The evolutionary effects of the genetic drift are the greatest when the population is small.
In small populations, genetic drift can significantly change the frequencies of the alleles and affect the genetic structure of the population. In big populations, the effects of the genetic drift are small and insignificant.
The first answer is correct. rRNA makes up ribosomes along with other protiens. rRNA stands for ribosomal ribonucleic acid
Answer:
the body of arboreal animals is flexible that enables them to pass through narrow branches.
1. fossils and chemical isotopes found in sediments and glacial ice
By studying the type of climate fossilized species preferred global temperature trends can be inferred. The changes in the concentration and type of isotopes are also an accurate measurement tool of these changes.
2. decrease in mortality because winter is warmer
The phenomenon known as global warming will bring more extreme weather. Thus, it is possible for some winters to be very cold and summers be very warm.
Even with warmer winters, the mortality will not decrease. Without a snow cover, pests such as mosquitoes and pathogens will thrive and live for longer periods of time. Thus, the spread of diseases will increase which will lead to potential increases in mortality.
3. all activities by humans affecting the Earth and its biosphere
Anthropogenic activities are all activities by humans affecting the Earth and its biosphere.
4. decline in sea ice
The main cause behind declining numbers of polar bears is the diminishing size of the sea ice. The bears use the ice as hunting ground where they stalk seals.
