You can't say it developed just one branch of science.
To name a few: Genomics, Genetics, Chemistry and The science of studying DNA itself. We can't forget about the uses in technology like DNA Nanotechnology.
But technically, the main branch of science developed after the discoveries about DNA was Molecular Biology.
Yes, it will effect the entire ecosystem because they if their population begins to decrease than the food population for other animals will begin to decrease henceforth their populations will decrease causing the food population for the killer whale to decrease which means the killer whale population will decrease because they won’t be able to get as much food.
A cladogram is a branching diagram that shows the cladistic relationship between a number species. It comes from the greek clados meaning branch and gramma meaning character. It is not to be confused with an evolutionary tree since it does not show the relationship between ancestors and descendants plus it also lacks the ability to show how they have changed over time. The major components of a cladogram are the tip (the start of the lineage), root (the end of the lineage) and node (where two or more lineages combine).
Explanation:
A slow, continuous process is defined as gradualism that occurs at slow rate but at a steady pace.
For example, stripes of a tiger develop slowly and at a steady pace so that they can hide in tall grass represents gradualism.
Whereas punctuated equilibrium is a process in which there is sudden and frequent changes that results in the formation of new species.
For example, species living in a sea for thousand of years breed and die over there and suddenly when there is change in sea level than animals must adapt represents punctuated equilibrium.
