Founder Effect . Easy money. 
Genrish500 [490]3 years ago

The correct answer is a founder effect.  

In population genetics, the founder effect refers to the loss of genetic variation that takes place when a new population is developed by a very small amount of individuals from a bigger population.  

As a consequence of the loss of genetic modification, the new population may be characteristically different, both phenotypically and genotypically, from the parent population from which it is obtained. In extreme situations, the founder effect is considered to result in subsequent evolution and speciation of new species.

What does the term strain mean as it is used in genetic crosses
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

In biology, the strain is a low-level taxonomic rank used in different contexts:

In microbiology, a strain is a part of a bacterial species different from other bacteria of the same species by a minor but identifiable difference. Strains are often created in the laboratory by mutagenesis existing strains or wild-type examples of bacterial species.

In zoology, a strain corresponds to an individual or group of individuals who are at the origin of a line of descendants, sometimes called the holotype, paratypes, etc. A strain is a population of organisms that descends from a single organism or pure isolate culture. Strains of the same species may differ slightly from each other in many respects.

A strain thus consists of a group of organisms of the same species possessing certain differential traits based on their relationship; either they come from the same region, as the same watershed of a river, or they are the fruit of a particular breeding program (exists as a whole interbreeding without introductions from external sources).

1. How is the Burmese python impacting the Everglades ecosystem?
stepladder [879]

1. The Burmese python is an invasive species in the Everglades ecosystem. This means its numbers increase dramatically due to lack of natural predators. The python is feeding on small mammals such as rodents that feed of egg of animals such as the turtles. This, therefore, causes a ripple effect on the food web in the ecosystem e.g  dramatically increasing turtle population.


2. Due to the lack of natural predators in the ecosystem, the Burmese python causes an imbalance in the Everglade ecosystem. They reduce the biodiversity of the ecosystem hence diminishing the quality of natural resources.


3. The number of Burmese pythons can be regulated by introducing a predator in the Everglade ecosystem. Examples of animals that can prey on the snake are eagles, pumas, lions, crocodiles, cobras, and humans. This will reduce the numbers of the Burmese python and restore the balance in the ecosystem.
