Linda owns an orchard of orange trees, and she is worried because she notices that many of her orange trees are unhealthy. They

appear to have very little resistance to attack by a certain fungus that is destroying their leaves. She consults with some biologist friends, and they tell her that her orchard is threatened by low genetic diversity. How could she improve the ability of her orchard to resist disease in the future?

Answer:

If there is low genetic diversity, she needs to introduce something into the system to increase the variation. I would suggest breeding the orange trees with other new orange trees to change the allele frequencies, which is called gene flow.

Likely the fungi are attacking them somewhere that they have decreased resistance, and if more alleles were introduced, there would probably be evolution towards a genotype that promotes defense against these fungi.

After receiving information on various forms of birth control, a young couple decides to use a barrier method because they would
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is diaphragm.

Explanation:

One of the barrier methods of controlling birth is the diaphragm. It is abstemiously efficient, with a one-year failure rate of approximately 12 percent with the typical application. It is positioned over the cervix with spermicide prior to having sex and is left in position for about 6 hours post-sex.  

It is a rubber barrier that holds the spermicide against the cervix. The spring in the diaphragm's rim produces a seal against the walls of the vagina. The diaphragm covers the cervix and physically inhibits sperm from getting inside the uterus via the internal orifice of the uterus. Basically, the diaphragm has an application with spermicide, and it is broadly considered that the spermicide substantially enhances the efficacy of the diaphragm.

Vinvika [58]
The mantle is a layer inside a planetary bodybounded below by a core and above by a crust. Mantles are either made of rock or ices, and are generally the largest and most massive layer of the planetary body. Mantles are characteristic of planetary bodies that have undergone differentiation by density. The mantle is bounded on the bottom by the planetary core and on top by the crust. In addition to the Earth, the other terrestrial planets, a number of asteroids, and moonshave mantles.
