Answer:

D) a genetic bottleneck

Explanation:

Genetic bottleneck refers to the sudden reduction in the population size due to some adverse climatic factors such as natural calamities. It changes the allele frequencies since the survivor population mostly have different allele frequencies than the original population.

In the given example, an earthquake kills 98% of the squirrels. The survivor population exhibits different allele frequencies for the gene responsible for the thickness of stripes. Therefore, it represents a genetic bottleneck.

What are the two factors that define our traits?
coldgirl [10]

There are a few theories as to what defines our traits to create our personality

According to one such theory, Dan P. McAdams claims our personalities develop in <span>three </span>stages:

<span>Our genes cause genetic mutations forming a 'draft' personality.During our early upbringing, our parents, teachers and friends treat us differently based on our looks and draft personality.Once we are older we then form a narrative of our lives based on our experiences growing up, and make decisions consistent with the character we have created.</span>

So our traits started from slight genetic variances, which effected how we were treated, which then shapes our own self-narrative. So really, our personality is one big story that we tell ourselves, and our childhood was the prologue to that story.

Answer: The taproot

Explanation: A deep taproot helps plants use moisture held in deeper soil layers, and they can have great drought resistance compared to fibrous-rooted plants. An example is honey mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), which is known to send its roots down 150 feet to get water.

How does RNA differ from DNA?
Leona [35]
I think that the answer is C- "I RNA contains uracil and ribose." because it is the one that mostly makes sense and is the one that most shows the difference between RNA from DNA.

According to google: "Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule implicated in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes. RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, and, along with proteins and carbohydrates, constitute the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life."

I hope this helped!
