Scientists have found that the existing populations of a certain species of amphibian are small in number, lacking in genetic di

versity, and separated from each other by wide areas of dry land. Which of the
following human actions is most likely to improve the long-term survival of the amphibians?
?
A
Cloning the largest individuals to counteract the effects of aggressive predation
Reducing the population size by one-fifth to decrease competition for limited resources
©
Constructing a dam and irrigation system to control flooding
D
Building ponds in the areas of dry land to promote interbreeding between the separated populations

In northern Canada a population of rabbits was predominantly white in color. The allele for white color is recessive while the a
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Directional selection tends to evolve towards one specific trait. In this example, white rabbits no longer have a competitive advantage because of disappearing snow. This means they are more easily spotted by predators, resulting in reduced fitness and less chance they will live to reproductive age and pass their recessive white alleles on.

Natural selection will favor the gray colour allele, increasing the frequency oft this previously rare allele.

How does an increase in available food increase genetic diversity?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

more food means more of the species would stay alive longer so that would mean obviously more mating and mutations.

Where are the different levels of the atmosphere located?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).

Introns in pre-mRNA: a. protect pre-mRNA from enzyme degradation. b. move within the mRNA, giving rise to new exon combinations.
suter [353]

Answer: c. are spliced out of the message.

Explanation: Intron are non-coding portion of the DNA sequence. They do not code for any specific amino acid and are spliced or removed before splicing.

Exons are DNA sequence that code for specific amino acid they are usually left after introns are removed and are joined together before translation into amino acid sequence. Intron splicing can lead to splicing some exons which can lead to formation of an entirely new amino acid or protein.

Spliceosome are enzymes for splicing introns.
