The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a species of mammal whose only wild population is native to the isolated island of

Tasmania, off the coast of Australia. Tasmanian devils have a very low level of genetic diversity across the entire species. Researchers hypothesize this lack of diversity is the result of several genetic bottlenecks in the species’ history. In 1996 a new disease called devil facial tumor disease (DFTDDFTD) appeared in the wild Tasmanian devil population. DFTDDFTD can spread from one animal to another and causes the death of most affected animals. The impact of DFTDDFTD on the Tasmanian devil population has resulted in a decrease in the total population of more than 85% over the last two decades. (a) Describe the process that maintained a stable Tasmanian devil population size before the appearance of DFTDDFTD in 1996. (b) Explain how the huge reduction of the Tasmanian devil population since 1996 affects the susceptibility of the current population to new diseases in comparison with the susceptibility of the population before 1996. (c) Tasmanian devils are top predators and are considered a keystone species in their community. Predict the effect of the rapid reduction of the Tasmanian devil population on the rest of the community. (d) Justify the prediction of Part c

In certain bacteria, an oval shape (O) is dominant over round (o) and thick cell walls (T) are dominant over thin (t). Draw on a
seropon [69]

Answer:

Consider the heterozygous oval, thick cell walled bacteria to have the alleles OoTT and the thin cell walled bacteria to have alleles oott. Results will be 50% oval, thick walled bacteria and 50% round, thick walled bacteria. This will be the F1 progeny.

When the oval, thick walled bacteria from the F1 progeny is cross bred with round, thick walled bacteria then 25 percent of the bacteria will be heterozygous oval, thick walled. 25 percent will be heterozygous oval and heterozygous thick walled. 25 percent will be round and thick walled. 25 percent will be round and thin walled.

Compare and contrast a pair of magnets and a pair of water molecules?
avanturin [10]
The pair of magnets and a pair of water molecules are most likely similar. It is because the pair of magnets connects positive to negative and negative to positive, which is also similar to water molecules where they also connect to positive to negative.

The heritability for human traits, such as nearsightedness, _____.
monitta
Heritability is a measure that is used to estimate the variation of phenotypic traits (observable traits) in a given population due to the variation or changes in the genetic make up (genotype) among certain individuals. some of these traits includes color blindness, tongue rolling and curly hair among others. However, some traits such as nearsightedness are caused or influenced by the changes in the environment and therefore Heritability is not a factor to consider when dealing with such traits.

The oil immersion objective is necessary to determine the morphology of prokaryotes
VLD [36.1K]
To clearly view the morphology of the prokaryotes, one needs a microscope with higher resolution i.e magnification of ×100. Use of oil for this purpose is important because it  reduces the refraction of light as it travels from air to glass. this process increases the resolution of the microscope making it possible to view morphology of bacteria.
