A marine ecosystem off the California coast consists of leatherback turtles that feed on jellyfish, and killer whales that prey

on the leatherback turtles. Habitat loss and fishing have been identified as the main reasons for the reduced numbers of leatherback turtles, who are on the verge of being declared an endangered species. What would be the first effect on the ecosystem if habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked? A) A spurt in the population of jellyfish B) A spurt in the population of killer whales C) A change in the feeding habits of jellyfish D) A migration of jelly fish from the ecosystem

Answer:

The correct answer is A) A spurt in the population of jellyfish.

Explanation:

According to this question, habitat loss affects population of leatherback turtles so the population of the leatherback will go down and it will affect the population of killer whales because killer whales prey on leatherback turtles.  

As the population of leatherback turtles decreases the population of its prey that is jelly will grow very fast due to lack of their natural predators like leatherback turtles.

So if habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked then there will be a spurt in the population of jellyfish and decrease in the population of leatherback turtles and killer whales which will disturb the balance marine ecosystem.

Therefore the correct answer is A) A spurt in the population of jellyfish.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The heritability of type 1 diabetes is likely high, indicating that genetics plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than the environment.

Explanation:

Identical twins are formed when a single zygote separates into two embryos after the process of fertilization. Hence, these twins arise from the same egg and sperm.

Fraternal twins arise when two different sperms fertilize two eggs at the same time.

Hence, we can say that the genotype of the identical twins is similar.

The results from concordance data prove that genetics play a higher role in type 1 diabetes.

By planting trees and cleaning the area.The loss of biodiversity has two significant impacts on human health and the spread of disease. First, it increases the number of disease carrying animals in local populations. ... At the same time, habitat fragmentation brings humans in closer and more frequent contact with these disease carrying species.Participating in Biodiversity Conservation. Identify locations of critical wildlife habitat for species at risk and the threats to these areas. ... Keep vehicles on main roads to reduce the spread of weeds and disturbance to wildlife. Monitor and assess your pets' impact on biodiversity.
