Answer: The size.

Explanation: On the one hand the Emperor Penguin is bigger reaching up to 48 Inches (120cm) of height and 100 Lb in weight, on the other hand the Galápagos Penguin is much smaller. For example a large adult usually goes up to 21 Inches (53cm) and 5 Lb of weight.

This is directly related to the temperature of the environment in which each one develops, because a body exchanges heat in two dimensions through the surface. So, it's easier for a big creature to maintain core temperature stable.

This is really important in environments like the Arctic where temperature goes below zero and the opposite happen in the Equator where there is a tropical weather all the time.

Did the Florida Panther become endangered because of natural selection, genetic drift, or gene flow?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

ALL OF THE ABOVE

Explanation:

Genetic Drift are the changes in allele frequency of a population that result from RANDOM survival or reproduction of individuals with certain characteristics.  Survival or reproduction of those individuals in the face of some environmental change is a matter of LUCK or CHANCE, not because of their phenotype or genotype.

While in Natural selection, the environmental events that affect a population are likely random, but the survival or reproduction of the individuals depends on their phenotypes and genotypes.

Meanwhile, Gene flow is the movement of genes into or out of a population. Low gen flow can lead to low genetic diversity.

Low population which can cause low genetic diversity, poor habitat conditions and habitat loss, road deaths, and commercial development in panther range are constant threats to the Florida Panther's survival.

All these causes are related and therefore affects the Florida Panther.
