Researchers are studying a small island that is home to a unique population of land snails. This population was founded by 10 in

dividuals that floated there on a log, and it has been isolated from the large (10,000 snail) mainland population ever since. The island population grew to 1000 individuals and has stayed consistent for some time. A team of researchers compared the genetic variation of the mainland and the isolated island populations for a few generations after colonization. Are the following four statements true or false?
1) Genetic drift is more pronounced in the island population than the mainland population in these first few generations.
A. True
B. False
2) The biologists observed genetic drift but not evolution.
A. True
B. False
3) The island population likely has more alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.
A. True
B. False
4) Some harmful traits may have become more common in the island population than the mainland population.
A. True
B. False

Over time, what happens to a trait that is an advantage to an organism?
Charra [1.4K]
I remember back in 10th grade I learned that birds that had beaks that were easier to break the seeds carried those traits to their babies and the whole area had that type of beak since it was necessary to break some seeds. So the beaks that were a disadvantage no longer existed and the beaks that became an advantage passed along to all the other birds.

Side note: if they all had the same beak they could all fight for the same type of seeds and probably have some sort of intense competition but idk if that’s necessary

What is the history of lyra?
nlexa [21]

Lyra  Latin for lyre, from Greek  is a small constellation. It is one of 48 listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and is one of the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Lyra was often represented on star maps as a vulture or an eagle carrying a lyre, and hence sometimes referred to as Aquila Cadens or Vultur Cadens. Beginning at the north, Lyra is bordered by Draco, Hercules, Vulpecula, and Cygnus. Lyra is visible from the northern hemisphere from spring through autumn, and nearly overhead, in temperate latitudes, during the summer months. From the southern hemisphere, it is visible low in the northern sky during the winter months.

Vega, Lyra's brightest star is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and forms a corner of the famed Summer Triangle asterism. Beta Lyrae is the prototype of a class of stars known as Beta Lyrae variables. These binary stars are so close to each other that they become egg-shaped and material flows from one to the other. Epsilon Lyrae, known informally as the Double Double, is a complex multiple star system. Lyra also hosts the Ring Nebula, the second-discovered and best-known planetary nebula.
