Natural Selection: Mastery Test

Biology
1 answer:
Finger [1]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Genetic diversity in a small population, with a high level of genetic drift and with very little migration will decrease because existing alleles will be lost and few new alleles will be introduced over time (option A).

Explanation:

Evolution - linked to the natural selection and perpetuation of a species - depends, in large part, on three fundamental factors to make it happen:

  • Mutations .
  • Genetic drifts.
  • Migrations.

In small and isolated populations, very little genetic variation, high levels of genetic drift and very few mutations can be observed, which could lead to some alleles being lost and the species may become extinct.

Genetic drift (GD) is an important factor in terms of natural selection, as it is the result of allelic variations that occur from one generation to another. In large populations, GD is low, given the cross between different individuals is greater. A characteristic of GD in small populations is that their levels are very high, and this leads to the eventual loss of alleles.

In this small population, without the possibility of migration -few new alelles will be introduced- genetic variation will decrease, due the genetic flow is low, reducing reproductive fitness and weakening the population's resistance to environmental changes, which could result in the long-term extinction of the species.

For biology i have to pretend im a scientist in the year 3020 and i have to create an animal and explain what the worlds climate
lyudmila [28]

Try mixing two or more animals together to create an animal. Research their physical features, the environment they do well in, senses, etc.

For example:

A cat-like creature with an alligator's tail and a bird's beak.

This creature would have cat-like instincts, but be able to swim underwater to to it's alligator tail (alligators are born to swim) and sing like a bird due to it's beak. Plus you could add anything else you want.

Another thing you could do is look up fantasy animals from video games and get inspired from them!

For worlds, you probably want to build a world that your animal could survive in.

No Man's Sky, a video-game, has endless biomes and worlds that you can take inspiration from for the climate and it's features.

You could also research about any known planets (doesn't have to be in our solar system) and mix two or more together, take aspects from one planet and give it to another, etc!

I hope these ideas helped you a bit :)
