The most likely explanation for the evolution is the genetic drift. The genetic drift is an instrument of development in which allele occurrences of a population alter in excess of generations due to chance or called as sampling error. Genetic drift happens in all populations of non-infinite size but its effects are sturdiest in small inhabitants.

Explain why do you think most energy pyramids have less than five levels?
zlopas [31]
The amount of energy available as one moves up the energy pyramid decreases substantially.
Explanation:
At each trophic level, energy is lost primarily through heat loss and respiration.
In the image below, 100% of the energy from the plant is not available to the deer. As we move further from the primary producer (in the image below, the green plant), less and less energy is transferred.

the two sources of information used to direct the expression of genes durning various stages of development are​
yan [13]

The two sources of information used to direct the expression of genes during various stages of development are​ Transcription and Translation.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Both of them combined is called gene expression.Transcription is the process of sharing information stored in a DNA to RNA. The process of translation is carried out in cytoplasm. Here, the mRNA, in which stands for messenger, send messages to a more complex and specialized molecule called the ribosome. The sequence present on the mRNA base is read by the ribosome.

Transcription takes place in nucleus and translation takes place in Cytoplasam. The products of transcription are mRNA, tRNA, rRNA. The products of translation are Proteins.
