Answer: There are few ‘laws’ in science. Those ‘laws’ are so named for historical reasons, but they are theoretical in nature. They set out what happens when a theory is applied in practice. A theory is simply the best explanation we have for understanding why some process takes place and predicting what the result will be.
Explanation: Anyone who describes something as “just a theory” does not understand what a theory is. Laws are arbitrary human rules. Theories are severely tested and re-tested explanations of why things happen in the real physical world and can be used to make predictions about outcomes.
Some would say that theories are about why something happens and laws (in science) describe what happens. But this simply makes a scientific ‘law’ a subset of a scientific theory, explaining how to make predictions.

Answer:
Genetic drift
Explanation:
Genetic drift is defined as the random change in allelic frequencies from one generation to the other.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary mechanism in which the allelic frequencies in a population change through many generations. Its effects are harder in a small-sized population, meaning that this effect is inversely proportional to the population size. Genetic drift results in some alleles loss, even those that are beneficial for the population, and the fixation of some other alleles by an increase in their frequencies. The final consequence is to <u>randomly</u> fixate one of the alleles. Low-frequency alleles are the most likely to be lost. Genetic drift results in a loss of genetic variability within a population.
Genetic drift has important effects on a population when this last one reduces its size dramatically because of a disaster -bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-.
The U.S. has one of the highest, if not, the highest obesity rate in the world.
Answer:
The answer is only about 40
Explanation:
Whenever something is consumed, only about 10% of the energy is consumed. So when a primary consumer eats the producer, they will get about 4,000 kcal. Then the secondary consumer will get about 400. Finally, the tertiary consumer will only get about 40. Basically, just multiple the original number by 0.1 for every time it goes through consumption.
