All of the following are threats to biodiversity except species preservation. Biodiversity refers to the different variety of life that inhabit an ecosystem. Species preservation is the act or process of preserving organisms that live in an ecosystem. In a way it is preventing the further destruction or decay of a particular species that are dwindling in numbers. Human activities (e.g. hunting, habitat destruction) are the biggest threat to biodiversity, but the irony of it all is that humans are also responsible for the protection and preservation of these species.

RW x RW

RR RW RW WW

Expected genotypes: 1/4 RR, 1/2 RW, 1/4 WW

Expected phenotypes: 1/4 red-flowered plants, 1/2 pink-flowered plant, 1/4 white-flowered plant.

A disease breaks out among sheep in California. A scientist takes blood from the sheep and grows a previously unknown organism.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Koch's postulates".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

a) spontaneous generation

b) Koch's postulates

c) epidemiology

d) vaccination

The correct answer is option b) "Koch's postulates".

Koch's postulates propose four criteria used to establish that a pathogen is responsible for a disease. In his famous experiments, Robert Koch was able to prove that Bacillus anthracis is the cause of anthrax by injecting to a mouse an isolated culture from the blood of an injected sheep. The scenario established in the question is very similar to anthrax, and the scientific approach to look for the pathogen of the disease is following the principles of Koch's postulates.
