A group of scientists working for the University of Florida commented on the lack of alligators in a swampy area around Jacksonv
ille, Florida. They hypothesized that recent land development for housing and an increased human population had driven the alligators from their normal habitats. The scientists tracked the population data of alligators in the area for a period spanning 100 years and concluded that their hypothesis was correct; human sprawl had greatly lowered the alligator population. Based on the data in the passage, the restriction of residential development in and around Jacksonville would have what type of impact?
A) It would help restore the alligator population to pre-1900 levels.
Eliminate
B) It would help to revive the dwindling population of local alligators.
C) It would help stop the local alligator population from decreasing further.
D) It would help re-establish the swamp areas needed by the alligators to live.
Based on the description above, the molecular clock data
shows is that the Clams and Snails are more similar and related in structure
compared of the clams and squids. It is because it could be seen in the process
that organism are better in adapting to their environment in means of
increasing their number, survive and to pass on their traits to the next
generation.
