<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

Pls help!!! osmosis help needed!!
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1. 10% 2. 90% 3. 80% 2. Yes 3. Into 3. Swell 6. Hypotonic

Explanation:

1. Given the image, it shows there is 10% glucose outside the cell.

2. Because there is 10% glucose outside the cell, you can automatically conclude that there is 90% of water outside. (You want it to equal to 100%. So, 10 + 90 = 100)

3. Given 20% glucose inside the cell based on the image, you can conclude that there is 80% water inside the cell.

2. Yes, osmosis will occur. Osmosis is the movement of water from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. In this case, there is more water <em>outside </em>the cell than in. So, yes, osmosis will occur.

3. The water will move into the cell (There's less water inside, and more outside, so of course, the water will move in).

3. The cell will swell, since water is getting moved in.

6. This is a hypotonic solution. Definition of a hypotonic solution: The concentration of solutes outside the cell is less than that of water. Hypotonic solutions always <em>swell, </em>as water moves into it.

Hopes this helps!^^ I tried the best I could at explaining.
