Answer:

Option A , 10 %

Explanation:

Only 10% of the energy is passed on to each trophic level of an energy pyramid. This is because most of the energy available at any trophic level is used by an organism in internal bodily activities like  cell respiration, ATP production, several life processes, metabolism etc. Thus, even though a large amount of energy is taken at a trophic level, nearly 90% of it is used by the organism itself and thus only 10% of the total energy is available for passing onto the next level. This is the reason why organism at the apex of an energy pyramid receives  the least energy.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

This is an example of founder effect.

Explanation:

Founder effect may be illustrated as the loss of genetic variation in a novel small population originated from the original population. The concept was initially presented by Ernst Mayr. It can be seen that genetic diversity has got reduced in the population of iguana due to the result of the flood that has washed all the iguana without webbed feet into the sea.  

The new population has got inclined from the small iguana population. Thus, the iguana population is regarded as an illustration of the founder effect.
