Answer:
The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).
Explanation:
There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.
The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.
For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.
- <em>Other options, such as </em><u><em>an increase in food availability</em></u><em>, a</em><u><em> decrease in tuna fishing
</em></u><em> or </em><u><em>a decrease in tuna predators</em></u><em>, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.</em>
Answer:
The given blank can be filled with interferons.
Explanation:
The signaling molecules or the proteins that get discharged by the cell infected by the virus to protect the adjacent cells by stimulating a safeguarding defense mechanism are termed as interferons.
The mentioned proteins obstruct the proliferation of viruses and thus helps the cell in getting rid of the infection. These molecules also assist in stimulating the macrophages and the natural killer cells.
The statement given in the question is TRUE.
Both government and many business organization have make grand efforts to conserve and preserve natural resources and to keep the environment from been polluted. The government has enacted many laws that has to do with conservation of environment and natural resources, some of these laws have to do with how much pollutant business organizations can release into the environment. Overall, all the preservation and conservation efforts have impacted positively on the environment.
