Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be "There is a lack of genetic variation for selection to act upon.".

Evolution is a gradual and natural process by which the characters of a population changes over several generations with the help of natural selection.

Reduction of population size up to 100 to 160 decreases overall genetic diversity of the population due to which the efficiency of natural selection decreases.

Consequently, the population of panthers may no continue to evolve.

Answer:

Option D , There is a lack of genetic variation for selection to act upon.

Explanation:

According to Darwin's theory of natural selection , when an organism  undergo uncontrolled mating or sexual intercourse with other organism of the same species it gets an opportunity to produce offspring of varied genetic characteristics that are more fit to sustain in a given environment depending on the available gene pool . Now, in this case when panthers are killed ruthlessly, the number of panthers will reduce and so the gene pool will also shrink.

Therefore, the mating panthers will not get the benefit of selection as to produce a fit offspring that could sustain in a given environment and hence they would not evolve further.

Thus, option D is correct

To preserve Zoological garden expertise are needed to manage the creatures that are there.

Good and conducive environment should be provided for the animals.

Routine cleaning to avoid outback of diseases

Adequate resources should be provided this include food to avoid eviction of important species.

Geosphere is made up of the crust they form the layer of soil that support growth of plant and also supply nutrients.

Atmosphere is made of gas some of which help sustain life. Example is oxygen, carbon dioxide

Hydrosphere form the liquid portion of the earth it included large water bodies that serves as habitat for aquatic organism.

Oxygen and carbon are been released into the atmosphere where they are been taking up by plant or animal dead and remains of this organism lead to the release of this gases in both organic and in organic form back into the soil where it is taken up by plants back into the atmosphere and some are washed in the water bodies.

Plants takes in carbon-dioxide from atmosphere, absorbs nutrients from the soil through their root and water from the water table needed fro their growth.

No, I think because everyone has a cell that looks the same only if the person isn't sick therefore they would have a lack of some vitamin.
