Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The impacts of wiping out the mice can be classified into two - positive or negative.

The positive impact resulting from wiping out the mice would be felt in terms of reduced destruction to properties, transmission of pathogens, and constituting a nuisance to the environment.

The negative impact, however, will largely be felt on the existing food chains in the community. Organisms that serve as food for the mice will experience a boost in their population as a result of reduced predation while organisms whose source of food depends on the mice will see a decline in their own population as a result of inadequate food. <em>This might create a chain reaction that may lead to a major disruption to the food chains and the overall functioning of the ecosystem. </em>

We often hear people talk about family traits and how they seem to skip a generation, according to Mendel what has happened?
Vesnalui [34]
This family trait that skips a generation comes from an autosomal recessive trait or as Mendel called as hidden non-dominant trait. Offsprings have a dominant and recessive trait which comes from both parents. Recessive trait appears only when two offspring with same recessive trait blends. This happens in self-fertilization. In the human population, marriage is prohibited between offsprings, thus having recessive trait is only imminent when cousins are married.

Some species form social groups only with members of the same gender. For example, elephants form groups with only females and t
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

When the females tend to form a solitary group, the adult males have an advantage of mating with females in different social groups thus enhancing on the productivity of the species.

Explanation:

When both the sexes of the species tend to make a group, the males and the females of the group have to mate with the members of that particular group and hence the males have restricted mating options which reduce the size of the herd. When the females have a separate social group, the males can mate with the members of different groups and raise the herd size in a short period of time. This helps in the increase in the population size and also helps in avoiding inbreeding depression which happens among small grouped animals.
