Deer live in mixed forests habitats, on wooded farmlands and even in suburban areas of established cities. In winter they take to coniferous forests for shelter. Deer are a prey species, providing food for coyotes, bobcats, cougars, wolves and occasionally humans. In turn, the species helps keep vegetation in check.
Answer:
b. the bottleneck effect.
Explanation:
The bottleneck effect occurs when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. This will result in a very reduced genetic variation, which can lead to further adaptation problems.
The Founder effect has its similarities (in terms of the resulting reduced genetic pool) with the bottleneck effect, BUT it occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population.
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle in population genetics that states that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next IF certain conditions are present (no migration, aleatory mating, among others), so this is not the answer.
Genetic drift (refers to the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms, so it is not the answer.
The earth was once formed by molten layers of the earth and over time layers began to form due to the relative melting points. hope this helps :D
Answer:
B
Explanation:
If the traits are favorable this means nature would select it.
Answer:
O by building structures on natural habitat areas
Explanation:
The diversity within an ecosystem can be compromised by building structures on natural habitat areas.
An ecosystem is part of the environment made up of living and non-living components in their natural habitats.
- Diversity entails variations in the life forms within a particular ecosystem.
- When human-induced pressure begins to impact the environment, diversity is threatened
- Nature has its balancing effect the allow for a wide range of organisms to thrive.
- When human builds structures, part of the natural habitat is lost.
