A population of snakes that eat small rodents enters a new habitat. In the new habitat, there are many species of rodents, and t

heir populations are high because there are few natural predators. What will most likely be the effect on the genetic variation of the snake population?
Genetic variation will increase because of a selective pressure.

Genetic variation will increase because of a new habitat and food source.

Genetic variation will decrease because of a selective pressure.

Genetic variation will decrease because of a new habitat and food source.

Answer:

The correct answer is the 2nd statement.

Explanation:

Genetic variation signifies the naturally taking place genetic differences, which prevails between the individuals of similar species. Genetic variation is essential as it permits the individuals to thrive better in a given surrounding.  

In the mentioned case, when the snakes enter a novel habitat, they came across a condition where there are lesser natural predators and because of this they had enough food and less competition. Therefore, no selective pressure is exhibited to affect genetic variation.  

Additionally, in the availability of enough food and non-existence of competition, the genetic variation will only enhance. Thus, in the mentioned case, the genetic variation of the snakes enhances because of the food source and new habitat.

2nd option, Genetic variation will increase because of a new habitat and food source

Tons of food (rodents) and they would have no competition for the rodents in the new habitat

Katen [24]
Answer; 
A person who sprints for 45 seconds obtains most of his or her energy from muscle glycogen.

Explanation; 
Muscle glycogen is the glycogen that is stored in the muscles and liver.
Glycogen is the primary source of energy during exercise, and low glycogen levels decreases the ability to gain strength and muscle. An athlete who sprints for 45 seconds obtains most of his or her energy from the muscle glycogen.

87 points plus brainiest Instructions: Read each myth (untruth). Reword it to make a factual statement. Then, give two to three

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.
Fact: According to science when an organism dies it not different from a non-living thing
Evidence: Non-living things are fundamentally different than living organisms mainly because of the differences in their chemical and biological structures. Living things are made of biomolecules, complex polymers like lipids, proteins, and polysaccharides based on carbon and non-living things are usually made of minerals and other inorganic compounds. So, even if an organism is dead, we can determine that it was a living thing by analyzing its chemical structure.

Myth: The Linnaeus system of classification will always stay the same. 
Fact: Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish scientist from the 18th century came up with the perfect classification system that is used up to this day unchanged.
Evidence: Although this system is still widely used to classify living organisms, it has gone through some changes. Linnaeus considered kingdoms to be the utmost level of classification, but biologists today recognize a level above kingdoms, the level of domains. Some scientists also argue that classifying organisms into kingdoms should be abandoned, because not all organisms traditionally divided into kingdoms have the same origin.  

Myth: Tigers and goldfish are not related. 
Fact: Tiger is a top predator in the jungles of Asia and the goldfish is a small species of fish selectively bred in China and they are not at all related.
 Evidence: All living things have the same way of transferring genetic information, trough the DNA molecule. Genetic analyses showed that the last common ancestor (LUCA) of all organisms on Earth has lived 3,5 billion years ago. After that, all living things diverged into separate groups. Tigers and goldfish both are animals and have a common ancestor. Tigers may be in a close relationship with other big cats like lions and cheetahs, but they all have a common ancestor with the goldfish since all vertebrates have a common ancestor that was an ancient fish species.Myth: An organism's kingdom only describes physical characteristics.

 Fact: It is commonly believed that organisms are classified into kingdoms only based on their physical characteristics. 
Evidence: Before the rise of molecular biology and genetics, this may have been true, but with new scientific methods and techniques, evolutionary relationships and genetic similarities are also taken into consideration when classifying an organism. 

Myth: Mammals and plants don't belong in the same domain. 
Fact: Mammals, being a group of animals do not belong in the same domain as plants. Evidence: All living organisms are divided into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. All of the organisms that possess a eukaryotic cell, plants, animals, protists, and fungi are in the Eukarya domain. Therefore, mammals and plants belong to the same domain, the Eukarya domain.

Your myth: Humans are not animals.
Fact: Human beings are not at all related to other species and are completely different than animals.
Evidence: Although humans possess some unique features not found in other species, we are very closely related to apes, and broadly to primates, other mammals, animals, and organisms. The chimpanzee is our closest relative, and we share up to 98% of DNA sequence with them. It is estimated that our common ancestor lived around 6 million years ago.

Explain the interrelationship between the Elodea plant and paramecia in a pond ecosystem?
choli [55]

The interrelationship between the Elodea plant and paramecia in a pond system is mutualism.

The pond system is a type of an artificial aquatic system that contains organisms (plants and animals) that are regularly maintain.

The Interrelationship between organisms which can occur in an ecosystem include:

  • competition,
  • predation,
  • commensalism,
  • mutualism and
  • parasitism.

Mutualism occurs when two organisms of different species benefits from each other.

The Elodea plant purifies the water through photosynthesis and provides habitat for the paramecia

The paramecia in turn generates carbondioxide through its body surface which is a key element used for photosynthesis by the Elodea plant.
