Biodiversity decreases, and the overall health of the ecosystem decreases.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a niche when two different species occupy a niche competition arises between them. In due course both the species fight for existence and nature selects the best adaptable one to win. The other species either reduces in its population or gradually in struggle for existence they deteriorate and die.

Hence a decrease in bio diversity happens here due to natural selection. If the biodiversity is decreased in a particular niche it affects the growth of different species which in turn affect the whole ecosystem resulting in decrease of the overall health in an ecosystem.

kicyunya [14]
As we can see in the pedigree, both of the parents do not possess the trait, but one of the four offspring (marked with red) is expressing the trait.
Since the trait is recessive, the only way that is possible that the parents who do not possess the trait to have the offspring with the trait is that the parents are heterozygous for the trait. Meaning that both of the parents have one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
