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>

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The continents could have gotten so far because of plate tectonic movement. We know that the plates are always moving so if these plates were very active then it would have caused supercontinent pangea to drift apart. This process must have taken more than a million years to happen.

a wild-type fruit fly: a wild-type fruit fly: exhibits the most rare phenotype in the population. exhibits a mutant phenotype. e
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

A wild-type fruit fly exhibits the most common phenotype in the population.

Fruit flies of the wild type are yellow-brown in colour with brick-red eyes and longitudinal black rings across the abdomen.

An organism or strain displaying the wild type is one that has a phenotype, genotype, or gene that predominates in a natural population of organisms or strain of organisms as opposed to that of naturally occurring or laboratory mutant forms.

The genotype and phenotype standards of reference are wild type. Wild type is regarded as the norm and neither the dominant nor the recessive. In compared to the wild type, mutant alleles are either dominant or recessive.

Fruit flies are distinguished by their tiny size, brown bodies, and red eyes. While these pests themselves are not harmful, they may be a sign of unclean living conditions in the home.
