<h2>Genetic diversity </h2>
Explanation:
If the environment changes, the species runs the risk of not having the genetic diversity to be adaptable to that change and could go extinct
- Genetic diversity is the diversity or genetic variability within species
- The huge variety of different gene sets defines an individual or a whole population's ability to tolerate stress from any given environmental factor
- While some individuals might be able to tolerate an increased load of pollutants in their environment, others carrying different genes might suffer from infertility or even die under the exact same environmental conditions;the former will continue to live in the environment the latter will either have to leave it or die
- Any change in the environment - natural or human induced causes a selection of events that only the fittest survive
- In case of elephant seals,overhunting reduces the sum of genes available,thus leaving behind a population that is less capable of tolerating any further natural or human disturbances in environment
- The loss of genetic diversity within a species can result in the loss of useful and desirable traits
The part of the phospholipid bilayer that interacts with water would be the hydrophilic portion consisting of the polar phosphate group. The hydrophobic tails which are the fatty acid chains will not interact with the water present in the aqueous environment.
Answer: British authorities based their colonial commercial policies on the theory of MERCANTILISM.
Explanation: Mercantilism is the system whereby a country amass wealth for itself at the expense of another country. The prosperity of a nation depends upon its supply of capital, and that the global volume of trade is unchangeable. This is done by increasing export significantly and reducing imports. It was used by the British to significantly amass wealth by importing commodities to Africa in exchange for gold and other precious metals.
