-diverse?

Answer:

The panther population is going to extinct.

Explanation:

The panther population is likely to become extinct due to several reasons related to its very small population number. Two reasons follow:

1) In small populations there is more inbreeding (breeding between individuals closely related). Inbreeding increases the chances of the offspring being affected by deletereus homozygous genotypes. Such homozygosis can make the offspring be less able to survive and cause the population number to decline even more.

2)  The acquisition of a deleterious mutation in a small population is more likely to be spread in the population  than in a large population. If the frequency of a deleterious mutation increases rapidly, more individuals in the population will be affected and will have less chance of survival.

The most logical answer that I can think from Darwin's Theory of Evolution is that that species had been isolated from other possible panthers to mate with. So after generations of that isolated group of panthers their offspring would eventually become increasingly similar.

The coyote will become the apex predator and
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

No, coyote will not become the apex predator.

Explanation:

No, coyote will not become the apex predator but greatly reduces the populations of foxes in order to reduce competition for available resources. Yes, The coyote population will decreases because t he gray wolf kills coyote to avoid competition for food resources. If another wolf is introduced to fit the same ni che, the coyote population will decrease because the wolf feeds on coyote. As the number of coyotes increase, the number of beavers will decrease because coyote feeds on beaver. If the gray wolf became extinct,  the coyote population increases in that location due to no predator.

Isolation can be due to behavioral, geographical, or temporal barriers. <span>Speciation can take place in two general ways. A single species may change over time into a new form that is different enough to be considered a new species. This process is known as anagenesis. More commonly, a species may become split into two groups that no longer share the same gene pool. This process is known as cladogenesis. There are several ways in which anagenesis and cladogenesis may take place. In all cases, reproductive isolation occurs. Hope this helps! </span>

When plants are designed to contain more sets of chromosomes than normal, which of the following have humans taken advantage of?
jeka94
D.
Selective breeding

In selective breeding, the desired genes from one organism are combined with genes of another organism, resulting in a new combination of genes. 
<span>The selective breeding is quite voluntary and is not necessarily natural or congenital. It is the act of how people or individuals can choose traits in the gene pool of their choice  to produce their desired or goal organism in the process. This trait is influenced in the host of the specific sperm and egg cell which makes up the chromosomes. </span>

What is the benefit of composting?
andre [41]
Composting is a form of waste that uses organic materials to put into plants in order to help them grow and flourish. It saves energy, and it doesn't give off many gasses to help the Earth. 
However, it is ineffective on the large scale and cannot be mass produced to help Earth instantly because of the large amounts of inorganic materials.
