Answer:

Inbreeding leaves animals susceptible to genetic disease, and populations to reduced fitness. This family of three would not be able to sustain a population given their a) group dynamics and b) genetic variation

Explanation:

In small populations, the variation in genetic material is likely to be low. The consequence of this is that there is increased homozygosity. That means less members of the population carry two different alleles of a gene for any given trait. This increases the chance of the appearance of recessive traits, which could be disease causing or otherwise reduce fitness.

With only three related individuals left, the chances of generating a new and thriving population with the limited genetic material is almost non existent, especially considering the animals are a male, female and their pup

What are the differences and similarity between action potential and graded potential?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Amplitude is proportional to the strength of the stimulus. ... Duration of graded potentials may be a few milliseconds to seconds.

Why do living things depend on diffusion?
mylen [45]
Living organisms obtain many of their requirements by diffusion. They also get rid of many of waste materials in this way. For example, Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This diffuses from the air into the leaves through the stomata. It does this because there is a lower concentration of carbon dioxide inside the leaf as the cells are using it up. Outside the leaf in the air, there is a higher concentration. Carbon dioxide molecules therefore diffuse into the leaf down this concentration gradient :)
