"The first and second hominids were able to mate and produce offspring, but the first and third hominids could not." <span>Although that might be the case, it might also not. "More similar" needn't be 'similar enough' (disregarding the fact that all homonid specimens involved could happen to share the same sex). </span>
<span>"The first and second hominids shared the same geographic location, while the third was isolated." </span>
<span>That information would be revealed by the geographic location they came from. </span>
<span>"The first and second hominids most likely became extinct before the third hominid species." </span>
<span>Perhaps or perhaps not. As ancestral lineages can survive for longer than descendant lineages, it needn't apply. Still, I suppose the non-existent law of averages provides some sort of justification for the use of "Most likely". </span>
<span>"The first and second hominids have a more recent common ancestor than the first and third hominids." </span>
<span>Assuming these are all in the same neat lineage, then the most recent common ancestor of the first and second is also the most recent common ancestor of the first and the third.</span>
Natural resource management (NRM) is the management of natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals, with a particular focus on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations (stewardship). Natural resource management deals with managing the way in which people..
Answer:
12-day litter weight is a trait that has an important genetic influence and therefore also a high response to selection
Explanation:
Heritability is a statistical measure of how much of the variation in a given trait can be attributed to genetic differences and how much of trait variation is due to environmental factors. A heritability value close to 1 indicates that almost all of the variability is due to genetic factors, while being poorly influenced by environmental factors. In this case, 12-day litter weight is a trait that exhibits an important genetic component (i.e., a high heritability value), thereby the correlation between parent and offspring will be high and lines selected for this trait will show a high response to selection.
