On the Bahamian island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in various, now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united

. Currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish that can swim in short, fast bursts; other predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish that can swim continuously for a long time. When placed together in the same body of water, the two kinds of female mosquitofish exhibit exclusive breeding preferences. Which two of the following have operated to increase divergence between mosquitofish populations on Andros? improved gene flow bottleneck effect sexual selection founder effect natural selection

Answer:

sexual selection

natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism (changes the allele frequency) by favouring traits that are advantageous among others because they increase the survival and reproduction. In the example above, mosquitofish that live in the predator-rich ponds devoloped a trait that help them survive (swimming in short, fast bursts). This adaptation to environment is favourable by natural selection.

Sexual selection refers to the female mosquitofish and the fact that they choose their males (with better reproductive success).

What is the best long-term solution to help maintain polar bear populations?
Ainat [17]

Maintaining the genetic diversity is long term solution which help to maintain polar bear population.

Explanation:

Polar bear from Norwegian way bears are genetically unique. These bears are only who survive in the world. they have lack genetic diversity so it is possible to they stay healthy and somehow survive in worst condition.

The climate and condition of Norwegian is way better so it is necessary to relocate the other polar bear. The other important thing is to ensure about their food. Polar bear mainly eat seal but due to the melting of ice they are unable to get proper food.

The classification levels of three organisms are listed in the cart:
mel-nik [20]

The correct answer is D. House cats, lions, and tigers belong to the same class and family.

Explanation:

Taxonomy classifies animals using different levels such as kingdom, family, order, species, etc. that show the features of the organism and its relationship or similarities with others. In the chart presented, the only level that is different for the three animals is the last one, which is the species level because in this the cat is classified as Domesticus, the lion as Leo, and the tiger as Tigris. This implies the other levels including the class (Mammalia or mammal) or family (Felidae) is the name of the three animals. This makes the last answer correct and shows these three animals are closely related.
