A population of cottontail rabbits feeds on grass located at the bottom of a cliff. A loose boulder at the top falls and kills a

large portion of the rabbit population randomly. How will this affect the subsequent generations of cottontail rabbits in this population? 1.The cottontails that survived will reproduce and be able to better avoid large boulders 2.The subsequent generations will be less diverse than the original population 3.The population will find another food source to avoid injury from environmental factors 4.Cottontail rabbits will likely go extinct due to their feeding patterns

Answer:

<em> 2.The subsequent generations will be less diverse than the original population </em>

Explanation:

<u>A larger population means that there are more genetically diverse organisms in a population. As a result, there will be more genetic diversity in a larger population as compared to a smaller population.</u>

When any disaster occurs, resulting in wiping a larger portion of the population, then the population becomes lesser. As a result, the genetic diversity of the population also decreases.

<u>Hence, a disaster such as the one described in the question will lead to lesser genetic diversity in the coming generations. </u>

After incubation, you observe that your streak-plate has heavy, uniform growth but no isolated colonies. Which of the following
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option 3 and 4 are most likely correct

Explanation:

<em>Option 3</em>: We know that area 1 would contain heavy streaking and not single colonies. Therefore, if the loop crosses area 3 and enters area 1, it will definitely result in heavy streaking again.

<em>Option 4</em>: We always need to sterilize properly the loop when streaking in different areas. If we don't do it, it is possible that the loop contains a lot of bacteria that would be streaked again.

Options 1 and 2 are incorrect because, according to question, there is a uniform growth but no isolated colonies. So, contamination or mixed culture would not produce uniform growth streaking rather mixed with other bacterial types.

How does the hypothalamus monitor water in the body?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus is a part of the brain which controls many important functions of the body by producing hormones.

When the amount of water gets reduced in the blood, it leads to a change in the osmolarity which can be easily detected by the osmorecpetors present in the neurons of the hypothalamus.

In response, neurons secrete Anti-diuretic hormone in the blood which acts in the tubules of the kidney where they help in re-absorption of the water from the body.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

An oil spill happened at the Wild Harbor salt marsh on Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1969. The oil has persisted in the ground sinc
Dima020 [189]
I would guess that the answer would be :'<span>These organisms dig more shallow burrows than they used to.</span>' If the crabs actively dig burrows, as many crab species do, and a layer of oil has persisted in the lower soil strata, it makes sense that the crabs would be reducing the depths of their burrows to avoid contact with the oil. The other possibility is that the crabs might might migrate to deeper waters, but this is less likely because the crabs would be evolved to utilise the intertidal zone.
