Why are scientists concerned about species loss even though extinction is a natural process?

Biology

PIT_PIT [208]3 years ago
8 0

The extinction of species is a natural process. Over the time, multiple species have become extinct. The process of natural selection ensures that only the most adapted species continue on the Earth. However, when the extinction rate increases then it causes a disbalance. The extinction of one species will cause a sudden rise in the species of its prey and this will cause a disruption. Therefore, the scientists are worried about the loss due to extinction even though it is natural.

Because, when more species start to become extinct it disrupts the balance of the earth. For instance if spiders became extinct, the numbers of insects would exponentially grow. Which will become a problem for farmers, and more diseases  would most likely  occur.

kobusy [5.1K]

The legislation authorized Medicine Chest be carried on every American Flag vessel of more than 150 tons back in the 1700's, so long as it had a crew of ten or more.

Suppose the fictional condition lycanthropy is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes an affected person to have a strong ph
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.  

Explanation:

As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.
