Florida can be described as a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by salt water: the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The

Answer:

The correct answer is explained below:

Explanation:

  • Flooding and intrusion of salt water in the low lying areas can adversely affect human life. This can happen in the following ways:
  1. Flooding can cause many people to die due to drowning in the flood water.
  2. Many people lose their habitat and all their belongings due to the entry of water into the settlements having only the ground floors. These people need to rehabilitated to safer regions.
  3. The saline water percolates through the ground and mixes with the fresh water present in the water table, thereby making them saline and non-consumable.
  4. People have to face the dearth of food, drinking water, clothes and electricity until rescue operations are sent.
  5. Increased chance of transmission of water-communicable or water-borne diseases like diarrhoea.

Alex Ar [27]

The answer which is false is, gene flow leads to divergence and the formation of new species.

What is speciation?

For speciation to occur two populations must be prevented from interbreeding.

This means that populations must become isolated from on another through the geographical or biological barriers.

If populations remain isolated long enough, speciation will eventually occur because of changes accumulated in population due to natural selection.

What is gene flow?

Geographical isolation hampers gene flow because of spatial separation which in turn leads of reproductive isolation due to the inability of meeting gametes to leads.

It causes genetic drift due to the barrier of gene flow between them and parent species.

Certain alleles get fixed into population due to inbreeding in a smaller population while other gets eliminated, this leads to formation of new alleles and new gene pool, so-called progressive genetic divergence.

Finally there is the formation of new species when genetic variation are accumulated for several generations.

Which graph most likely represents a rabbit population that found a new, larger habitat, but then eventually experienced an
klio [65]

The graph will have a sharp curve in upwards manner when the new, larger habitat is found, but than will be followed by slight decrease when the predation increases.

Explanation:

If a population of rabbits finds a new, larger habitat, than the population will experience rapid rise, especially if there isn't high scale predation on them. This will be due to the abundant food resources, but also because of the fast reproduction of the rabbits. The low predation will mean that most of the rabbits will survive, so the numbers will be on the rise.

When the population starts to experience in increase in predation, the situation changes. The larger number of predators means that they would need much more food, so much more rabbits will be killed and consumed by the predators. This will stop the population rise, and it will either stagnate, or most probably it will experience slight decline.
