Answer:

The likely explanation is that population 1 had traits which were more favorable to its survival than population 2's in the new conditions. It wouldn't have to do with food competition, but the traits they already have that may or may not be conducive to their survival in the new conditions.

Explanation:

Let me explain. Say a drought occurred on an island. Population 2 relied on eating bugs that lived in the green grasses. Population 1 relied on eating cactus fruit, which is drought-resistant. Say that because of the drought, population 2 started to decrease since there were less bugs to eat because the grasses dried up. Population 1 is unaffected because the bugs they eat were still in abundance.

This all has to do with the concept of natural selection. Species with traits that are good for their environment will likely do well unless a change in conditions occurs which makes their traits no longer favorable.

Hope that makes sense!

Pluripotent Stem Cells are from totipotent cells and can differentiate into any cell in the human body; however, not many are in the placenta.

Example: Blastocyst cells.

Multipotent Stem Cells - They can only differentiate into closely related cells.

Example: Blood stem cell

Unipotent Stem Cells - They can only produce their type of cell.

Example: Skin stem cells (which can only become a new skin stem cell).

A population is a group of ________.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

c. individuals of a single species that live and interact in one area

Explanation:

When some organisms belonging to a single species live together in an area, they make a population. Since members of a population belong to the same species, they are able to interbreed among themselves to produce viable and fertile progeny. They have the same resource requirement and interact with each other. All the plants of <em>Mangifera indica</em> present in an area make a population. Likewise, a group of <em>Panthera tigris</em> living in a forest together makes the tiger population of that area.
