Answer:

A) Remaining populations will have reduced genetic diversity

Explanation:

A random mating population allows for genetic diversity as each individual have equal chance of been mated to and it allows for perpetuation of frequently occurring genes.

For a small population the frequency of allele is mostly fix with virtually all loci having the same genotype because mating is within small individual and genes whose frequency is few will be drifted out of the population.

Hence, after the eruption due to a small random population diversity will be reduced as diversity occur more in a large random mating population.

Which correctly lists the three zones that further divide the open-ocean zone?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Deep zone, surface zone and transition zone.

Explanation:

Open sea zone is the area of the coastal areas above the sea bed and cover the continental shelf where large Marine organism are present and there is enough sunlight algae organism use to photosynthesize and produce food for the Marine organisms by converting carbondioxide and water into carbohydrates.

The zone stretches from the surface , to the middle and depth of 200 m.

The surface zone is the area where light penetrates most , the transition stretches from the surface zone downward, in this zone light penetrates bit not as much as surface zone and in the deep zone, it stretches from the transition zone downward to a depth of 200 meters and don't have enough light penetration compare to surface and transition.
