B) decrease genetic diversity
Genetic Diversity refers to vast differences in genetic makeup (genotype) and thus often phenotype as well. The more that extreme genes/traits are excluded in survival and/or reproduction, leading to stabilizing selection, then the more genetically "same" or similar the population will evolve to long-term. Similarity is the opposite of diversity. Thus A) is dead wrong, B) is accurate, and both C) & D) are incorrect because "rare" means not common or "extreme." And extreme traits are exactly what decrease through stabilizing selection.
Hope that this.helps! :)
Answer: In ecosystems, matter and energy are transferred from one form to another. Matter refers to all of the living and nonliving things in that environment. Nutrients and living matter are passed from producers to consumers, then broken down by decomposers. Decomposers break down dead plant and animal matter.
Explanation:
The answer for this item is FALSE. The water in liquid form and cube of ice have the same chemical properties as they are both water (H2O). Only the physical properties of the liquid water differ from those of the ice.
