Answer:

Males are more likely to inherit sex-linked traits because they have only one chromosome that can carry a trait. If a male gets a recessive sex-linked trait, they will always acquire it because they have no other chromosome that will dominant over the recessive.

Which environmental factor could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a population of tuna?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).

Explanation:

There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.

The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.

For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.

Other options, such as an increase in food availability, a decrease in tuna fishing or a decrease in tuna predators, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.
