Answer:

Gene flow will be restricted

Gene drift will be higher than in larger populations

Extinction rate will be increased due to the reduction in genetic diversity

Explanation:

Gene flow is defined as the transference of genetic material among populations. In isolated populations, the gene low is null and thereby they have different allelic frequencies, while populations that share genetic material tend to have the same allelic frequencies.

Genetic drift is the change in the allelic frequencies in a population as a result of random sampling. In small populations such as those living in parcels, the genetic drift is higher than in larger populations.

Extinction is the continuous declination in the number of organisms of a particular group (for example, a population or a species), that inevitably leads to the disappearance of this group. In small populations, the likelihood of extinction will be higher than in larger populations, due to the lesser genetic variation and higher genetic drift.

Which of these types of rock must form near Earth's surface? Select all that apply.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

igneous rocks are the rocks which are formed by the cooling of molten magma cooling can be on the surface or below the earth surface.

sedimentary surface is the rocks which are formed by the weathering or some chemical action upon the rock due to the passage of time.

metamorphic rocks are those rocks which are formed due to the high pressure and temperature acted on the rocks.

so, the best answer will be sedimentary rock

hence, the correct answer is option B

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Nutrient pollution is the process where too many nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, are added to bodies of water and can act like fertilizer, causing excessive growth of algae. Nutrients can run off of land in urban areas where lawn and garden fertilizers are used
