In a forest, a tree falls on a swamp and kills the worm population reducing the population by half. The remaining population is

characterized by a remarkable reduction in genetic diversity. Which mechanism of evolution is exhibited here?

The answer is genetic drift (bottleneck effect)

<span>There are 4 basic mechanisms of evolution - mutation, genetic drift, natural selection, and gene flow (migration). Genetic drift is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population as a result of random sampling of organisms. One of the examples of genetic drift is the bottleneck event. </span>The bottleneck event means drastic reduction of the population size because of environment changes. The consequence of this is the reduction of genetic variation. This is what happened to the population of worms after tree falling.

padilas [110]

Answer:

I hope i helped

Explanation:

A base pair (bp) is a fundamental unit of double-stranded nucleic acids consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds. They form the building blocks of the DNA double helix and contribute to the folded structure of both DNA and RNA. Dictated by specific hydrogen bonding patterns, "Watson–Crick" base pairs (guanine–cytosine and adenine–thymine) allow the DNA helix to maintain a regular helical structure that is subtly dependent on its nucleotide sequence. The complementary nature of this based-paired structure provides a redundant copy of the genetic information encoded within each strand of DNA. The regular structure and data redundancy provided by the DNA double helix make DNA well suited to the storage of genetic information, while base-pairing between DNA and incoming nucleotides provides the mechanism through which DNA polymerase replicates DNA and RNA polymerase transcribes DNA into RNA. Many DNA-binding proteins can recognize specific base-pairing patterns that identify particular regulatory regions of genes.

Animals will lick up ethylene glycol (antifreeze) due to its sweet taste. the antidote for ethylene glycol poisioning is the adm
maw [93]

Answer:

Fomepizole with ethanol

Explanation:

The antidote for ethylene glycol poisioning is the administration of fomepizole with ethanol.

Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) is a poisonous, colorless and sweet tasting liquid which is usually used for antifreeze formulations. Drinking or liking of ethylene glycol deliberately or unintentionally can result in ethylene glycol poisoning. The poisoning can be treated by stabilizing the affected animal, followed by the administration of the antidote; fomepizole with ethanol. This is the most preferred antidote. Hemodialysis, sodium bicarbonate and magnesium may also be used to treat the affected animal.
