I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. <span>The building blocks of a habitat consist of environmental factors. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
When humans farm large plantation of one cash crop, they reduce the biodiversity of the region because they reduce the genetic diversity of the species in the environment. A reduction in genetic diversity means that the genetic variability of the species is reduced hence there are fewer sub-species in the environment. This ultimately reduces the biodiversity of the ecosystem - which is the variability among all the living organisms in the environment.
Answer:
The environment plays a role in a mutant allele in a population because some mutations are more beneficial to the organism than other mutations.
Explanation:
Organisms with a beneficial allele mutation will be able to pass on their genes as they reproduce. The mutation makes them <em>fit</em> for survival in their environment. Other organisms <em>without </em>the beneficial allele won't be able to pass on their genes since it will be more difficult for them to survive in their environment. Natural selection will deem that the organisms with the mutation will survive better and be able to produce offspring with the same mutation.
