In the period when the lush ancient forests exited on Earth, the ones that provided the material for the formation of the coal that we use nowadays, Australia did not provide the right conditions for the existence of these forests.
The problem was that Australia was located very close to the South Pole in that period. Because of its location, Australia was colder and drier than most of the landmass on the Earth. By having less precipitation, and colder climate, Australia was not suitable for the tropical rainforests of that period, thus it did not had the material from which the coal formed latter on in the geological time scale.
Hi
The term lack of genetic diversity for a particular population refers to the fact that there are less number of alleles and less range of phenotypes and traits like (height, skin, color, ability to cope disease, ability to change metabolism as per requirement etc).
If we talk about endangered species, they are the specie which are prone to be extinct in near future because their population is very less in number. There can be multiple reason of becoming endangered for a population such as over hunting etc.
So when we say that an endangered population is genetically less diverse, it means that there are further difficulties that hinder their recovery.
For example: If a calamity stucks, all organisms that are already low in number and also genetically less diverse, so they cannot cope with calamity and get extinct. However, if this population is genetically more diverse, some organisms may survive some may die, and those which survive can recover the population. That is why it becomes more difficult to recover an endangered specie if it is genetically less diverse. The more the genetic diversity, better it is for specie.
Hope it help!
1) variation in traits.
population of beetles: equal brown and green numbers in population.
2) differential reproduction.
Natural habitat is in trees. Green leaves hide green beetles.
The brown beetles are noticed by birds in the area.
Birds eat brown beetles.
More green beetles survive than brown beetles
3) heredity
Green beetles reproduce in greater numbers than brown beetles
4) end result
Beetle population changes from brown and green to mostly green beetles.
The process of physical change in state, that occurs when water vapor or gas converts into a liquid is condensation. According to the kinetic molecular theory, the particles lose kinetic energy and slow down and thus become more arranged and have a definite shape but an indefinite volume, a liquid.
You would be crossing Pp and Pp. If you put them in a punnet square, the four possible gene combination you get would be PP, Pp, Pp, and pp. In all cases except the last, the resulting flower's phenotype would be purple. So the probably of purple flowered offspring is 75%, or 3/4.
