Answer:

C

Explanation:

Before the earthquake the gene pool of the parent population was bigger and carried different alleles for a lot of genes.

After the killing of 98% of the population, the surviving one has an incomplete representation of the original gene pool. We can think of this as a gene bottleneck ; the new allele frequencies will be different that the parental population. IE: broadness of stripes has a higher frequency after the earthquake.

Which causes a sea breeze?
vodka [1.7K]

The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze.

This causes the low surface pressure to shift to over the ocean during the night and the high surface pressure to move over the land.

Answer: Lack of energy

Explanation:

Oxygen is needed in a process known as Respiration where it is used to produce energy from glucose. This energy is what the cell uses to continue whatever functions that it carries out which are needed for the body to survive. If the cells don't get oxygen, they can't make energy and if they can't make energy, they die.

Some cells are more important than others and so will need a constant supply of oxygen. The brain for instance requires 20% of the oxygen used in the body. If the body suffers from a lack of oxygen for whatever reason, brain cells begin to die within about 4 minutes.

The brain is extremely important as it directs the body. If the cells there begin to die, the body deteriorates and the body stops engaging in certain processes due to a lack of direction from the brain. This coupled with the other cells dying around the body will lead to even more deterioration till the body dies.
