Read each example and identify it with one of the mechanisms that influence gene pools. A zebra migrates to join a different her

d of zebras. Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees. The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger. A grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.

Answer: The correct answer for the given mechanisms influencing gene pool are the mechanisms of evolutionary change, which are described as follows-

1) Gene Flow

- It is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-A zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) Natural Selection

- A mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) Mutation

- Permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) Genetic Drift - It is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-A grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.

where did the rats come from and why did they have a negative effect on the palm trees on Easter Island
telo118 [61]
In one of the studies of about rats in Easter Island, it was believed that rats were the reason for the decrease of palm trees. 
According to a system framework study, there are relationships between the birth and death of people with the rats and the palm trees. It explains that peoples' population in Easter island has a relationship with rats and palm trees in the area. 
<span>The number of palm trees decreases because of the increased number of rats that eats its fruits. Seed germination became frequently interfered because of this activity. 
</span><span>However, the slow growth of palm trees was also blamed for the tree cutting off the people.</span>

How is energy from flowing water different from iron,petroleum or coal ?
Sati [7]
The energy produced from flow of water or "Hydro-power" is different to energy produced from iron, petroleum and coal as it is a clean and renewable form of energy. Hydro-power is derived from the kinetic energy of the natural flow of water like in the case of a water mill whereas the other forms listed require combustion of the fuel source that produces harmful gases leaving a negative impact on the environment. Also, hydro-power is one of the cheapest forms of energy production.  
However, it should be noted that large-scale production of electrical energy from flowing water known as "Hydroelectric Power" uses man-made dams to store water in lakes as a source of potential energy. These dams can also have a negative impact on the environment as the natural flow of water is restricted. Some scientists also suggest that the construction of a dam leads to an increase in the number of earthquakes in and around the area of construction.
