The bottleneck effect is used to describe an event where a population decreases. One example involves the northern elephant seal

. They have a reduced genetic variation due to a population bottleneck humans inflicted on them in the 1890s. Hunting reduced their population size to as few as 20 individuals at the end of the 19th century. Their population has since rebounded to over 30,000, but they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted. Which phrase best explains this change if gene frequency?

I think the best phrase to describe this would be Founder effects. Founder effects occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population. This small population size means that the colony may have; a non-random sample of genes in the original population. Reduced variation from the original population.. According to Bottlenecks and founder effects, genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations.

If there are 1623-calories available at the first trophic level, approximately how many calories of energy would be available to
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

1.623

Explanation:

There's a general rule about the movement of energy through the trophic levels. That rule says that every next trophic level gets 10% of the energy from the previous trophic level. If there are 1,623 calories in the first trophic levels, then the second trophic level will receive 162.3 calories. The next, third trophic level will receive 16.23 calories while the last fourth trophic level will receive 1.623 calories.
