Genetic diversity will decrease on the mainland, because of a population bottleneck. B. Alleles that were more rare on the mainland are likely to become more common on the island, because of the founder effect. C.

- Species that are more vulnerable to certain risk factors are more likely than others to become extinct. For example, species with a unique lineage, such as the giant panda, are likely to be at severe risk of extinction.a. Should our limited resources for species protection be focused on species that are at the highest risk of extinction?b. Do you support the idea that high-risk species may be less successful products of evolution and should not receive extraordinary protection?arrow_forwardThe graph below shows the population of three different families of marine organisms along five different mass extinction events. Each colour on the graph represents a family of organisms, and the Y axis shows how many species belong to that family. a. What stage of population growth is displayed at point ‘0’ on the graph above? b. The Extinction Event that occurred at point 3 was particularly significant. Using the graph, explain how this event impacted each marine family. c. The extinction events mapped above had significant impact on marine life.

Habitat and nutrient resources in an area are plentiful over a long period of time.arrow_forwardA population of lizards colonizes a region and feeds on small arthropod species. Over time, a small group within the population starts eating different types of worms. Over time, this group develops inherited traits that help them catch, eat, and digest the worms.
