Which of the following is not a natural cause of extinction?

Biology
1 answer:
dedylja [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Introduction of Non-native species would be the answer. ( B )

Explanation:

Now let's break it down.

A. Competition due to overpopulation

Competition due to overpopulation, as competition of resources rises, species will fight among each other, and slowly, population will go down. But I don't see the reason of why it would cause an extinction... perhaps a decrease of population. See, once populations starts decreasing, resources will increase. And ONCE resources increase, populations starts increasing, and there goes competition. Resources decreases, populations decreases, and the whole process repeats. So I'm not quite sure whether it will cause extinction of a species.

B. Introduction of Non- native species.

So what does it mean by Non-native species?

It means that species that have no effect and doesn't exist in the ecosystem. So that will definitely not affect the population whatsoever.

C. Catastrophic Events

Well, common sense. Many people died of tsunamis, tornado and other natural disasters every year. Too many disasters can cause the population to cease.

D. Disease

This we can relate, especially the Coronavirus. Many humans died of the deadly virus. Same goes to animals. If a disease gets too deadly, population will decrease and drive the species to extinction.

So, the Answer would be B.

Which type of gene therapy results in alteration of the DNA of a gamete or a fertilized ovum?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct option is: <u>e. Germline gene therapy</u>

Explanation:

The <u>germline gene therapy</u>, GGT is the <u>modification of the germ cells</u>. In this therapy, a functional gene is introduced into the genomes of the gametes. Such a modification of the germ cell results in all the cells of the organisms to get modified. This change can therefore be <u>passed on to the next generations.</u> Many countries such as Canada, Germany and Switzerland, have prohibited the use of the germline gene therapy on humans.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

A woman is born with all of her eggs, which are stored in her ovaries. The ovaries also make the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which control her period (menstruation) and the release of eggs (ovulation). Menopause happens when the ovaries no longer release an egg every month and menstruation stops.
