Answer:

Bottleneck effect

Explanation:

The Bottleneck effect is when species go through an event that reduces its population. The ones that survive have reduced genetic diversity compared to the original population since fewer individuals means there are fewer genotypes.

Humming birds have specialiazed beaks that are very long and thin how does this structure of a hummingbirds beak make it more su
dangina [55]
The reason why humming birds need long beaks is to be able to get the nectar from the flowers, kind of like how we need straws to drink out of to go cups. Humming birds also have very long tongues that also help this process. Since humming birds beaks help them get the food they need, it makes them more successful in their environment.

What shape is the sugar in a nucleotide?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

In double-stranded DNA, the molecular double-helix shape is formed by two linear sugar-phosphate backbones that run opposite each other and twist together in a helical shape. The sugar-phosphate backbone is negatively charged and hydrophilic, which allows the DNA backbone to form bonds with water.

In 1998, scientists discovered that the expansion of the universe has been accelerating.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Option A (dark energy) is the right answer.

Explanation:

  • A hypothetical supplier of power that creates a force that contradicts gravity, which is assumed to have been the catalyst of accelerated universe development.
  • Hypothetically, dark energy counteracts the kinetic energy including its beginning of the globe, meaning that perhaps the multiverse does not have intrinsic curvature, although observational measurements presently indicate.

Some other three choices have no relation to the particular situation. Thus option A would be the right solution.

Explain how seasonal changes in carrying capacity can account for the annual cycles in population size observed for this populat
murzikaleks [220]
<span>Carrying capacity is how many animals a given location can hold. This means that if the number of rabbits, n, exceeds the carrying capacity, C, then the difference between the number of rabbits minus the carrying capacity (n - C) will likely die to starvation. Seasons in Ohio can directly affect carrying capacity because colder weather usually means less food. Rabbits can eat plants as well, and in winter, plants do not do well to survive. Thus, the carrying capacity will decrease. In contrast, in summer, plants flourish so the carrying capacity will increase.</span>

Feral cats kill large numbers of native wildlife in Australia. Which technology would allow environmental scientists to know the
denis23 [38]
The correct answer is A.
In order to keep track of the feral cats' location, the animals should have a GPS tag that can be monitored. After the animal has been tagged and released, the scientists can track the movement of the animal and know its exact location at all times.
