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

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg. The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

Explanation:

  • Data:

Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg

Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg

Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg

  • Formula Applied :

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient

Hydrostatic pressure gradient = Capillary hydrostatic pressure - Interstitial hydrostatic pressure = 30mmHg - 0 mmHg = 30 mmHg

Oncotic pressure gradient =  Capillary colloid osmotic pressure - Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure =25  - 2 = 23 mmHg

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient = 30 mmHg - 23 mmHg = 7 mmHg.

Hence, The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

1. in an ecosystem with four levels—producers, primary consumers, and two higher-level consumers—describe where the decomposers
attashe74 [19]
Decomposers, as the name suggests, decompose dead plants or animals into simple compounds. They feed on dead producers from the first levels or consumers from other three levels. Breaking them down, decomposers release nutrients that producers can use.
In an ecosystem with four levels, the first level are producers, such as plants and algae. On the second trophic level, there are primary consumers, herbivores that eat plants, for example, a deer, a rabbit, a grasshopper. The next trophic level belongs to secondary consumers that eat herbivores, for example, a wolf, a fox. The highest level is tertiary consumers that eat carnivores, for example, a bear, an eagle.
