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.

How does the structure of the cell membrane support its function?
mylen [45]

Answer:

Phospholipids form the basic structure of a cell membrane, called the lipid bilayer. Scattered in the lipid bilayer are cholesterol molecules, which help to keep the membrane fluid consistent. Membrane proteins are important for transporting substances across the cell membrane

Organic molecules that end in the suffix "-ase" often function as ________ molecules.
dimaraw [331]

The given blank can be filled with enzymatic molecules.  

Enzymes refer to biological molecules or proteins, which function as catalysts and assist the composite reactions to take place everywhere in life. The enzymes generally end with the suffix - ase. For example, proteases, which functions to dissociate the peptide bonds between the amino acids.  

Enzymes are big molecules, which accelerate the rate of chemical reactions within the cells, and like all other kinds of proteins, they comprise lengthy chains of amino acids.
