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.
Mitosis occurs after the G2 phase in the cell cycle.
Answer:
Only one of the three statement is true; and that is,
(ii.) Different metabolic end products result from the two types of fermentation
Explanation:
Fermentation is the process by which organic molecules such as glucose are broken down into smaller molecules to extract energy as ATP in the absence of oxygen.
Fermentation is carried out by many organisms including man.
In man, fermentation occurs in very active skeletal muscles such as in an athlete running. It involves the reduction of pyruvate produced from the glycolytic pathway to lactate in the muscles. The net yield of ATP from glucose breakdown to produce lactate is 2 ATP molecules.
In microorganisms such as yeast, the fermentation product of py ruvate derived from glycolysis is ethanol and carbon dioxide, CO₂. The net ATP yield in fermentation of glucose in yeast cells is also 2 ATP molecules.
From the options provided in the questions, the correct option is:
Only one of the three statement is true and that is that, ii. Different metabolic end products result from the two types of fermentation.

Answer:
E) 2
Explanation:
The energy transfer through the food chain is not 100% from one consumer to another, or from the producer to the primary consumer, but instead it is around 10%. This means that if a producer has the 100% of energy, as it is the one that produces it, the primary consumer will only get 10% of its energy while consuming it, while the predator of the the primary consumer will only 10% from the primary consumer, or rather only 1% from the energy of the producer. In this case we have 200 kg of plant material. The plant material represents a producer, thus it is the one with 100% of energy. A herbivore will eat the plant material, getting 10% of its energy, thus this plant material is supporting about 20 kg of herbivore. The predator of the herbivore gets only 10% from the herbivore's energy, or only 1% of the producer's energy, thus only 2 kg of predator can be supported by the initial plant material.
