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.

How does the expression of Delta on the surface of a cell activate the expression of certain genes in the nucleus of its neighbo
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Delta binds to the Notch receptor and this binding produces the cleavage of its intracellular domain, which subsequently enters into the cell nucleus to bind with a repressor in order to activate the transcription

Explanation:

The Notch signaling pathway is initiated when Notch receptors on the cell surface bind to the Delta ligand, which activates Notch signaling in cells next to it. In the receiving cell, Delta–Notch binding triggers the cleavage of the Notch intracellular domain called Nic (intracellular Notch). Subsequently, Nic enters into the cell nucleus where it releases repression on Suppressor of Hairless (Su(H)) class transcription factors, thereby activating the transcription of target genes.
