Green plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.
Answer:
a bottleneck effect
Explanation:
Genetic drift refers to the change in the allele frequencies in a population due to chance (random) events. The bottleneck effect, also known as population bottleneck, can be defined as a severe case of genetic drift caused by a drastic reduction in the population size. The bottleneck effect is well known to cause the loss of important genetic variation since alleles that were present in the original population are lost, thereby limiting its genetic diversity. One of the most common causes that may lead to a population bottleneck in a natural population is environmental disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods, etc).
Answer:
In anatomical directional terminology, the esophagus is <u>posterior</u> to the mouth (option d).
Explanation:
The esophagus is a tubular organ that is part of the digestive system and its function is to carry food from the mouth to the stomach. The anatomical relationship of the proximal end of the esophagus, with respect to the mouth, is posterior and inferior, its distal end also being located above the stomach.
This anatomical relationship allows the direction of food movement to be mouth → esophagus → stomach.
The correct answer is speciation.
Speciation is the term that describes the evolutionary process causing populations to evolve into different species. There are four different types of speciation: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric and sympatric. In this case, the process described is an allopatric speciation, the most common of these four types. Allopatric speciation happens when populations are geographically separated, an event that obstructs the gene flow. Since the gene flow stops, the populations evolve in response to the different environments that they live in.
One of the oldest arguments in the history of psychology is the Nature vs Nurture debate. Each of these sides have good points that it's really hard to decide whether a person's development is predisposed in his DNA, or a majority of it is influenced by this life experiences and his environment.
