Answer:

The correct options are :

A) The biodiversity will decrease because there are fewer species on the newly formed island.

D) The species on the island will likely have lower genetic diversity than the species on the mainland.

Explanation:

When a larger population is broken down and a smaller population is formed, the genetic diversity in the smaller population will be lower as it has fewer species. As a result, options for genetic variations will be lesser. Hence, the landmass which drifted away will have lower biodiversity than the mainland. There will be more number of species on the mainland hence the genetic diversity will be more there.

An example of decomposers in the desert could be worms, beetles, or bacteria. Decomposers can't always stay alive because of the drought. Good luck!!

two parent butterflies with normal wings have offspring with altered wing shapes what most likely caused this change

Allisa [31]

Answer:

The Parents may have had heterozygous genotypes.

Explanation:

Normal wings could be the dominant allele that is expressed in the phenotype, and altered wings could be the recessive allele. If both parents had a heterozygous genotype, it is possible for the offspring to have a homzygous recessive genotype.
