A scientist has been tracking and studying a population of deer in Yellowstone National Park. He surveys the population every si
x months. Usually, the population is thriving and has a gene pool with a wide variety of traits. But during one six-month period, an event occurred that affected the population, and when the scientist returned, the amount of genetic variation had decreased significantly. Which of the following is most likely the event that occurred to change the population? Yellowstone National Park expanded its borders.
I think that you're missing some options, but here they are (let me know if I'm right!
-A population of wolves was introduced -The amount of disease in the deer population decreased -More grass was planted
Now, if the gene diversity decreased, it means that a lot of deer died. This could happen because wolves were introduced -this is the correct answer, and the wolves ate some deer.
It protects the Earth from becoming over heated, but with pollution, global warming has become more apparent because of the destruction of the ozone layer
