A deficiency in the diet of the element Iodine [I] can lead to goiter. This is why in the U.S. we placed more of it in all table salt ("iodized salt").
The answer is stroke. This means that formation of plaque in the blood vessels that serve the brain cause thickenning of the inner walls of the vessels. When the plaque ruptures, a blood clot forms and blocks blood passage to a particular region of the brain served by the vessel. This stifles oxygen supply to the respective part of the brain leading to the death of the cells in the region.
Answer:
True. This is the case where an invasive species has reduced the genetic diversity of indigenous species.
Explanation:
- An invasive species is an exotic, foreign species that takes over a specific habitat or ecosystem and destabilizes it.
- Invasive species disrupt the food chains of an ecosystem which may lead to increase in populations of some species while reducing others.
- Invasive species compete with indigenous species for food, shelter and mates. As the indigenous species cannot reproduce properly, a reduction in their genetic diversity is the direct result.
