Which of the following is not true of a population of
large predators in a small reserve?
a. the species may disappear from the reserve.
b. the species will probably undergo a population explosion.
c. the species will probably lose genetic diversity.
d. the species may overeat its prey, causing a reduction in prey
population.
Homework Answers
The correct answer is - the species will probably loose genetic diversity.
As the prey population will be less becausw if the high numver of predators ,all the above will occur except disappearance of genetic diversity which is know as genetic make up of organism which is not dependent upon predator population.
Please give a thumbs up.

Which of the following statements about genetic drift as an evolutionary factor is true? a. It is more potent in a population with small numbers than in a population with large numbers. b. It is responsible for the selection of mutations. c. It is connected to the movements of alleles between populations of a single species. d. Its strength is proportional to the size of a population: the larger the population, the greater the force. e. Both a and b

Genetic drift can be an important evolutionary process. This is due to the fact that (A natural selection acting on the genetic variation of a large population B small isolated populations are unable to defend themselves from predators, therefore they loos genetic diversity. Natural selection, in this case, has less variation to work with. C when genetic drift is the only evolutionary process at work, one allele may be lost forever and the other may become fixed (100% frequency). D)...

A population of rats in an area
where rat predators have recently been exterminated is undergoing
exponential growth. That means that the rat population: A) Loses
some individual to emigration B) Adds more new individuals when the
population is small than when it is large C) Is growing at its
maximum per capita rate D) Quickly reaches its carrying
capacity

17.You are a geneticist studying the population genetics of Monarch butterflies. You are particularly interested in one gene for which the species has two alleles: B and b. Upon examining the alleles present in 100 individuals, you find that the B allele is very common, with an allele frequency of .6. Therefore, you calculate that there are a total of _______ b alleles present in the population. Group of answer choices A) 60 B) 80 C) 100 D) 120 E)...

5. Which of the following statements is true about the theory of evolution? The focus of the theory of evolution is to explain the origins of life. According to the theory of evolution, life evolved entirely randomly. The focus of the theory of evolution is to explain how life diversified from the first living cells. According the theory of evolution, only the strongest and toughest can survive. 6. Which of the following best explains our current understanding of microevolution? Neither...

The niche summarizes environmental factors influencing growth, survival, and reproduction of a species The "fundamental" niche refers to physical, but not biological, aspects of the environment Interactions such as competition and parasitism may restrict the size of an organism's niche In the laboratory, two species with identical niches are especially easy to maintain in a mixed culture Which of the following is NOT a population characteristic favored by K-selection? low intrinsic rate of...

Biodiversity Ecologists are interested in quantifying different kinds of biodiversity. In each of the two studies outlined here, which kind of biodiversity are ecologists studying? Ecologists establish 20 small areas, called plots, randomly scattered across a California grassland. They count the number of different plant species present in each plot. By noting how many species appear in the plots, the ecologists are able to estimate the number of species in the entire grassland. a. Genetic diversity b. Functional diversity c.Ecosystem...
