During a mission to colonize a new territory, a group of pioneers were to sail across the ocean to a new continent. Before they

set sail, however, a crate of food became infested by a particular species of insect that did not yet exist on the new continent. After the journey, the insects began populating their new surroundings. Which statement best describes how the insect population in the new colony will be different from the original population?

Answer:

The correct answer is-A Genetic diversity in the new insect population will be lower due to the founder effect.

Explanation:

In founder effect, the genetic pool of a population becomes small because a small number of individuals are separated from a large population and established in a new geographical area.

Therefore due to fewer individuals, these individuals would have less genetic variation than the original population and the genetic pool of the new population would also be small. Small gene pool means less genetic diversity.

So when some individuals of particular species of insects that did not yet exist on the new continent populate in their new surrounding then genetic diversity in the new insect population will be lower due to the founder effect.

What are some of the challenges scientists most overcome when studying extreme environments such as deep space or the deep ocean
kvv77 [185]

Let us look at the what, why and how of studying extreme places like the deep earth and the deep space. Scientists need to figure out as to 'what' they want to look at such places, be it a new exotic creature or bio-genesis (birth of life). Unless there are several testable hypothesis constructed, such a study cannot begin. The 'why' aspect deals with the purpose of such research and expeditions. Is it of any use to the humans, or will it improve our current understanding of a phenomenon? The 'how' aspect deals with the technology and the economic assistance that can help in undertaking such a research. All these are the challenges that needed to be thoroughly considered to make such a research or expedition possible.

KIM [24]

Answer: The video shows the plant reacting to external stimuli. Humans also react to many types of external stimuli. If someone touches us when we’re not expecting it, we jump. If we put a hand on something hot, we snatch it away. When it’s cold outside, our bodies shiver and our skin turns cold. When we walk into the sunlight after being in the shade, we tend to close our eyes or squint.
