Answer:
1. genetic drift; 2. natural selection; 3. gene flow; 4. natural selection
Explanation:
<u>1. A fish net captures twenty fish, all who happened to have large spots:
</u>
The mechanism of evolution that is playing out in this situation is most likely <u>genetic drift.</u> Genetic drift occurs when a random change occurs, resulting in the selection of a number of individuals by chance, rather than based on their level of fitness. The fish with large spots allele were selected against by chance, not necessarily because the fish with the small spot alleles were better fitted.
<u>2. Small spotted fish escape from predators better:</u>
The situation here is <u>natural selection</u>. The small spotted fish possess a greater fitness as they become well adapted to escaping from predators better than the large spotted fish, which gives confers on them a greater fitness to be selected for against the large spotted fish.
<u>3. 15 large spotted fish move into this population:</u>
The movement or introduction of new individuals i<u>
</u>nto a population is what is referred to as <u>gene flow</u> in evolution, which is another mechanism of evolution that changes the allele frequency of the original population.
<u>4. Fish-eating birds catch large spotted fish more easily:</u>
This is another example of natural selection. The small spotted fish possess a greater fitness which makes them not easily preyed upon by Fish-eating bird easily, compared to large spotted fish. <u>Natural selection</u> favors the fish with small spotted alleles against the large spotted fish, and as a result, more small spotted fish would survive and reproduce more offspring with the small spotted alleles compared to those with large spotted alleles.
Magma is molten rock made underneath earths crust while lava is molten rock that is flowing on top of earths surface.
I hope this helped :)
Normally tree rings will disappear, damage, or go missing when the tree doesn't have enough nutrients, another factor that contributes to that is drought.
An increase in human population negatively impacts the water resources. There is only a small amount of clean and drinkable water on Earth. If more people are on Earth, more of this water will be used by the population. An increase of people also means that more fossil fuel will be used.
<h3>How does human population impact water resources?</h3>
Population growth especially will limit the amount of water available per person, because an increase in per capita water consumption driven by development will intensify water demand, straining the local water supply.
