Answer:
1. are heterozygous for the disease.
Explanation:
<em>Since the disease causes the death of chicks before hatching, it means that those with the disease cannot be found in the population. In order for the allele of the disease to be passed from generation to generation, there must be parent birds that are carrying the disease in heterozygous state.</em>
Option 1 is the correct option.
Lakes that have been acidified cannot support the same variety of life as healthy lakes. As a lake becomes more acidic, crayfish and clam populations are the first to disappear, then various types of fish. Many types of plankton-minute organisms that form the basis of the lake's food chain-are also affected. As fish stocks dwindle, so do populations of loons and other water birds that feed on them. The lakes, however, do not become totally dead. Some life forms actually benefit from the increased acidity. Lake-bottom plants and mosses, for instance, thrive in acid lakes. So do blackfly larvae.
Answer:
A. (exponential) population
It's an important part of the bird's ability to maintain its body temperature.
Air is a poor conductor of heat, so the air trapped among the feathers
prevents the loss of heat in cold atmosphere, and prevents overheating
in hot atmosphere. Much like our wearing several layers of clothing.
