Answer:

The large eyed ducks had an undesirable trait, but the small eyed ducks have a desirable trait. Because the large eyed ducks had a trait that decreases their chances of survival, they wete killed. But small eyed ducks are lucky because they have a trait that increases their chance of survival. The small eyed ducks reproduce more offspring that have small eyes, but the large eyed ducks cannot because they didn't survive. This causes that the allele for large eyes in the gene pool to decrease.

1. Explain the relationship between the loss of Arctic ice and the
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

As the ice melts in the arctic regions, the arctic sea levels and the other oceans stay the same. The weather however changes when this happens and results to the Greenland's melting ice sheet adding another 20 feet to sea level rise.

In summary, the melting of polar ice caps effects would result in sea levels rising around 220 feet or more worldwide.

This will lead to destruction of lives, houses and properties due to water submersion.
