Drastic changes in environmental conditions can sometimes cause drastic changes to the gene pool of the population.

<span>Genetic drift is a random change in allele frequencies that occurs in a small population.  Because there are so few parents in small populations, the frequencies in the offspring produced may differ from allele frequencies in the parents. This can result in certain genes disappearing as individuals die, or do not reproduce. Natural disasters can wipe out certain individuals (or whole parts) of a population. When this happens, genetic drift is the result. </span>

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE <br><br> What impact do trees have on the food web?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Abiotic factors such as latitude and temperature can impact biotic aspects of food web structure like the number of species, the number of links, as well as the proportion of basal or top species. These biotics factors can in turn influence network-structural aspects like connectance, omnivory levels or trophic level. In this way, plants make, or produce, the beginnings of most of the food energy on Earth. This is why plants are called producers. They use some of the food energy to carry out their own functions, and store the rest of the energy in their leaves, stems, roots and other parts.

A newly discovered animal reproduces slowly. It has only one offspring each time it reproduces. Which reproductive strategy does
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

C: K Strategy

Explanation:

The best choice will be C- K strategy because this type of strategy involves greater investment from parents into their offspring. These organisms are mostly higher organisms which reproduce slowly and ensure the maximum survival of their offspring. They compete strongly with other organisms and invest more in their survival by producing fewer quality offspring that have more survival opportunities.

Example of K-selected species include  larger mammals (such as primates and horses), birds and larger plants. Unlike their opposite R-selected specie which produce large number of offspring, K selected specie are called in Equilibrium wile R-selected species are called as opportunistic.

Thank you!
