The consequence of this event will be decreased genetic variability or more precisely loss of genetic variation due to genetic drift.
There is a process called bottleneck effect, which explains the reduction in gene pool due to decrease in population number. The northern elephant seal is an example of that. When the population number is drastically reduced, the formed smaller population (with a smaller genetic diversity), remains to pass on genes to offspring.
The genetic drift (evolutionary mechanism that affects the allele frequency) caused by a population bottleneck can change the distribution of alleles and even lead to loss of alleles.
Answer:
C. Both continuous variation and discontinuous variation
Explanation:
<em>this was the answer on my quiz a couple days ago</em>
Answer:
A(the first one)
Explanation:
Homeostasis maintains the constant internal conditions in an organism. It is important because cells function best with a limited range of conditions. ... All living things have body parts with different functions that help them survive.
So your answer seems like it is false
Biofilms are resistant to antimicrobial chemicals due to genetic diversity.
<h3>How do biofilms increase antibiotic resistance?</h3>
Biofilms are considered as a reservoir of genetic diversity. The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes increase in biofilm due to horizontal gene transfer (HGT).
HGT can happen through the transfer of plasmids among microorganism cells in a biofilm through conjugation so that's why the antimicrobial resistance is higher in a biofilm than in free-floating bacterial cells.
