Why do we classify lionfish populations near the eastern united states as an invasive species? what suggests that these new popu

lations are not an expansion of the lionfish's natural range? view available hint(s) why do we classify lionfish populations near the eastern united states as an invasive species? what suggests that these new populations are not an expansion of the lionfish's natural range? lionfish are native to the tropical pacific. there are no natural water routes of warm water between the pacific and atlantic oceans. lionfish are native to cold waters near the tip of south america. they could not survive in the warmer waters between their native areas and the colder waters of the east coast of the united states. so, it is very unlikely that these south american populations naturally spread north. lionfish are not good swimmers and have no other mechanisms to spread their populations over great distances. lionfish eat only a few specific types of algae that live in isolated regions of the pacific. if lionfish spread much beyond their native pacific home, they would have nothing to eat?

The answer is  Lionfish are native to the tropical Pacific. There are no natural water routes of warm water between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Invasive species is a species that colonizes an environment in which it is not a native species and tends to upset the natural balance of that environment. Lionfish are naturally found in the indo-pacific, which is their native environment. However, their presence in the eastern United States has have threatened the ecosystem of the region. The fish has decimated fisheries and reef ecosystem since they also don’t have natural predators in the region. Therefore, their population explodes unchecked.

How does diploidy help to preserve genetic variation? see concept 23.4 (page 498)?
mario62 [17]
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.

Answer:

Either (1.) Fossils or (2) Radiometric dating.

Explanation:

Fossils are an obvious answer to this, but radiometric dating is the method most scientists use to find the age of rocks. Radioactive isotopes break down predictably, so the farther along this process is, the older the rock is.
