Answer:

bottleneck effect

Explanation:

The bottleneck effect is an evolutionary event in which population size is radically reduced, usually due to a catastrophic event.

This effect occurs when sudden changes in the environment, such as natural disasters and habitat fragmentation, reduce the size of a population and hence genetic diversity. An example of this effect is what happened to the prairie grouse, a bird that lived on the grasslands of the state of Illinois, in the United States. The conversion of grasslands to crops and pastures throughout the nineteenth century drastically reduced their populations to less than 50 individuals in 1993. This also reduced genetic diversity and led to increased frequency of deleterious genes. Thus, compared to other populations of the species, egg hatching rates in Illinois capercaillie populations were much lower, below 50%.

1. Describe how radio telescopes are used to explore space.
Yuri [45]

Radio telescope picks up the radio spectrum of electromagnetic waves from celestial bodies (just like telescopes like the Hubble pick up visible light – only that radio waves are invisible to our eyes). They are therefore used to detect objects in space that produces radio waves. Examples are quasars and pulsars. Radio telescopes also enable astronomers to be whats beyond gas and dust in space that blocks out most of the visible light spectrum.
