Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Options for the question are

a.  It demonstrated that nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.

b.  It demonstrated that species arise from other species.

c.  It provided a quantifiable mechanism to explain gradual evolutionary change.

d.  It was the first time that change in biological organisms was observed.

e.  It was not very important to evolutionary biology.

Solution -

The term modern synthesis by coined by Julian Huxley and the goal of this synthesis was to understand and determine how genetics bring evolutionary changes in a population and with this objective it combined the Darwin’s theory of evolution and Mendel’s work on heredity. Later on scientist Dobzhansky under this synthesis found that genetic mutation causes variation through the process of natural selection and hence lead to evolutionary changes in a population even if they are isolated for a long time.  

Hence, option C is correct

A grassland is experiencing a severe drought. The lack of rain is causing the grass to die and the ponds and creeks to dry up.
dusya [7]

The population of fish will decrease.

The population of grazing animals will decrease.

<h3>What is drought?</h3>

A drought is a prolonged period without enough precipitation/water to support people, animals or crops.

With less water, fish and other creatures have fewer places to dwell, swim, and evade predators. In the near run, shrinking streams and lakes necessarily result in fewer fish. Drought conditions can cause water temperatures to rise, affecting cold-water species such as native trout.

The population of grazing animals would decrease as the grass is a food source and without their food source, there would be no source of staying meaning that they would result to finding new food sources through migration likely.
