The correct answer is the following.

Legislative districts vary too much in size because they depend on the number of inhabitants in the district area. One area can have too large meanwhile another area in another state can be small. For instance, in the House of Representatives of the United States, there are 435 seats, one per district. In the states, the Georgia state legislature has 180 seats, Missouri 163, and Connecticut, 151. In contrast, Hawaii has 53, Nevada 42, and Delaware 41.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the number of seats in the lower house of state legislatures varies from a high of 400 in New Hampshire to a low of 40 in Alaska. But what really matters is how much population each legislator represents. The table lists the 10 states with the highest and lowest populations and the population per legislator. California has by far the largest population per district, New Hampshire the lowest.

It is speculated that H. floresiensis and H. sapiens may have lived on Flores concurrently. Suppose researchers obtained mitocho

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Based on this data, The H.sapiens most likely to have lived at Flores would be an ancestor of Indonesian H.sapiens

Explanation:

If H.florensiensis and H.sapiens lived together one would expect some sort of interbreeding between the two. This would make them share more genetic information.
The DNA would differ in a few base pairs- enough for them to be different species but small enough to indicate interbreeding.
This is the case with the Indonesian H.sapiens, the DNA sequence differs by 28 base pairs.
The average North African and North American H.sapiens differs by 51 and 53 base pairs respectively - this is too much of a difference to indicate interbreeding
The average H.sapiens differs from the other by 21 base pairs - this was a control to show that interbreeding populations will share a large proportion of DNA sequence similarity
