Answer:

Genetic Drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift refers to the evolutionary agent that brings about the changes in the gene pool of the population by some chance event. In the given example, half of the polar bear population was wiped out of the habitat by any chance event such as natural calamity, epidemic disease or any other random events. Since no mutation or natural selection was responsible for the death of polar bears, it is an example of genetic drift.  

Genetic drift is more effective in small populations. And the size of the population of the polar bear was also small to allow the genetic drift to cause the changes.

Correct answer: Genetic Drift

Genetic drift is defined as the random change in the allele frequency of a population is changed by chance or due to random changes in the environment. It is a random process that can lead to large changes in the overall population in a short period of time. It is a mechanism of evolution and it does produce the adaptation.

Hence, the correct answer would be genetic drift.

Describe how succession can help restore the equilibrium of an ecosystem.
lara [203]
Ecological succession is a process of inhabiting a zoological area by a group of organisms. it involves many stages to reach the climax stage such as primary, secondary, tertiary names basing on the habitat where it occurs. once the organisms reach the most stable stage of the succession. thus it maintains equilibrium

Succession helps restore the equilibrium of an ecosystem by forming up new species, diversifying species, and basically by replacing the damaged, deranged, or disturbed community. For instance, when a sudden climate change occurred in a community, such as drought, dryness, fire, or heat waves, all living things that depends on water or survives in a cool, wet environment will die or migrate somewhere else. Thus, leaving that community vacant and/or unoccupied by any living things. Succession, then, will take place in that area by going through various stages until reaching the climax stage, in which the ecosystem is complete again. c: hope i helped :D
