They typically sleep about 16-17 hours a day; that’s a lot!
The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.

Adaptations can give an organism a competitive edge but adaptations are not always used for completion against other species
• Matthias Schleiden observed that all plants were made of cells; Theodor Schwann observed that all animals were also made of cells; and Rudolf Virchow observed that cells only come from other cells.
• Prokaryotic cells- don’t contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
Eukaryotic cells- contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus.
• Phospholipids make up the basic structure of a cell membrane and are arranged in a double layer called the lipid bilayer.
• Active Transport- moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.
Passive Transport - moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy.
