Answer:
True. This is the case where an invasive species has reduced the genetic diversity of indigenous species.
Explanation:
- An invasive species is an exotic, foreign species that takes over a specific habitat or ecosystem and destabilizes it.
- Invasive species disrupt the food chains of an ecosystem which may lead to increase in populations of some species while reducing others.
- Invasive species compete with indigenous species for food, shelter and mates. As the indigenous species cannot reproduce properly, a reduction in their genetic diversity is the direct result.
Thanks to recycling, we barely mine lead any more. An estimated 85 percent of lead in use today goes into batteries, mostly for automobiles. And when the batteries run down, 99 percent of this lead is recycled to make new batteries.
This is refered to as the chemical symbol. It is derived from the Latin name for the element which is why some elements like potassium (K) and sodium (N) have symbols different from their name on the periodic table.
