Answer:
<em>The correct option is limited food and water resources favored the survival of smaller deer.</em>
Explanation:
The islands where the Key deer lived had limited food and water resources. As migration was not possible for these species because the white-tailed deer had more adaptations as compared to them, hence they had to somehow survive in these areas with limited food and water resources. Limited food resources were the reason that the Key deer could not grow properly and hence evolved to have very little weight.
Answer:
Reproductive isolation refers to the inability of an organism or species to breed successfully with other organism or species.
It may arise from various factors such as:
- Geographical isolation such as river, mountain, etc
- Behavioral changes such as mating time or season, mating rituals, mating location etc.
- Physiological differences such as change in shape of sex organs which causes lack of fit between copulatory organs.
- Genetic differences.
Reproductive and geographical isolations between two populations (of same species) inhibit the flow of genes among them. Slowly, these isolations increase the variations in the gene pools of the two populations.
These genetic variations keep on increasing with time. In addition, as an adaptation to their surrounding or habitat the two populations would develop different behavioral and physiological changes
With time, these differences will increase up to such an extent that the two populations would not be able breed with each other. Hence, it would lead to the evolution of one or both the populations into new species.
<h2>Genetic diversity </h2>
Explanation:
If the environment changes, the species runs the risk of not having the genetic diversity to be adaptable to that change and could go extinct
- Genetic diversity is the diversity or genetic variability within species
- The huge variety of different gene sets defines an individual or a whole population's ability to tolerate stress from any given environmental factor
- While some individuals might be able to tolerate an increased load of pollutants in their environment, others carrying different genes might suffer from infertility or even die under the exact same environmental conditions;the former will continue to live in the environment the latter will either have to leave it or die
- Any change in the environment - natural or human induced causes a selection of events that only the fittest survive
- In case of elephant seals,overhunting reduces the sum of genes available,thus leaving behind a population that is less capable of tolerating any further natural or human disturbances in environment
- The loss of genetic diversity within a species can result in the loss of useful and desirable traits

Answer: Genetic information is carried in the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA. Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.</h2>
Explanation:
<h2>The information carried by a DNA molecule is in Genetic information resides in the order of the nucleotides on a DNA molecule. ... They hypothesized that there must be a code that linked the nucleotide sequence in a gene to the amino acid sequence in a protein. Each nucleotide code is called a codon.</h2>
