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?
anyone know the answer?

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.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: Option B) Yes, the solution is hypotonic, causing the cell to burst.

Explanation:

Because a hypotonic solution is of lower concentration to its surrounding, a cell placed in such solution absorbs the content of the solution, swells and then burst due to the uncontrolled inflow of the solution through its cell membrane.

Thus, the answer is Yes, the solution is hypotonic and cause the cell to burst.

Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is a really important figure in genetics, his work on pea plants provided us with many of the fundamentals of genetics that we still have today!

Mendel proposed 3 laws:

1. The law of dominance - this law states that where there are two different alleles (heterozygous) the organism will always express the dominant trait over the recessive trait

2. The law of segregation - this law states that offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, because allele pairs separate in the process of meiosis, such that each gamete contains 1 allele of each trait. When the zygote is formed, it contains an allele from each parent.

3. The law of independent assortment - this law states that traits are independent from one another at the time of gamete formation. The genes are segregated separately from one another, as the presence of one does not impact the presence of another.

This example shows that all combinations of the height and color allele are possible, and therefore nicely demonstrates the law of independent assortment
