Due to hunting, the population of Northern elephant seals was reduced to 20 individuals at the end of the 19th century. Since th

en, their population has since rebounded to over 30,000.
What is the most likely long-term effect of hunting on the elephant seal population?

a) The population is more likely to survive disease.
b) The population contains high allelic diversity.
c) Individuals are genetically similar to each other.
d) The population has allele frequencies similar to those in the original population.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Long term hunting has led to following  

a) Reduction in population size and hence the gene pool

b) Causation of Bottleneck effect

Due to above factors, the remaining population of Northern elephant seals does not represent the original genetic problem.  

Due to this restriction in mating and genetic variation shall prevail pertaining to reduced gene pool.  

Due to continuous hunting, the gene pool will further shrink, leading to genetic similarity among the organism

Option C is correct

All proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cell. some ribosomes float freely in the cytosol, while others are bound to the
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Ost proteins that function in the cytosol (such as actin) or in the nucleus (such as DNA polymerase) are synthesized by free ribosomes. Proteins that function within the endomembrane system (such as lysosomal enzymes) or those that are destined for secretion from the cell (such as insulin) are synthesized by bound ribosomes.
<span>As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen.</span>

Adh helps to conserve water during dehydration. <br> a. True <br> b. False
AlladinOne [14]
The Anti-diuretic Hormone helps to control blood pressure by acting on the kidneys and the blood vessels. Its most important role is to conserve the fluid volume of your body by reducing the amount of water passed out in the urine. And so in times of dehydration it could help your body save more water. I think the statement is correct.

Which lower invertebrate phylum has the greatest diversity?
Blababa [14]
The lower invertebrate phylum that has the greatest diversity is called Arthropod. An Arthropod is an invertebrate animal that has a segmented body, an exoskeleton, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods include an incredibly diverse group from the phylum Euarthropoda, which includes myriapods, <span>arachnids, insects, and crustaceans.</span>

Did any alleles disappear from your population? if so, why? if not, why not? how does this relate to the most fit phenotype
dmitriy555 [2]
Alleles can disappear from a population through natural selection. This relates to the most fit phenotype because the breed with the desirable trait, or the most fit, will live and produce off spring. Eventually the less desirable trait and its corresponding allele will disappear after multiple generations pass. If the environment does not change alleles of non desirable traits will disappear. <span />
