Individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors is a statement which reflects reality. Firstly, susceptibility to certain diseases usually or often runs in a family so that if there is say, diabetes in the father and grandmother for example, the son or daughter has more chances of getting it so this is a genetic susceptibility.. Also, some families are more prone to cancer so that given the right circumstances, cancer can develop. So it is usually a combination of both genetic and environmental causes that results in a disease. An example of public health could be when smallpox was deliberately introduced to the First Nations people in British Columbia, Canada back in the 1800's to decimate them and remove their resistance to the gold mining hordes. Since the First Nations had no anti-bodies to counteract such a disease unlike the white men who introduced it to them, then they easily fell prey to it and died within days of contracting it.
A. 1000 grams. 1000 is divided by ten each time it goes up the trophic scale. since it goes up 2, 3 and 4, the answer is 1000. (1000/10/10/10=1)
Answer;
C. Be more susceptible to disease and famine
Explanation;
-A species that has experienced a severe bottleneck event would be expected to be more susceptible to disease and famine.
-The Bottleneck Effect occurs when there is a disaster of some sort that reduces a population to a small handful, which rarely represents the actual genetic makeup of the initial population.
-It may be caused by various events, such as an environmental disaster, the hunting of a species to the point of extinction, or habitat destruction that results in the deaths of organisms.
bottleneck effect --- > A disease wipes out almost 90% of a population of birds, but the species adapts, and after 5 years its numbers increase dramatically.
gene flow ---> A population of rats travels on a cargo ship and mate with rats in a new region.
founder effect ---> Biologists introduce a small population of lizards on an island as part of a conservation effort.
mutation ---> A change in a DNA sequence causes a lizard to develop a darker skin color, which helps it hide from predators.
