Answer: Survival rate up to start of April = 76.67%

Explanation: size of colony = 150mice.

Size of colony in February =125mice.

Size of colony in march = 115 mice.

1. Survivorship rate in February

= Size of colony / size in February *100.

= 122 / 150 * 100

= 83.33% to the nearest hundredth

2. Survivorship rate in march

= Size of colony / size in march *100.

= 115/150 * 100

= 76.67% to the nearest hundredth.

By the early 1980s, the population of Florida panthers had dwindled to fewer than 30. Furthermore, within this population was a
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The population suffered a genetic bottleneck, which decreased genetic variation and thereby randomly increasing the frequency of harmful alleles

Explanation:

A population bottleneck, also known as genetic bottleneck, can be defined as a drastic reduction in the size of a population, which may be caused by anthropic activity and/or environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, famines, fires, droughts, etc). A genetic bottleneck leads to a reduction in genetic variability within a population. Moreover, the genetic drifit caused by a genetic bottleneck can also increase the frequency of harmful alleles/mutations (it is due to the random sampling of individuals), thereby increasing the frequency of deleterious alleles/mutations in the population.

what function does the limb serve in each animal? how are the limb bones of the four animals similar? based on these similaritie
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The humans use this limb to grab things, body language, and sign language.

The dogs use this limb for all kinds of weight-bearing activities like walking, jumping, running et cetera.

Birds use this to fly and whales use it as flapper.

The limbs of all these four animals are the example of homologous organs that is, they all are similar in structure but adapted to perform different functions during the course of evolution.

For example, in all four organisms, the limb is made up of the same set of bones such as humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.

Homology in structure shows that they must have evolved from a common ancestor and diverge to perform different functions as an adaptation to the contrasting environment.

Which of the following examples can cause gene flow between populations?
yanalaym [24]
The answer is <span>bird droppings that contain seeds from a different location.

</span><span>Gene flow includes a transfer of alleles from one population to another. So imagine a population of plant A on location 1 and another population of plant A on location 2. They cannot interchange their genes. But if birds drop seeds from location 1 and those seeds get to location 2, gene flow may occur.</span>
