Ans.

Carbon is one of the four most important atoms found in cells of all living organisms and is a major constituent of biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

When the deer is killed and eaten by the mountain lion, its dead remains are eaten by some other animals, such as vultures, jackals, and wild dogs.

These organisms that feed on dead organisms are known as scavengers. Hence, the carbon present in deer carcass would be incorporated into scavengers.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option). B.'

The correct answer is speciation.
Speciation is the term that describes the evolutionary process causing populations to evolve into different species. There are four different types of speciation: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric and sympatric. In this case, the process described is an allopatric speciation, the most common of these four types. Allopatric speciation happens when populations are geographically separated, an event that obstructs the gene flow. Since the gene flow stops, the populations evolve in response to the different environments that they live in.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Inbreeding leaves animals susceptible to genetic disease, and populations to reduced fitness. This family of three would not be able to sustain a population given their a) group dynamics and b) genetic variation

Explanation:

In small populations, the variation in genetic material is likely to be low. The consequence of this is that there is increased homozygosity. That means less members of the population carry two different alleles of a gene for any given trait. This increases the chance of the appearance of recessive traits, which could be disease causing or otherwise reduce fitness.

With only three related individuals left, the chances of generating a new and thriving population with the limited genetic material is almost non existent, especially considering the animals are a male, female and their pup

The bile is produced by the liver and the gallblader only serves as storage between meals. The main stimulus for the release of bile from the gallblader comes from the nervous system,after food is put in the mouth.
