How would building a freeway through a forest most likely affect the forest ecosystem?

Biology

Alborosie2 years ago

Answer:

It will act as a major barrier between populations on both sides of the freeway, thereby affecting the genetic diversity of the species inhabiting the forest habitats

Explanation:

A freeway may have important negative effects on natural ecosystems by contributing to their degradation and the loss of biodiversity. It has been shown that the freeways produce an irreversible habitat fragmentation capable of altering the genetic structure of the populations inhabiting the area where the freeway pass. In forest ecosystems, an alternative used to reduce the ecological impacts of the freeways is the development of forest corridors for effectively conserving the biodiversity by connecting areas on both sides of the freeway.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Over population

Explanation:

With the coyotes gone, they're prey will have little to no predators. Without their numbers decreasing as quickly (because of the coyote population drop) they will be able to repopulate quicker and less of them will die. This will lead to over population.
