How does isolation of a population lead to a decrease in genetic diversity

Biology
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Decrease in genetic diversity reduces the chance of variation in the offspring.

Explanation:

If there is no variation, there will be no evolution. So, if there is a change in the environment (like an outbreak of a disease) that affects one of the organisms, it is likely to affect all of them and destroy the whole population. This would lead to extinction.

Many lakes in the United States are suffering from periodic algae blooms, which can be thought of as an infection of the lake. A
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

A. The algae are heterotrophs

Explanation:

Algae which are heterotrophic obtain nutrients from complex organic substances. Thus, this type of algae is a consumer. This is in contrast to autotrophs, which form their own organic substances from simple inorganic substances. They produce their own energy

The diammonium phosphate which run off until the lake nourish these algae and make them grow without limit.

Which statement describes seismic waves?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. There are several different kinds of seismic waves, and they all move in different ways.

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

1. It involves multiple trials

2. 2 red: 2 white

3. Process 1 describes cloning and process 2 describes artificial selection

4. Furry Feet

5. Large scale insulin could be produced in relatively lesser time

6. A lowercase letter

7. 0%

8. rr

9. 50%

10. The allele for white flowers is recessive in the pea plant

Explanation:

1. Repetition, this means to do over and over. This would involve multiple trials and this is done to test the reliability of the results and determine if the hypothesis holds true or not.

2. If you put your cross in a Punnett square it would look like this:

      R    r                            

r     Rr   rr                          

r     Rr   rr

Based on your problem: R = red; r = white

If the genotype would have a dominant allele (R), then the dominant trait will come out, if it has only recessive alleles (r) then the recessive trait will come out. So as you can see there are 2 red and 2 white. So the ratio would be 2:2 or 1:1.

3. Process 1 is considered as cloning, and to be more specific, reproductive cloning. The aim of this is to produce an offspring that has the same genetic make up as the original or parent organism. Process 2 is an example of artificial selection. This is also known as selective breeding where breeders choose certain traits to pass on to the off springs by selecting the organisms that have the traits desired.

4. Furry feet of polar bears provide them extra traction when they walk on snow. The fur also provides extra warmth. They also have foot pads on the soles of their feet that help them as well. Together, polar bear have something that works like snow boots.

5. Large-scale insulin could be produced in relatively lesser time because bacteria reproduce through asexual means. They produce copies of themselves that are genetically identical. An advantage of asexual reproduction is the process occurs in a much faster rate. With that said, insulin supply would increase, which will help many diabetic patients.

6. Recessive alleles in a genotype are represented by a lowercase letter. On the other hand, dominant alleles are represented by a capital letter. Squares and circles are used in pedigree charts to represent the whole genotype of an organism for a specific trait.

7. The answer would be 0% because cystic fibrosis is a RECESSIVE gene disorder. For it to be expressed or observable in an individual , t<u>hey should have two recessive alleles</u>. As you can see in the end result, none of the offsprings have 2 recessive alleles. The genotype Aa, has a recessive allele, but it will not be expressed because the dominant trait will mask it.

8. When we talk about homozygous, this means the alleles are the same. And when you say heterozygous, this means that the organism would have a dominant and recessive allele. the recessive llele is represented by a lowercase letter. So if the organism is homozygous recessive, the genotype would have two lowercase letters. (rr)

9. The scenario shows the genotype is pp. This means that the pea plant is homozygous recessive. As explained before, recessive traits are represented by lowercase letters. So this would mean that the white color is a recessive trait. The answer would then be the allele for white flowers is recessive in the pea plant.

10. Mitosis and meiosis are both forms of cell division. Mitosis produces daughter cells that are exactly the same as the parent cell, while Meiosis produces daughter cells that are different. They produce what we call haploid cells, which has only half the chromosomes of the parent cell. Gametes or sex cells are produced through meiosis, while body cells are produced through mitosis.
