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.

I do not believe so because it is genetic, just you can't forever change a feature without plastic surgery or an accident, etc.

Why will many species of bird migrate to warmer climate during the winter
Doss [256]
Bird migrations began with the recession of the glaciers during the ice age. You will notice a great increase in insects in the spring time and early summer.The birds moved North to take advantage of this increase in the food supply that followed the warming in the spring and early summer. Their reproductive organs temporarily developed so they could lay eggs and raise a family. Look at the early flush of Night crawlers in the moist times of the early rains. By mid summer most of the insects have matured, mated and died. Their eggs have hatched and turned to larva and moved underground until next spring. The shortening of the days causes the reproductive functions to decrease and signals the birds that the food will soon become scarce. They move back to the area that makes it the easiest to find food and avoid freezing. which of course is the warmer climates nearer the equator. Not all birds move past the Tropics at approximately 30 degrees. Some like Chickadees may move down from Mi or Mn or Canada only as far south as Indiana. Some migrations may be quite short. For example from the mountains down to the plains. They don't generally reproduce in the warmer winter climes they migrate to. In the spring time they migrate along paths of the retreating glaciers. As the climate warms away from the tropics the birds follow the emerging insects etc to the birds selected breeding grounds.with increased insects and longer days to feed the hatching's. It is necesary to understand why they move to cooler climates in the summer to under stand why they move to eh warmer ones in the fall. As the days shorten the food supply dwindles and the babies have fledged. They move to warmer climates in winter to rest and refuel for the next years migration.

In an effort to control the ongoing cholera epidemic affecting Haiti, health officials are
exis [7]

The right answer is B.

Cholera vaccination is only recommended for staff who have to intervene with patients in an epidemic situation. In all other cases, effective prevention is provided by good personal hygiene (washing hands) and food.

It is also important to know that this vaccine does not protect permanently: It protects only about 90% within 6 months, then to 50% within 3 years.
