Hello! Your answer is the bottleneck effect.

Speaking more broadly, genetic drift is when a population becomes smaller, and there are fewer genotypes in the gene pool. There are two types of genetic drift: the bottleneck effect and the founder effect.

The bottleneck effect is when an environmental change / human activity causes many members of the population to die, which means that the gene pool is now represented by just a few organisms. This is correct in this scenario, as an environmental change caused the gene pool to be reduced.

The founder effect is when a new colony is established elsewhere, so only alleles in the smaller founder group will be reproduced.

Hope this helps!

The principle of competitive exclusion means that A) niche subdivision can occur. B) a niche can be shared by two species. C) co
nignag [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When two species share a common niche, then one is bound to exclude the other. This is due to the stiff competition for resources. The species with a slight advantage in acquiring the resources will edge out the other species from the environment. This has been demonstrated by George Gauss using two Paramecium species grown in the same media in the lab. <em> P. aurelia</em> outcompetes <em>P. caudatum</em>

How do the nervous system and endocrine system differ in regards to managing homeostasis?
Citrus2011 [14]
Hello friend!!
The biggest difference between the two is that the nervous system uses electrical impulses to send signals through neurons, whereas the hormonal system uses chemical messengers transported into blood plasma to target cells. 
Transmission by the nervous system is short-lived but quick, whereas transmission by the hormonal system is long-lasting but takes much longer. Hene, communication is faster when using the nervous system. 
In the nervous system, responses are localised - whereas in the hormonal system, they are widespread. Responses are often permanent in the hormonal system, but temporary and reversible in the nervous system.
