Founder effect or population bottleneck refer to events which bring about reduction in the genetic variability of a particular specie population. Such events typically drastically reduce the gene pool of the population and produce a smaller number of population with less genetic diversity. An example of a population bottleneck is a genocide event. Such event will destroy a large percentage of the affected population leaving only a smaller population with less genetic diversity. i hope these helps.
The different levels of organisation within the biosphere, from the smallest to largest are:
1. Individual, species or creatures
the organisms
2. population
The entire populace
3. community
The total population at a given point in time and place.
4. ecosystem
The biotic and abiotic factors that are interacting.
5. biome
The ecosystems that share the same characeristics and abiotic factors.
6. biosphere
The entire living and nonliving organism in the planet earth, from prokaryotic cells to eukaryotic cells and how organic compounds from its enviroment aid in their survival
The biodiversity will decrease due to an increase in pollution is the effect will have on the biodiversity on the river ecosystem.
Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Biodiversity is the actual collection of total amounts of flora and fauna present in a particular ecosystem. The river ecosystem consists of the aquatic plants, the aquatic animals like fishes,etc and even the surrounding land plants and animals, who utilize the river water for their living.
The inclusion of the polluted sewage of the surrounding area into the river directly mixes several chemicals to the water, which are potentially harmful for all the animals living there. This leads to destruction of the flora and fauna of both water and lands surrounding them. This hampers the biodiversity of the water as well as surrounding land.
Answer:
plant location is the dependent variable, the amount of water is a constant
best of luck!
