Pretty sure it’s indigenous species
I think the answer is A
Hope this helps!!!!!:)
Have a great day!!
Every organism in an ecosystem relies on other species for survival: Species diversity. An ecosystem is a b<span>iological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. The survival of one species therefore depends on the survival of other species.</span><span>
Reduced options for mates can lead to inbreeding: Genetic diversity. Inbreeding occurs when closely related individuals breed, and this can lead to the expression of undesirable traits such as those associated with recessive genes.
Decreased diversity can lead to increased susceptibility to disease: Genetic diversity. This is related to inbreeding. The expression of recessive genes can decrease the overall fitness of a species and increase its susceptibility to disease.
The loss of a producer could result in the loss of consumers: Species diversity. This is related to the concept of an ecosystem. Consumers rely on producers as a food source.
When a population becomes small, diversity is lost: Genetic diversity. This is commonly known as the 'founder effect'.</span>
The correct option is this: ANCESTRAL STATE RECONSTRUCTION SUGGESTING THAT THESE ANIMALS HAD OPSINS THAT WERE SHIFTED TOWARD THE RED.
Ancestral reconstruction is the extrapolation back in time from measured characteristics of individuals to their common ancestors. Opsins are a group of light sensitive proteins that are located in the photoreceptor cells of the retina of the eyes. Having opsin that were shifted toward the red colour will enable the animal to see very well in the night time, thus, the animal will be active during that period.
A potometer can be used to measure the rate of transpiration that's proportional to water uptake. Transpiration cannot be measured directly as some of the water will be used in photosynthesis.
