I don't know if this helps or not but you would want to know the age of the rock (absolute dating) and from there you will be able to know the age of the fossil and what caused it to die.
You can't have a carrier with a dominant pedigree because other wise than individual or organism would be afflicted by the gene and render them incapable of being a carrier. A carrier is an individual/organism that has a normal phenotype (meaning it is not afflicted by said gene) but is carrying the gene that could cause disease or whatever the affect may be. In this case the gene would have to be homozygous recessive to be expressed. Hopefully this helps!
Answer: Part C
That’s correct because it contains the lenses magnification.
The answer is; D
It reduces the diversity of the population because some variations in the population can be completely eliminated by the bottleneck effect. Even if the population recovers in population size, the genetic variation will have reduced as compared to the initial population before the bottleneck. For a mall population, this effect can be grave because the reduced genetic variation may mean that the population may be unable to adapt to new selection pressures hence may go extinct.
