Answer:

D. A population with high genetic biodiversity is better able to respond to environmental stressors.

Explanation:

The genetic biodiversity of a species is the diversity of alleles that it possesses in its genetic pool. For a given gene, a population can have one or more alleles; and the more alleles the population has, it will be more diverse. Under normal conditions (without stress), the alleles that are present in high frequency in a population,  are those that best respond to the environment where the population occurs. However, if some environmental condition changes and some type of environmental stress emerge (ie drought), it is possible that these alleles no longer respond equally effectively and then, it is possible that the  alleles that on normal conditions occur with low frequency, are more adequate to face the stress. A population with fewer alleles (less genetic diversity) has terefore fewer options to deal with environmental stressors and<u> a population with high genetic biodiversity</u> will do this better.

A forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears. This is because?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

A forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears because bears are the supreme predators of their ecosystem and very few animals can hunt bears so nature by supporting a limited number of bear populations supports a balanced number of population of its prey like insects, fishes, deer.

Another reason for the limited population of bear is that bear occupies the highest trophic level in the ecosystem so according to 10% law of energy transfer, it will get very less energy from its food so it needs to eat more.  

Therefore the population of bears is limited because the environment can not meet the energy requirement of many bears so a forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears.

Do viruses carry out all life processes? If not, which are they missing
Molodets [167]

Answer:

No, they only carry out reproduction.

Explanation:

individual viruses don't carry translational machinery, namely, the proteins needed to read their DNA and RNA and build new viruses. They invade a cell and hijack its genetic tools to do it for them.
