As the human population grows and countries continue to develop, the demand for large fish has been steadily increasing. Unfortu

nately, the average size of the cod has decreased because the fishing nets were designed to catch the large fish and the smaller individuals could escape more easily. What is most likely happening to the genetic variation of the population of North East Arctic Cod? a. The genetic variation in the population is increasing due to selective pressure. b. The genetic variation in the population is decreasing due to selective pressure. c. The genetic variation in the population is increasing due to gene flow. d. The genetic variation in the population is decreasing due to gene flow.

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

The example given in the question is an example of gene flow which can be described as the movement of specific genes from the the gene pool population to population.

The act of catching the bigger fish and letting the smaller ones escape is changing the gene pool of the North East Arctic Cod and causing the next generations to have smaller and smaller sizes which is given as the genetic variation decrease due to gene flow.

I hope this answer helps.

The following statements refer to a comparison of reproduction in ferns vs. flowering plants. Indicate whether each statement is
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Both ferns and flowering plants produce spores at some point in their life cycles. True

Only ferns have a gametophyte as part of their life cycle. False.

Only flowering plants produce pollen grains. true

Both a tree and a large fern plant are diploid sporophytes. True

Explanation:

Yes, both ferns and flowering plants produce spores in their life cycles. In fern plant, it produce spores on the underside of the leaves whereas in flowering plant, there are two types of spores such as microspores and megaspores. Both ferns and flowering plants have gametophyte as part of their life cycle. Flowering plants produce pollen grains whereas non-flowering plants produce spores to continue their generation. Both tree and large fern plants having diploid sporophytes which is a necessary part of their life cycle.
