A population of snakes that eat small rodents enters a new habitat. In the new habitat, there are many species of rodents, and t

heir populations are high because there are few natural predators. What will most likely be the effect on the genetic variation of the snake population?

Answer:

The snake population would increase the genetic variations to fill the available empty ecological niches in the new habitat.

Explanation:

According to the given information, the new habitat of the snake population has a variety of prey species and a few predators. This would make the snake population adapt themselves to feed on the various prey species to avoid any competition.

Progeny of snake population would adapt themselves in different directions to feed on various species of available rodents. The availability of empty ecological niches (various rodent species here) leads to adaptive radiation in the parent population. The progeny of the parent population exhibits divergent evolution and become adapted to feed on different rodent species.

How does a diversity of organisms increase the chances that some will survive a major change in environment ?
Slav-nsk [51]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

This can be explained with an example.

Let’s lake an example of two species 1 and 2.

Species 1 has a wide genetic diversity due to which organism are also diverse in phenotype. Their phenotype are:  

Black, dark brown, brown, dark red, red, light red, pink, skin color.

From left to right organism are becoming less adapted to high temperature relatively.

For species 2:  This species has less genetic diversity and its phenotypic diversity is as follow:

Black, red, Skin color.

From left to right organism are becoming less adapted to high temperature relatively.

Now if there is the sudden high temperature in the environment; 4 Types of phenotype will survive are black, dark brown, brown, dark red.

While there will only two types of organism in specie 2 which will survive are black, red.

So that’s how the diversity of organisms increase the chances that some will survive a major change in environment.

Give an example of spinal reflex and explain how the nervous system functions in this reflex action
Bad White [126]

The patellar reflex is the most common example or a spinal reflex. When the knee is tapped, the nerve that will receives this stimulus sends an impulse to the spinal cord and relay it to the motor nerve. This sources the quadriceps muscle at the front of the thigh to contract and twitch up the leg. This reflex contains simply two nerves and one synapse. The leg will start to twitch up on the other hand the brain is just suitable aware of the tap and comprehends the situation. <span>Subsequently the tap, the leg is routinely lengthy once and comes to rest. The nonappearance of this reflex is problematical and recognized as westphals sign this reflex might be lessened or absent in lower motor neuron lesions and during sleep. </span>
