Question 6: Why might islands be good ecosystems to study the outcomes of the founder effect?

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

Answer: This can be useful site to study the diversity of organisms.

Explanation:

The founder effect is the known phenomena proposed by Ernst Meyer. It occurs when a small number of organisms leave the larger population. The genetic variation will be lost when a new population is established by the small population. Due to lack of genetic variation the new population becomes phenotypically and genotypically different from the parent population. This process lead to speciation.

The islands are the regions where few organisms can be found, those have migrated from the native land. Thus the study of diversity of these organisms will become simple.

Gennadij [26K]
The basics would be that you'd need to find out if they could exchange genetic information. If not, they couldn't be considered part of one species. Set-up 2 artificial environments so both groups would produce pollen at the same time. Fertilise both plants with the other's pollen. Then fertilise the plants with pollen from their own group. 
Count the number of offspring each plant produces. 
If the plants which were fertilised by the opposite group produce offspring, they are of the same species. You can then take this further if they are of the same species by analysing if there is any difference between the number (and health) of offspring produced by the crossed progeny and by the pure progeny. You'd have to take into account that some of them would want to grow at different times, so a study of the progeny from their first sprout until death (whilst emulating the seasons in your ideal controlled environment). Their success could then be compared to that of the pure-bred individuals. 
Make sure to repeat this a few times, or have a number of plants to make sure your results are accurate. 
Or if you couldn't do the controlled environment thing, just keep some pollen one year and use it to fertilise the other group. 
I'd also put a hypothesis in there somewhere too. 
The independent variable would be the number of plants pollinated. The dependant variable would be the number of progeny (offspring) produced.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Catabolite repression

Explanation:

Catabolite repression is characteristic for prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and this is the way to control metabolism.

It is called repression, because enzymes that are involved in other sugar's metabolism are inhibited (repressed). The system of catabolite repression have components such as:

  • sensory systems-detects ratios of glycolytic intermediates,
  • global regulators-control the expression of genes that encode for enzymes.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Following are the two types of living things that biologists could study:

1) Animals

2) Plants

Explanation:

As we know plants and animals are the most important organisms. Animals has further categories of living things are on land:

1) Birds

2) Mammals

3) Reptiles

4) Amphibians

Fishes are not included because they are in water but not on land.
