<h2>Genetic diversity </h2>

Explanation:

If the environment changes, the species runs the risk of not having the genetic diversity to be adaptable to that change and could go extinct

  • Genetic diversity is the diversity  or genetic variability within species
  • The huge variety of different gene sets defines an individual or a whole population's ability to tolerate stress from any given environmental factor
  • While some individuals might be able to tolerate an increased load of pollutants in their environment, others carrying different genes might suffer from infertility or even die under the exact same environmental conditions;the former will continue to live in the environment the latter will either have to leave it or die
  • Any change in the environment - natural or human induced causes a selection of events that only the fittest survive
  • In case of elephant seals,overhunting reduces the sum of genes available,thus leaving behind a population that is less capable of tolerating any further natural or human disturbances in environment
  • The loss of genetic diversity within a species can result in the loss of useful and desirable traits

6−2(4+5)+6<br><br><br>what are the steps to getting the amswer -6
gregori [183]

6-2(4+5)+6

First, you go off of PEMDAS, (parentheses, exponients, mutiply, divide, add, subract), and you will mutiply -2 to the numbers in the parentheses, -2x4 and -2x5. Which will then give you -8 and -10.

Then you set up your equation as normal, except without parentheses, which will make the equation 6-8+-10+6.

Then you will combine the two negative numbers, and it'll give you -18.

Then you will combine both the positive numbers, and that'll give you 12.

Add 12 to -18 and that will give you -6.

Assume that Staphylococcus aureus grows on nutrient agar with up to and including 15% (w/v) NaCl, while Escherichia coli cannot
Nutka1998 [239]
This means that Staphylococcus aureus is more tolerant to salt (NaCl), however, E. coli is sensitive to NaCl concentrations more than 10%. This also means that Staphylococcus has more fluid in its cytoplasm, as compared to E. coli, which enables it to tolerate in high salt concentration. Further, this also indicates the ability of both microbes to grow on different media compositions and have different nutritional requirements.

Which mutagens incorporate into dna and frequently pair with the wrong base?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Chemicals can make mutations by a number of mechanisms. Base analogs are incorporated into DNA and mostly pair with the wrong base. Alkylating agents, deaminating chemicals, hydroxylamine, and oxidative radicals change the structure of DNA bases, thus altering their pairing properties. Introducing agents wedge between the bases and cause single-base insertions and deletions in replication.
