<u>Answer</u>: Option C. The lion population is more likely to survive because it is more likely to have individuals with traits to combat the virus.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- <em>Genetic diversity</em> refers to the total number of genetic characteristics that exists among the genetic makeup of a given population and is necessary for individuals of a population to adapt to different environmental conditions.
- Populations with <em>greater</em> genetic diversity are <em>more</em> resistant to diseases as compared to those with lower diversity because the different genetic makeups make it difficult for the pathogens to adapt to its host.
- Thus, <em>the probability of survival and combating the viral disease is more in the lions due to greater genetic diversity.</em>
A blister is an example of a vesicle.
Organisms use the atoms of food molecules to build larger organic molecules including proteins, DNA, and fats (lipids) and use the energy in food to power life processes. By breaking the bonds in food molecules, cells release energy to build new compounds.
Answer: This brightly colored trait in this scenario is an example of natural selection
Explanation:
The aim of natural selection is to ensure the traits that make species better fitted to environmental pressures remain while other are eliminated.
Thus, the brightly colored trait in this scenario is an example of natural selection because:
- it appears in all population of the flower-producing plants making it well adapted to the environment.
- its emitting of no odor or rotting odor is simply a chemical defence mechanism in order to avoid from eaten by animals.
