According to Dr. David Coltman, the models of the genetic drift predict that the genetic diversity of the Mouflon should have been lost with time. However, the genetic diversity of the species has been maintained as natural selection is more essential to the evolutionary procedure than is considered generally.  

The extreme conditions of the island are considered to have inhibited genetic drift, due to this premium advantage, the more genetically diverse mouflon on the island hold over their less genetically diverse counterparts.

Answer:

1. Picky eating; food jag

2. epiphyseal plates

3. bone mineral density (BMD)

4. obesity

5. food insecurity

6. life expectancy

7. arthritis

8. congregate meal

Explanation:

Picky eating is a behavior in early childhood when they refuse to eat certain foods and only want the same foods, while food jag is when a child only eats a small group of foods, meal after meal. The epiphyseal plate is a specialized layer of hyaline cartilage where chondrocytes (i.e., the only cells found in healthy cartilage) proliferate and differentiate during longitudinal bone growth. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints caused by different reasons (e.g., injury, genetic causes, infections, immune system dysfunction, etc), whose risk increases with age. Bone mineral density (also known as bone density), is the amount of mineral in bone tissues, being the best manner to measure bone health. Obesity can be defined as an excessive amount of body fat that presents a risk to health. Over the past 30 years, the prevalence of obesity has doubled in children and tripled in adolescents, representing a serious health problem (especially in developed countries). Moreover, food insecurity is a social condition of limited access to food for individuals in a household to live an active, healthy life, which can be used as a metric of how many people cannot afford food. Life expectancy is an estimation of the number of years a person can expect to live in a given country/region. Life expectancy around the world has increased for nearly 200 years especially due to medical progress and access to food. Finally, a congregate meal refers to a healthy meal provided to anyone age 60 or over that encourages older adults' social connections with other persons at the meal sites.

How are primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers different from each other?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Primary consumers are animals that eat primary producers; they are also called herbivores (plant-eaters). Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. They are carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores (animals that eat both animals and plants). Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers.

Energy is transferred between organisms in food webs from producers to consumers. The energy is used by organisms to carry out complex tasks. The vast majority of energy that exists in food webs originates from the sun and is converted (transformed) into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis in plants.

Summary. Autotrophs store chemical energy in carbohydrate food molecules they build themselves. Most autotrophs make their "food" through photosynthesis using the energy of the sun. Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it.
