As a result of habitat destruction, the size of the Florida panther population has been drastically reduced. It is estimated tha

t there are only 100 to 160 Florida panthers in the wild. Which statement best explains why the Florida panther population may not continue to evolve?
(1) There is no longer a chance of mutations occurring in the population.
(2) There is a lack of competition for limited environmental resources.
(3) There is no longer a chance of a trait providing a reproductive advantage to the population.
(4) There is a lack of genetic variation for selec-tion to act upon.

Answer:

Option D, There is a lack of genetic variation for selection  to act upon

Explanation:

Genetic variation defines the differences with in the organism of the same species and have been a driving force for selection.  

Since the population of panther has reduced to a very small number, it is very obvious that the gene pool has also reduced which in turn has reduced the genetic variation and hence the lack of genetic variation induces inbreeding depression which further restricts evolution.

Hence, option D is correct

nadezda [96]

Answer: C

Explanation: If you were to travel to the desert, the only plants you would find would be shrubs and cacti, because unlike most plants, they are able to survive in a dry climate with very little water. All plants need the basics- that is, sun, water, and CO2, but only a select few have been able to adapt to the harsh desert climate. There are other places in the world where there is intense sunlight all day, (like my front yard, for example, which is ALWAYS yellow smh) but the plants usually are okay as long as they get enough water, which my grass doesn't lol.

<h2>Synovial fluid </h2>

Explanation:

Due to the Vroman effect, albumin will initially attach and eventually be replaced by the IgM, which has a higher affinity for the material

The higher concentration of the albumin results in a greater initial surface concentration via diffusion, but it will eventually be displaced by the proteins with greater surface affinity (first the transferrin, and finally the IgM)

If more addition of albumin occurs, which has less affinity for the material surface, will have minimal effect if IgM is already adsorbed to material surface

<h2>Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)</h2>

Explanation:

  • Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a macromolecule acknowledgment innovation dependent on the correlative idea of DNA or DNA/RNA twofold strands.
  • Chosen DNA strands joined with fluorophore-coupled nucleotides can be utilized as tests to hybridize onto the corresponding groupings in tried cells and tissues and afterward envisioned through a fluorescence magnifying instrument or an imaging framework. This innovation was at first evolved as a physical mapping apparatus to outline qualities inside chromosomes.
