Answer:
a) Inbreeding
b) Decreased
Explanation:
Florida panther is considered an endangered species that is found in very few numbers in the environment.
In the given question,
a) The Florida panther scattered in the mountains which could affect the flow of the genes (migration). When it mated with the other sub-species, it could have led to the inbreeding.
b) Since the lion scattered in the mountains, the gene flow could have occurred and this could have decreased the genetic variation in the population of the Panthers.
Answer:
This lack of fossil data is expected, because the fossil record is incomplete.
Explanation:
Fossilization is a slow, complex and extremely rare process that depends on several favorable conditions for the conservation of traces or materials left by an organism:
1 - Rapid burial of the material;
2 - Presence of rigid parts that are more resistant to degradation;
3 - The type of sediment should be thin and less prone to erosion.
4 - The environment in which the material is located should be low in oxygen to avoid degradation due to oxidation.
5 - The temperature of the place where the material is buried should preferably be cold because the action of decomposing microorganisms in these environments is much lower.
Therefore, it is very common and expected that the fossil record is incomplete.
Answer: plateaus
Explanation: there not canyons so you can cross that off and its not the dunes nor the deltas so if you look at the picture you can tell it is the plateaus
The two factors about the ecology of the great plains did farmers fail to understand
The role the native grasses played in the environment
That local weather patterns were subject to periodic drought
<h3>What factors about the ecology of the great plains did farmers fail to understand?</h3>
- Environmental change has been significantly less drastic than the two-thirds of the grassland that farmers were unable to successfully plow for crops.
- The majority of such area still has native vegetative cover, despite the fact that virtually all of it has been extensively grazed by cattle and in much smaller amounts by sheep and horses.
- Two key climatic gradients—an east-west gradient of increasing precipitation and a north-south gradient of increasing temperature—which both produce drought—control the spread of both natural ecosystems and land use management.

Answer:
Fully enclosed in an ovary
Explanation:
A gymnosperm is a group of a plant which can be distinguished from other groups of a plant is through the presence of seeds but they are not enclosed and are naked.
The seeds are considered naked as they are not fully enclosed in the ovary like in the angiosperms rather they are present as on modified leaves called sporophylls and the cones.
The seeds are sheltered by the sporophyll and when they mature are enclosed by the sporophytic tissues. Since they are not enclosed in the ovary, therefore, are considered the gymnosperms.
Thus, the selected option is correct.
