Yes the following statements about her trout is likely true Because the ponds are different and the populations are likely to experience different mutations, the populations will likely diverge evolutionarily, but only over many generations.
Explanation:
The effect of genetic drift can be seen in all populations but the most is seen in small population. The change in allele frequency due to the sampling error would lead to evolution of the species.
Bottleneck effect is when a population gets reduced due to some natural disaster. Her friends were not right about bottleneck effect.
So it is clear that no bottleneck effect will occur as each pond have different chance or rate of mutation and the change in alleles will be different. The trouts will evolve independently in the different ponds and pass on the traits to their progeny.
Genetic drift does not take into account for the harm or benefit of the alleles that are passed on.
The illustration is missing the type of organisms known as decomposers. They break down dead animals and plants and have the vital role in returning the nutrients back into the system, where they can be used once more by the primary producers.
In the illustration:
The primary producers are the phytoplankton.
The primary consumers are the: krill, cod and zooplankton
The secondary consumers are the remaining species that feed on the primary consumers.
Answer:
temperatures in the atmosphere change with altitude
Answer: Operant Conditioning
Some bears must have had undergone operant conditioning that is why they open their mouths for teeth cleaning and present their paws for nail clipping.
Operant conditioning is a form of learning in which a reward or punishment is given for some voluntary behavior.
Bears that have undergone operant conditioning are called food-conditioned bears. They are dangerous but learned to approach humans, or frequent human-occupied sites, in search of food (reward).
