Answer:
D) a genetic bottleneck
Explanation:
Genetic bottleneck refers to the sudden reduction in the population size due to some adverse climatic factors such as natural calamities. It changes the allele frequencies since the survivor population mostly have different allele frequencies than the original population.
In the given example, an earthquake kills 98% of the squirrels. The survivor population exhibits different allele frequencies for the gene responsible for the thickness of stripes. Therefore, it represents a genetic bottleneck.
Answer:
Water cycle is also known as the hydrological cycle. It involves the water in water bodies such as ocean, river, lakes etc being heated up by the sun and then evaporations into the atmosphere. The evaporated water then condenses and falls back as rain into the water bodies.
The water body is always low during summer due to the water being heated and evaporated into the atmosphere and high during spring/winter due to rainfall and less evaporation.
